Hello, there are many possible professions here. A university teacher, a clergyman, a mayor of a large city. A high administrative official, perhaps also a higher court official. We won't find out from the ribbons.

This might be a Kriegerbund award like this Bundesehrenkreuz

Here two copies of the Stammrolle. Both say Ö MVK2, but on the picture he had a knightscross of the Franz-Joseph-Order

Hello, thats Prinzregent Luitpold the father of Leopold. I don't know the two awards.

Hello, on Sunday I was able to get a few more pieces from my South African friend. His father was in the South African Air Force during the Second World War and then in civil aviation in SA.

Thank you very much for the explanation.

beware of chrisnico. Bad fakes.

Here the difference between a original and the shown MVO Here the original

The quillons of the swords are typical for the the "Sammlerraritätenclub".

Thats a Hemmerle silver guilt.

Hi, here my little ILR corner. The last arrival was the badge of Schweinfurt.

The manufacturer of the three MVO is Weiss&Co. The enamel of the right one looks awful. It should look like the left one.

My newest entry. I've been searching for this Hemmerle with golden medaillons about ten years. regards Andreas

Hello, the pieces with crown are usually twice as expensive, because much rarer. 4 class swords about 20,000 awards, MVO 4th class crown and swords about 3,500 awards. This class rarely appears lately, which also drives up the price. The shown cross is a Hemmerle with silver gilded medallion. regards Andreas

After 20 years of MVK searching, I was now able to get my first piece without swords. It is a second class from Hemmerle.

Beautiful "Sargdeckel-Etui" Rudi I don't know the reason why they change the color. Regards Andreas

Yes, this is a real golden MVO. Finding a single ribbon will be difficult. Maybe ask Marco Kögl, he collects Bavarians himself and has a lot of Bavarians in his shop. http://mkoegl.de/ Greetings Andreas

Hello, beautiful Hemmerle piece. It is an MVO with genuine gold medallions. The award period should be until the end of 1916, from then on silver-gilt pieces were officially issued. Of course, returned pieces may have been issued later. The MVO with swords should be from the war period. How is the band ring stamped on the inside? Regards Andreas

The composition does not fit here. After the EK, a Cross of Honour of Hohenzollern, followed by the Bavarian MVO and the Military Max Joseph Order. I think this is a modern compilation.

Hello, the sign on the end of the card would also be Schlieper

Thank you very much for the information. I will ask his son if his father had anything to do with the meterological service.

Hello, can no one give me any information on this?
