      Hello, here I have a nice photo from the 12th IR. There are some officers who were probably photographed after receiving awards. There are three bearers of the Bavarian. Military Medical Order can be seen. 2nd from the right is Dr. Bub. I cannot assign the other two because I have three names. Dr. Miller, Dr. Bortscheller and Dr. Ott. In the middle stands Colonel Policzka, who has received the MVO 3rd class crown swords. Can one of you assign other officers. On the far right in the back row there could be Major Sand (the man without a neck)

      Thank you Alex, that's a great start. If I'm not mistaken the HoHx and the MMJO seem to be gold, whereas the BMVO4/3x seems to be silver-gilt?

      Kind regards, Laurentius

      The MVO is a third class with swords, awarded 12 Sept. 1917, so it should be  silver-guilt.

      Walter is 100 % right.
      You've got a fake.
      Your first class with swords from Leser is also not a original. Compare the letters of the medaillons to the cross from Walter . The cypher "L" won't be made of gold.
      This classes of MVK are often faked.

      I think the small boxes are probably MVK or MVO , Tapferkeits medals would probably have been awarded first... but I really wonder what is in the small packages???

      Sometimes brave soldiers got gifts from their king like watches or cufflinks.
      Here a example
      A soldier received a pair of cufflinks from the Crown Prince for his escape from a prison camp

      Wow, that was fast - and obviously too easy ? - thanks Glenn!

      Now here in contrast is a really tricky one which, I am afraid, perhaps cannot be definitely solved at all (or only with another, named picture to compare) - an officer from Amberg with his wife. Unfortunately no name, no medal bar and the numeral / symbol on his Schulterstück is impossible to identify, even with a magnifyer, so I can only assume he also belonged to KB6IR. Any guesses?

      But anyway - I really love the medals of his wife, awarded for her service as a nurse or the likes in 1870/71 as she has the noncombatants commemorative medal for that conflict. ? Have a nice sunday!

      Very nice.
      The first medal is the bavarian Zivilverdienstmedaille.
