Wow, great!

Why?

Ok, that is good to hear. Hopefully they have Not Been so expensive...regarding other stuff from this House ????

That is really interesting. I own weidgen's Award document for the Finnish medal of Liberty. All His Other documents i sold 4 years ago to a German collector

Hi guys,

interesting topic. Here is my only dogtag...but I think it is a nice and rare one...unfortunately it is broken in the middle.

Finnish Jäger Bataillon 27, located in Lockstedt.

Hello Christer,

I found it - it was an auction in Sweden...but in 2012...

http://www.probusauktioner.se/auktion/objectWinInfo.asp?objektnr=558&auktionsnamn=Auktion%2019%20den%205%20november%202012

Never miss a probusauktioner-auction

Hello Christer,

that is a nice one. I haven't had an auction on my screen in April. Was it sold at Swedish ebay?

Greetings

Mikko

hello,

i found out, that the soldier also received an ek1 in ww1. could this information help to find a name?

it would be also interesting to know, christophe, when your possible candidates had died. one could only receive a helsinki medal when stoll alive in 1938?!

regards

mikko

thank you, christophe. so the research is going on...

maybe the volkspflege decoration can be a key. and the veteran must have been still alive in 1938 due to the helsinki medal...ok, all lot of baltic division veterans have been quite young

mikko

Thanks Christophe,

hm, maybe an additional information (the last I have - wanted to keep it to see whether someone hits the name straight...).

The seller told that him was told (and maybe so on...) that the guy was Oblt Grimm (or Graim)...

That's all I have...

Maybe a hint? Maybe not!

Cheers

Mikko

Hello Gentlemen,

recently, I could acquire this interesting miniatyre chain from a Baltic Division-veteran.

All I could research for my own is the fact, that this guy must have been from the "Sächsische Karabinier-Regiment". On the chain the following crosses are missing:

• Weimarer-Medaille
• KVK 2
• Helsinki Medaille 1938

The "Sächsische Karabinier-Regiment" was located in the city of Borna.

Is someone out there who can give a name to this chain?

I will be very thankful.

Best regards

Mikko

Hello collectors,

I got into the possession of maps of a person called M. Ritter und Edler von Oetinger; he signed some of his maps with "v. Oetinger".

I am not familiar with him - a hint for you research gnomes - might be on one of the added pictures, it says:

M. Ritter u, Edler v. Oetinger

Hauptmann u. Kommandeur

J Mun Kol 1 G R

Feldpoststation 286 (Kolonnenstelle)

Who can help me? And who is interested in these maps - it is really not my area of collecting.

Regards

Mikko

very nice

Hello Christer,

wow, thank you for the pictures. From what book did you take them?

Regards

Mikko

Nowadays it is almost impossible to be 50 years at the same employer...but yearly in the 20th century, why not.

Here is another difficult one...maybe the number "50" can be a valuable hint.

Regards

Mikko

Dear Research Gnomes,

I opened my treasure box for another medal bar...although it might be again to difficult to identify, I can only sleep well unless the truth pops out whether it can be identified or not.

Regards

Mikko

Rick, thank you for your explanation.

Thanks for the offer Rick.

I will try this once more:

http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/58860-imperial-bavarian-group-with-finnish-medals-picture-existing/

It was posted in June, but no response. Maybe it fell under the table due to the great Finnish awards thread.

Best regards

Mikko

Hello collector-friends,

enjoy the following two pics. I think this is what you seek...

The first group is - unfortunately - not named...the second is, but I forgot the name...can take some days to find it in my archives.

Two nice and rare groups!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards

Mikko

Always when I visit Helsinki and I am standing in front of the White Cathedral (created after the plans of the German architekt Engel) I get goose bumps when I remind myself of these old picture of German troops passing the White Cathedral when celebrating the liberty and freedom of Finland and the overcome of the red disease.

Cheers

Hello,

just came from holiday and saw the questions concerning the medal bar with the MVK. Here are some more pics and yes...the name is Wilhelm Warnat.

Have fun.

Mikko

Another great medal bar of a German serving in Finland. The extraordinary thing of the medal bar might be that it is unique in a special way: Combination of Finnish medals with the Pour le Merite for NCOs (The Golden Military Merit Cross - Militär-Verdienstkreuz für Unteroffiziere und Mannschaften).

Also the EK1 is existing. Kriegsstammrolle, not to forget

The name is known...a guy who got very old.

Have fun.

Mikko

We should not only focus on WW1 - let us mix a little bit.

Here is sth from WW2 - Christer already mentioned Rudolf Gercke, General der Infanterie. Here is his Finnish set. So if someone is publishing a book about Finnish awards etc - ask me for better pics.
