    1. Nice collection.
      The green pins with parts of a bird are awards for a special traditional competition, called "Vogelkönig".
      see this link.
      If you seperate one part of this wooden bird, you win the special pin.
      In your collection are several kinds of shooting pins of traditional and sporting competitions.
      I think all are shooting pins.

       

    2. Hello,
      I am member of a traditional german shootingclub for over 40 years.
      There are a lot of badges, pins and medals in this organisation.
      There are awards for traditional shooting like the bar in your picture, given for "Schützenkönig" and other winners of this competition.
      Also awards for membership in the organisation 25, 40 50... years.
      Awards for officials in all levels of the shooting organisation and last but not least awards for shooting competitions.
      Here are some of my pins for shooting competitions from upper franconia and bavaria.
      Regards Andreas

    4. Hellollo CCJ,

      the level of the MVK depended on the grade at the time of application. If the soldier was later promoted, then the class did not change. It also happened that the MVK was awarded several times to a soldier, so could the class be higher.
      Here are all classes from wartime and the corresponding ranks:
      MVK 1st class with crown and swords:
      middle officials in the war Ministry like paymaster
      7 MVK at the warribbon all others with the ribbon of war merit (Beamtenband).
      It was up to the service, but especially on the addition of "middle officials in the Ministry of War".
      Some awards after renewed bravery for1st class owner with swords.

      MVK 1st class with swords:
      Feldwebelleutnante, middle officials and z. B. field medical assistants, Reichsbahninspektoren

      MVK 2nd class with crown and swords
      Officer Deputy, Unterzahlmeister, Musikmeister

      MVK 2nd class with swords:
      Deputy Sergeant, Sergeant, Ensign

      MVK 3rd class with crown and swords:
      NCOs and sergeants

      MVK 3rd class with swords:
      Private and crews

      Here in german:
      MVK 1. Klasse mit Krone und Schwertern:
      mittlere Beamte im Kriegsministerium ( 7 am Kriegsband)
      Es kam auf die Dienststellung an, aber vor allem auf dem Zusatz "mittlere Beamte im Kriegsministerium". Einige Verleihungen nach erneuter Tapferkeit für
      Inhaber der 1. Klasse mit Schwertern.

      MVK 1. Klasse mit Schwertern:
      Feldwebelleutnante, mittlere Beamte und z. B. Feldhilfsärzte, Reichsbahninspektoren

      MVK 2. Klasse mit Kr. und Schw.:
      Offiziersstellvertreter, Unterzahlmeister, Musikmeister

      MVK 2. Klasse mit Schwertern:
      Vizefeldwebel, Feldwebel, Fähnriche

      MVK 3. Klasse mit Krone und Schwertern:
      Unteroffiziere und Sergeanten

      MVK 3. Klasse mit Schwertern:
      Gefreite und Mannschaften

      I hope you understand my report. I've used the google translator,
      Regards Andreas

      HI, he was VizeFW 2.8.1914, then Offz Stellv. 8.8.1914 then Lt d. L.II in April 1915.

      I must fix my scanner to get a better pic, but the MVO is in a Hemmerle box.

      So if the MVK is late production it must be from a different family member.

       

      The MVO is a Hemmerle, but I cant see if it is a golden or a silver guilt medaillon. So I need the backside of this award.
      I think the MVK is from another relative. What is written at ancestry about the Landwehr-Leutnant?
