I`ve had some space in my house, so i decided to buy some bigger portrait pics of imperial guys. Here we have Mr. Leutnant - seems that he was a Waldeck cititzen. The photo was taken in Bad Wildungen. No name... damn. He wears both IC, the Waldeck Ehrenkreuz 4 Klasse and the silvered merit medal with X ???? I know, that only a few hundred of the Ehrenkreuz 4. Kl. were awarded. I think bevor he promoted to Lt. he must have been a NCO Can we ID him ? Thanks!!!

pictures from Freikorps members
ixhs replied to pegasus1831's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
What do we have here? A guy from the schönen Badner`land. A civil pic with a large Ordensspange. I got the pic from the famous Lachmund collection. He wears the IC, Baden SVM, Baden LDAII, Baltenkreuz, Baden LSC15y or Prussian 25y, and 2 Freikorps medals and the IC 1st class, Baltenkreuz 1st class, WB and cross of the Freikorps Awaloff. Look at his cold eyes. I would bet, that he later went to the NSDAP. -
Iron Cross EK (which) Bar/Spange 1870/71 peculiar form
ixhs replied to GreyC's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
You can find those IC on the bar also in early years of WW1. It is not a rare photo. -
Thanks for watching. A few years ago, i got this nice parade mounted Frackbar but ... no name What do we know? The earliest time the bar was made is late 1916 (here i would bet 1917) because of the war aid cross. He also got the Oldenburg houseorder 2nd class with crown, the Oldenburg FA-cross for non combatants and the bavarian Ludwigscross - here we have the magnetic iron version. If i am right the blackened iron pieces were early ones, so he got it may be in 1916 or 17 Seems that he got the non combatanat IC after 1918 - it`s a single mounted one ("pentagonales Band") They were awarded till the earlies 1920s. What about the HO? Was the 2nd class with crown founded in 1905? I think my piece was made by Knauer Oldenburg. Are there rolls out there? ImO the owner of that bar must have been a civil guy may be a Fabrikant, priest, medic or a higher official`s rank. He was a prussian. Thanks for reply.

Got some new pics. Here we have a colonial pic. On the back "Behrens" I have some marine lists and for example i found an Garnisonverwaltungsinsp. Behrens at Tsingtau Verwaltung with the ChD. I think he wears the -MEZ2, DA15 or 25, i can also see the Chinadenkmünze, the Kolonialdenkmünze the Centenial and i think some kind of foreign medal.

Written on 30.12.1925 - on the back "Albin Zimmermann Oberleutnant d. Landwehr.... (?) Landsturm infanterieersatzbtl. Saargemünd XXI./6.

(Claudio) Seems that we have him.... IN the end of 1915 he was Leutnant or Oberleutnant, because of that type of FOIIX The Albrecht I is unusual for that bar. I think in the end of war he was captain or major (RAO4) or marine guy./official
