Hi all, A question popped into my head and I'm curious to see if anyone has done some research on this - what were amongst the rarest Imperial awards based on the number of recipients and/or the life-span of the decoration? I guess a good example would be the 'Wilhelm-Orden' or the 'Abzeichen für das militärische Gefolge König Wilhelms II von Württemberg'. If anyone has already crunched the numbers i'd be interested in seeing the results. Thanks, Matt.

Hi Chip, Thanks for your input. The name of the guy on the right is Lange, and he was in Flieger-Abt 27 in 1918. That's all I know about him so far, but your information might help me to find out a bit more... -

Hi all, Here is a better image of the person in question. Ccj was correct about the pilot badge. And here is another photo of (I think) a member from the same regiment, who was also in the Fliegertruppe. Thanks agin. Matt. -

Hello all, Thanks to everybody for your replies, it gives me a chance to find his name one day. -
Hi Alex, Thanks for the nice pic - this photo was also on the website, but I didn't get to save it in time. But I can now! Not sure if they were related, but there is also an Erwin Holtzmann (b. 07/12/1887) in the Fliegertruppe. A few photo's etc. of Erwin are available for viewing at https://www2.landesarchiv-bw.de/ofs21/olf/struktur.php?bestand=6597&baumSuche=Ho&standort=H%C3%B6l Regards, Matt.
