Very cool addition

Wowza

I know that they used them in many different countries in Croatian concentration camps during WW2 they had the slogan "Zidov" (or in Croatian, "Jew") I think it is possible that different countries that were under Nazi allieship used different slogans to whatever language was their native language.

Perfect addition Obi, very very nice

Thanks for the info Rogi.

Paul

Glad to help Paul, I just hope I'm right on the aircraft if my vision gets a bit clearer in the next couple days I'll double check to make sure, but it sure looks like the Hawker Hind K-9

An impressive grouping.

The second medal is the Prussian Red Eagle Order, 4th Class.

Kind regards

Pierce

Thank you for your kind comments Pierce and for the correction don't know what happened to me there changed to Order of the Red Eagle

South-West Afrika Campaign medal doc:

China Campaign Medal Doc:

and Jubilee Medal Doc:

Service record

That is it for now, most of the other stuff is a bit too blurry in the photos (I know I'm missing the 25 years and another service record (more official) plus 2 or 3 more promotion papers) but I'll try and post the other documents (yes there is more ) sometime this week when my vision clears up. I hope these ones aren't too blurry

Thank you all for your expert opinions and comments :)

Some other pages, not really sure what these are:

Iron Cross 2nd Class doc:

zoomed in

Baden War Merit Cross Doc.

more documents:

First item, his Reise Pass,

With a photo, not of the full bar, but looks like pre Iron Cross and Baden War Merit Cross,

Something written on the very last page, opposite direction,

Will have to redo this photo later as there is another word in the center that the flash obscured.

Promotion paper, (has a very cool seal you can't see in the photo

Second page:

and bottom of the page:

Recently picked this one up, asked a couple friends on the forum for advice on it and they said it was very cool

It arrived today from the dealer and want to see if everyone approves/if it looks ok since there are a lot of documents.

I think it looks great and hopefully you guys enjoy it too Major Karl Adolf Paul Koepke was a Deputy Chief Executive of the Train Depot of the XIV Army, he served in China as well as South Afrika, all medals come with award docs. So I'd like to double check with the Document collectors as well as the medal bar experts to see if everything lines up now that it is here "in the flesh" so to speak I'd love to research this group further if possible but I'd like to double check (while I still have the return policy available if something is off)

If you guys need a zoom in on any documents or have any questions don't hesitate to post

Thanks all for looking in.

I might have to post a couple pictures since there are a lot of documents in the set and it is taking a bit to upload them all

Really enjoy the group so far and hope you guys do too

To start off the medal bar:

left to right, 1. Iron Cross 2nd Class (1914, awarded in 1916), 2. Order of the Red Eagle 4th class (awarded in 1903),3. Baden War Merit Cross (awarded in 1916), 25 Year Service Cross (awarded 1906), German Southwest Afrika Medal (Non-combat issue awarded 1907) China Campaign Medal(non-combat issue awarded in 1901), Jubilee Medal (awarded in 1897)

Reverse

The aircraft resembles a Hawker, not sure if its a modified Hawker Hind (Gnome Rhome k9 engine Variant) (closest resemblance to the photo atm with my bad vision

We received 4, in 1931 and not sure what happened till the start of the war, but I believe some were still operational, I think the best guess will be the uniforms the men are wearing for a better time period

The seller "harvested" about 5000€ on this sale.

Best regards,

Jan

Sad to hear

I dont understand why people do this, just to lazy to find a collector who wants to keep this group together and would rather ruin history for a couple euros
