Hello, the winner of the bravery-medal had been prefered for official jobs. They got a little pension ( silver 5 Mark, gold 10 Mark), but in the time of the great depression it was also 10 Mark. My relative ( winner of the silver Medal) had been a worker at a cemetery before 1914. After the war he startet as a policeman, then he became a civil servant at City Hall. He quits in August 1945 and loose his pension, because he was member of the NSDAP, as any official.

Hello dante, do you have created the uniform itself ? The rank of the uniform seems a regular soldier before WW1. The owner of the bar was an "Offiziersstellvertreter". The bar was built after 1934, because of the FEK, but it is a nice bar. Can you show bigger pictures of it? The "Edelweiss" on the cap is a postwar production with the crown inside, I think especially for the ILR. regards Andreas

Hello Miguel, the MVK at your bar is a late Leser-production. It has a spheric eyelet at the agraffe. Look to my little listing for the producers of the mvk, http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/57227-bayerische-militrverdienstkreuz-321-klasse/ http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/43620-what-do-you-know-about-bavarian-mvks/ the owner of the bar was a high rank NCO. He was already 1905 member of the bavarian army, so he got the Jubilee-medal. The service cross is for 15 years and longer. regards Andreas

Hello Larry, very nice pictures. Hello Larry, very nice picture of a bavarian shootingclub member after WW1. After the Kyffhäuser is a "Ehrenlegion des Weltkrieges" and the last medal is the bavarian service-medal for 9 or 12 years. On the picture below you will see a member of the house Lippe-Detmold with a lot of decorations of this dutchy. regars Andreas -
Hello, I think it is impossible to find the owner of the bravery-medal bar. The "Bayerns goldenes Ehrenbuch" includes all the names oft the winners of the Bravery-medal, the MMJO and the Militär-Sanitäts-Ehrenzeichen, about aproximately 4000 Names. In this book are the descriptions of the individual heroics of the winners, but nolisting to their another decorations. On the ancestry-database, you will only find the decorations till end of WW1. I don't know a database for the decorations in WWII and the Partei-decorations. Regards Andreas
