Here the decoration with the Karl-Truppen-Kreuz to austrian telephone operators.

Hello, in the book "Bayerns Goldenes Ehrenbuch", which shows the storys about all owners of the Militär-Max-Joseph-Orden, Militärsanitätsehrenzeichen and the Tapferkeitsmedaillie Gold / Silber, said his birthday was in 1892. For over three years I worked on a database about the owners of the bavarian bravery-medal. My references were this book, a brochure of the "Verein der Tapferkeitsmedaillienträger 1955" and the listings of the ancestry-database.

Hello, in my documents, his birthday was in 1892, 30. August. He also awarded the EK 1, EK2 and the bavarian MVK 3. class with crown and swords. His last rank was Unteroffizier. Andreas

Hello, the bill was for an Feldwebel (NCO). That was a lot of money this time. A regular worker earned 180 RM/month and one Kilogramm bread was 0,37 Reichsmark.

Hello, very nice document. The winner of the EK was also a winner of the golden bavarian bravery medal !!

Hello Chris, that is right. It was the last production of Deschler.

Hello, he startet his military carrer on the 1.2.1917. First unit was Ersatzabteilung ( replacement Battalion) 3. Chevaulegers Regiment for training . In November 1917 he changed to the regular 3. Chev.Regiment. Here the battles of the last page: 26.7. - 2.8.1918 bewegliche Abwehrschlacht ( defensive battle) zwischen Marne und Ysle 11.8. - 3.9.18 Stellungskämpfe ( position competition) an der Vesle 4.9. - 9.10. Kämpfe ( battle) an der Siegfriedlinie 10.10.1918 Rückzugsgefechte ( rearguard action ) zwischen Aisne Secre bis zur Maas The first page is very difficult to read, but I try it Andreas

Hello Ed, Ohnesorg joined the Chevaulegers in 1917, 5th escadron 3. Chevaulegersregiment on 22.11.17. His profession was plumber. He changed to the artillery as a driver on 28.1.1918. 2. mobiles Ersatz Bataillon 2. bayerisches Fuß-Artillerie Regiment. He was educated at the rifle 98 and the tubular steel lance. He left the army at 12.11.1918 to his hometown Kaiserslautern. He was awarded with the EK2 on the 18.7.1918. The list of the battles are very difficult to read.

This veteran was awarded with the braverymedal of Würtemberg, the EK2 and the servicemedal of Würtemberg. regards Andreas

Hello, Ohnesorg changes in January 1918 from the Chevaulegers to the artillery as a driver. He finnished the war with the bayerisches Fußartillerie-Bataillon 28. He was awarded with the EK2 in July 1918. I could find his dates at the ancestry-database. Kaiserslautern is a city in the Pfalz-region, which belongs in this time to bavaria. Thats the reason why he join the bavarian army. Show us some pages. Cheers Andreas

Hello Herman, that is a original MVK second class from the manufacturer Leser. It was the latest edition of Lesers production during WW1. regards Andreas

Thank you very much for the informations and the nice pictures. The marking is WC ( Weiss & Co ) 950 for silver. Gratulation to this beatiful item, a highlight for the collection.

Hello, congratulation to this nice silver gilt MVO. Is it a second class? Did you get this award with its box? Are there any markings on the MVO? What is its weight of the single cross? I'm not a specialist with the higher grades of the MVO, so I want to become some informations about it. Thank's for showing

That was the "fashion" of the napoleonic aera. Bavaria fought with Napoleon until 1812.

Hello, here is a postcard of the 100 aniversary of the Leibregiment. The picture shows the uniforms of the beginning. Look at the stamp, it is from the "Leiberverein Aschaffenburg".

Hello Chris, do you have a photo of the officer's ring? I know only the regular ring.

Hello Chris, do you know this link? http://www.kriegsopfer.org/Weltkrieg/Infanterie_Leib_Regiment/Leiberring.htm The owners are soldiers and NCO's. There only one ore two Leutnants. Cheers Andreas

Hello, that was a award for helpful work, given to members of the redcross. The founder of this award was the redcross-association of Thüringen (Thüringer Landesmännerverein v. Roten Kreuz) I don't know the time it was awarded, but the font looks like early 20th century. Cheers Andreas

Hello, you have very nice collection, perfect presented. All items are in very good condition. The 08's are faboulos, I like them. cheers Andreas

Someone tells a lot of the story of the decoration. That makes the decoration not better. Look at the crown of the lions head. The original has a square form not a round form. Here a original Ries
