Gratulation, it is not easy to find a bravery-medal with all papers.

Very nice bar, gratulations. Mennacher was member of the bavarian Infanterie Leibregiment. He also got the Leiberring Nr. 147 and the Edelweiss . Do you have the complete military heritage of him?

Hello, it was allowed to fix this coin on bar. The ribbon was the same as the Jubiläumsmedaillie The coin was given without any ring.

Hello, might it possible, that the yellow/white ribbon shows the Westwallmedaillie? It could be possible that the owner was first member of the RAD and became later a soldier.

Hello Chris, you have very good ears. That will be a holliday for my collection. regards Andreas

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.

I'm not sure, but this officer could be Marquard Sleevogt, who was comander till 1910. This picture of the book "Unsere Jäger" shows Sleevogt. I'm not sure, because I miss the MVO Ritter second class.

Hello, my newest entry. Soldiers of the 2.JgB Aschaffenburg

Hello, here two pictures from my relative. The champagne and cognac will probably ended up in the bellies of the officers.

Unrelated original bits? The uniform is in a very good condition.

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 dante, nice picture. The rifle seems to be a Gewehr 88, used by Landwehr-units. regards Andreas

Hello Alex, very, very nice bar . Redenbach was also awarded with the EK1 and the woundbadge in gold. On the last position of the bar had to be a bavarian 9 year sevice-medal. Do you have a picture of him? regards Andreas

Hello, nice picture, below the EK is the war-medal 1871 and the bavarian veterans-cross 1866. Sorry, but I can't describe his rank and I don't know if it is a bavarian or a prussian uniform. regards Andreas

Hello Scott, the MVK is a early Lauer and very nice. regards Andreas

Hello, here a picture of my relative ( the same as my avatar), doing his job .

Hello, a NCO's bar is possably. MVK, EK2 and Preussisches Militärehrenzeichen, but an officers-bar is also possably. 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 Jody, a very nice bar of an bavarian NCO. The manufacturer of the MVK was Lauer (Nürnberg) Regards Andreas

Hello Spasm, a very fine miniature. The swords of the MVO look like the swords of Godet MVO's. The mini of the 1th Chev. Reg. ist fantastic, thanks for showing. regards Andreas

Hello Sascha, I see the bavarian regimental medal too. regards 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

hello alan, that would be my favourite bar. It would be very intersting, to know the name of the owner of this bar. The second ribbon could be for the bavarian bravery-medal or for the Militär-Max-Joseph-Orden.

Hello Christophe, very nice items. Thank you for showing this beautiful decorations. The officers cross Sachsen-Meiningen in a box is very seldom. regards Andreas
