I believe this medal bar to be a fake, based on the gold baden merit medal and the bavaria cross, which has the belt buckle fully enamelled. Any opinions?

Hello,

the bavarian MVK 2. class crown and swords is manufactuerd bei Godet for private trading.

Godet produced this decorations since the first worldwar, but that are no official decorations.

#1 dates the photo to at least 1911, #3 to 1913. It could be either the 2nd or 3rd class.

Notice: he apparently did not want to buy battle clasps for his 1870/71 medal, although he had about 20 years to think about it!

Hello,

#3 can also be a Landwehrdienstauszeichnung for 5 years.

Hello,

this is my first posting at this forum. Sorry about my english, but I will try my best.

On ancestry database are a lot of informations about Hans Böhning. He had 18 victories and a lot of decorations. Eisernes Kreuz first class and second class. Ritterkreuz des Hausordens von Hohenzollern, bavarian Militärverdienstorden 4. class with swords and the 4th class with crown & swords. Woundbadge silver, Flugzeugführerabzeichen (pilotbadge).Usually got the pilot for the first victory the Fliegerpokal , but on the ancestry file for Böhning is no proof for it.
