I have to agree because it seems that there is a civilian (?) in the background.... ....someone is wearing a summer hat, see attachment. Best regards Karsten

Hello, I think here´s another example for black ribboned EK for service on the homefront but in this case for a marine-guy. Marine-Oberingenieur der Seewehr II. Otto He was member of "Schiffsbesichtigungskommission Hamburg" and he received the black ribboned EK and "Hamburger Hanseatenkreuz" in December 1915. Finally the department celebrated the receipt of both awards for Marine-Oberingenieur Otto at the end of December, which was called "Ordensfest". It exist also one document which is connected to that celebration. There is mentioned in a lyrical notion for what O

Right👍 As Rick used to say: -- but as ALWAYS in these cases, please anybody else do NOT post original wearer's name identification for any item up for sale while it is still for sale: not only is that free/unearned data FOR some unknown seller's sole gain, but largely a waste of time for items which vanish into the Great Unknown anyway and are NOT brought home by Faithful Readers here. Regards Karsten

PM sent👍 Regards Karsten

Hello Claudio, Didn't you received my Email yesterday? I wrote an Email to you and there was also mentioned the name of the owner Regards Karsten

Hello Daniel, yes he should know 🙃😉 Incredible bar🤪 Good luck Claudio! Regards, Karsten

Hello👋 Ooh I didn't know it😯😯 Sorry to hear that☹️ But I think you have no problems with your "title"? But isn't it typical for chinese culture to copy things without permission🤔 Take it easy it was my fault. I don't post anything anymore. So let's laugh about it and everything is forgotten😎👌 Have a nice week and regards

Thanks for posting my picture!! Here you will find some more details for the first pic

Hello Sascha, maybe we can date the change from smooth to pebbled cross arms after may 1885 It seems that red eagle order 4th class with swords with smooth cross arms was also awarded in May 1885 Kind regards Karsten

Hello, I would suggest goldenes Militärverdienstkteuz due the fact that he received the medal for combat in 1918. Goldenes Miliärverdienstkreuz was the highest military award for NCO and enlisted men. I think someone is able to prove it. So could you deliver his name? Kind regards Karsten

Does anyone have any further details? Thanks and best regards Karsten

Hello all, do we really have a FAM-ribbon? The ribbon looks like the saxon "Erinnerungkreuz" for 1866: http://orden.100ossi100.bplaced.net/24a6bc96790dcbe01/24a6bc97a510ac401/index.html The last ribbon could also stands for a swedish decoration! best regards Karsten

Hello Andy, thanks a lot for your help. Unfortunately I couldn´t find any details about the city where he ´s buried. Kind regards Karsten

Hi Andy, Erwin Immanuel Fischer was born 26th October 1866 in Smazin, Kreis Neustadt (West-Prussia). He married Clara Toni Hirschborn on 21st November 1903 (born: 15th April 1884) divorce from his wife Clara on 22nd July 1918 He received his bavarian citizenship on 4th January 1919 He died on 5th Ocotber1938 Regards Karsten

Hello all, thanks a lot for your great research Andy. He's mentioned as Oberstleutnant a.D. on his gravestone. So he was never Oberst. It seems that he has also lost his prussian citizenship. He received a bavarian citizenship at the beginning of 1919. He married a second time but finally he was destitute. I will take further research. But now I have an evidence. Thanks to Andy =) Thanks a lot and Best regards Karsten

Hello all, I need research-help for Oberstleutnant Erwin Immanuel Fischer (Patent Oberstlt. with 27th January 1914) In 1914 he served in 3. Großherzogl. Hessisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 168 I have the following informations according to his award documents: till Ocotober 1914: Chef des Generalstabes des Gouvernements der Festung Metz till December 1915: Chef des Generalstabes der Armee-Abteilung von Strantz He held this position till december 1915 and was replaced by Wilhelm Wild I have no further informations for his service in WW1. I hope someone,

Hi all, it was allowed to wear different classes at the same time when they were awarded for different wars. vEpp received his MVOs for service in China, Southwestafrica and WW1. Best wishes Karsten

Hello all, it´s Kurt von Schleinitz! You will find his biography on that website also: http://www.germancolonialuniforms.co.uk/ Best regards Karsten Ek2 = MMV2 Last order = RumSt5 -> see

Hello again, thanks for your input. But I was not asking for the rule of successions. I was asking for your argument with 5 and 10 years.... But don´t forget that there were also exceptions, see attached photo (from my ex-collection)! It shows a saxon NCO (Unteroffizier) with: GSWA-medal/ MEZ2 and sFAM A proud saxon with his saxon award on the last position So never say never! Best regards Karsten

Hello, could you please explain 5 and 10 years for both FA-medals. I can't follow you in that case. FA-medal in bronce was awarded to enlisted men and FA-medal in silver was awarded to NCOs You wrote: the saxon medals should always come first or second, but never be third after an medal from the colonies. Are you sure? We have seen some bars wir the craziest succession of medals/ decorations But I don't like also the shown medal bar, due to other reasons. Best regards Karsten

hello all, the photo shows Bayme Mohamed Husen! A former Askari. He fought together with his father for Lettow-Vorbeck in WW1 His father was KIA and Bayme Mohamed Husen was taken POW in 1917 The photo shows him as an acteur for the movie "Die Reiter von Deutsch-Ostafrika"! Best regards

Hi, it could be identifiable. We have the Stanislaus ribbon on the last position! So it could be the Stanislaus 3rd class with swords. Some german fighter's received that award for their participation on the battle of the Peitang-Forts! Not many of them fought also in German-Southwestafrica! So may be identifiable. Best regards Karsten
