Yes this makes more sense, thanks!

Hi Vince, Thanks for your reply. Sadly I only have the photo, not the bar. Below is what I think is being displayed (I'm no expert):- Eiserne Kreuz 2 Klasse Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2 klasse mit schwertern Ritterkreuz des Hausordens von Hohenzollern mit Schwertern Albrechts-Orden, Ritterkreuz 1 Klasse mit Schwertern Friedrichs-Orden, Ritterkreuz 1 Klasse mit Schwertern Ritterkreuz 1 Klasse des Ordens vom Zähringer Löwen mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern Österr. Militar-Verdienstkreuz 3 Klasse mit der Kriegsdekoration Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer Österr. Kriegserinnerungsmedaille mit Schwertern Wehrmacht-Dienstauszeichnung Wehrmacht-Dienstauszeichnung Ungar. Kriegserinnerungsmedaille mit Schwertern Bulg. Militarverdienstorden 4 Klasse mit Krone und Schwertern ??? Türkischer Medjidje-Orden mit Säbeln ??? Türkischer Liakat-Medaille mit Säbeln Türkischer Eisernen Halbmond mit Spange Not sure why the Imtiaz and Sudeten medals are not on the bar....

Hi all, I saw this photo of a ribbon bar online. Do you think it's legit, and if so, whether the owner can be identified? Thank you, Matt.

Unknown Oberst

Hi all, Does anyone recognise this general please? I believe he is with officers of Fliegerabteilung 203. Thank you, Matt.

Hi all, Here is a list of awards from the Erfurter Allgemeiner Anzeiger dated 27th Jan 1915. Is it known how many awards of the SEK2x and SEK3x were made during WW1 ?

Hi Gunnar, Many thanks for the additional info!

A new first name: Carl Maier, whose HOH3x was noted in the MWB dated 15th October 1918. This announcement in 'Der Postillon' is dated 19th August, nearly two months before it was gazetted in the MWB. He also had the WF3bx. If anyone has more information on this man, I'd be happy to hear from you

Agreed it's a lovely photo. I saw it on ebay after the listing had ended. Only one bidder - it sold for EUR 2.99 !

Hi all, This could be a new one - former WW1 ace Otto Creutzmann

Found this photo of Hptm Fritz von Brandt gen. Flender

Unknown officer

Hi everyone, this is great. Thanks for the additional information as well. Ok, here is a Rittmeister in FEA 11 - but who?

Hi all, Who is this please?

Thanks guys! Ok, here is another one - Kampfstaffel 19 (Schutzstaffel 19)

Hi all, Who's signature is this please?

Hello, This is probably Karl Gottlieb Zielke (b. 27/06/1887) who married Erna Rentel in 1917. Died in 1942 as a Major aD as per Ancestry.

Hi all, In addition to the Hermann Becker mentioned on page 43 of this thread, I have found the below newspaper article. I'm not sure if this is the same man, or yet another Lt dR Hermann Becker. Wiesbadener Zeitung dated 14 Oct 1920

Hi Dave, Thanks a lot. I was thinking this unknown Oberst might be Schüz, but it doesn't appear to be him.

Hi Dave, Is there a personnel file for the Luftwaffe GM Hans Schüz? I'd love to see a decent photo of him.

Another person I couldn't find in the MWB was Oberst aD Ludwig Haushalter. He was mentioned previously on this thread.

It's probably the Johanniter beneath his OFA1.

Brilliant, thank you! I'll keep going. This one is of FAA 262 just after the end of WW1 :-
