Hi, your badges are South African Air Force, SAAF (though the last row of buttons appear to be RAF).
the Brevet (half wing) is RO = Radio Operator and M = Marconis (Afrikaans for radio operator) this was issued from 1961 to 1994 to aircrew trained as radio operators.
The epaulette is SAAF rank of Captain.
The eagle and SA also SAAF
I hope this helps.
Thank you very much for the explanation.

Could you elaborate why you think that? It looks convincing to me?
The quillons of the swords are typical for the the "Sammlerraritätenclub".

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

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

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

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.

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 Andreas0 -
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 Schlieper1 -
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?

Hello,
I received some of his father's Luftwaffe badges from a fellow shooter. His father was in the air force in his military days and later also in civil aviation. There are three sets of buttons, one large and one small.
What period do these buttons date from? Two sets have an air force eagle with crown, one set has the South African coat of arms.
The cloth badge has only one wing, as he was probably an observer and radio operator. What do the letters R - O - M stand for ?
The epaulette is probably from civil aviation.
Is the small golden eagle for the collar civilian or military?
I would be very grateful for any answers, as I am not at all familiar with this subject.
