Sascha, you are right, but the Schwarzburg order was with swords. Somebody of the family took out the swords a longer time ago. I replaced this order. And in the last position was a Wehrmacht 12 year long service medal 1957 form. I got this bar togehter with a picture of the Oberleutnant including KrO4. The backside is red. best regards Seeheld

Dear Gents, I got this medalbar from ebay some months ago. According to the seller it's came direct from the family. The seller told me the name Oberleutnant Franz Buchholz. It's will make me very happy if somebody can confirm this name. Because Papers are not available. Thank you in advance Regards Seeheld

In the Hessenthal and Schreiber Book are many mistakes. But sofar the book is correct as the MVK without date was also arwarded in 1905/06. In reality This rare cross was arwarded from 11.10.1889 until 13.11.1913 for different campaigns in Afrika (Kamerun, Südwest-Adfrika, Deutsch-Ost-Afrika) and also against Japan in 1905. Best Regards Seeheld

Thank you for the welcome. I sailed also in the Gulf of Aden, but without problems... I used the time and finished all MVKs from Schwerin so far as available. The MVK 1st class and 2nd class are published until May 1917 only. All together are ca. 42000 Names in my list. I will hand over to Daniel in Potsdam in September. But back to this wonderful bar. In my rolls I found 107 Prussians from General to Gefreiter. It's not so easy to find out a name. According to the battle bars its should (prussian is possible, but the chance is much lower) be a Mecklenburgian Soldier, but Mecklenburgian troups are never involved in Denmark at 1864. This is bullsh... I mean this soldier should be in a prussian regiment which fought with mecklenburgian Regiments. Because Mecklenburgian Regiment arrived the front later after the Battle of Wörth. Many prussian brave soldiers are arwarded with the MVK 1870 due to the Battle of Loigny-Poupry, Le Mans and Paris. This is the reason why I believe the MVK 1864 is not correct. But maybe I'm wrong, it's a theorie only. Best Regards Seeheld

Hi Wild Card, at first I have to say: NICE BAR! Andreas was sending me pictures before you got this bar. My Opinion is that the MVK 1864 is wrong on this bar. According to the battle bars its should (prussian is possible, but the chance is much lower) be a Mecklenburgian Soldier, but Mecklenburgian troups are never involved in Denmark at 1864. I believe here is a MVK 1870 missing. Best regards Seeheld

Hello rob65, I'm never saw a knight cross of the wendian crown like yours. As I know is this not an official arwarded one. It's looks like a foreign maker with a wrong back side. The comlete Item is different (Crown, Griffins...). But one thing is sure: Your Wendian Crown is never from the period of Feb 1918 until Nov 1918. At this time are no Crosses manufactured and no model change has done. Best regards Seeheld
