Another pic (press photo) i got (i do collect pics with IC on it) British war fighters in Berlin are saluting the fallen heros of WW1. Could it be, that the shown guys were members of the B.U.F. ??? I did not know, that british war fighters moved to Berlin in the 1930s. zähringer6.tif

A few years ago i got a large photo konvolut of a IR 124 (Wuertt.) war fighter and Sarge. Today i tried to organize some pics of the konvolut. Only one of the cards / photos was written - i think it was a scottish soldier and in 1914 to his relatives. (see pic) Now my question: Is it possible to ID the captured troops? (Regiment) I think they were captured in 1917 at Riencourt (France). In this time my Sarge was decorated with his golden bravery medal. Thank you for your help. zähringer 7.tif zähringer 8.tif zähringer 9.tif zähringer10.tif zähringer11.tif zähringer14.tif zähringer 13.tif zähringer12.tif zähringer16.tif

I like the bar. Some kind of unusual combination - made in the 1930/40. May be a Blockwart in the NSDAP or another party member. The Vor dem Feinde clasp magnetic or not? The Oldenburger (= northern Germany) often shows -imo- a Navy or Luftwaffe guy.

... sorry....... my brain... i`ve seen this 1914 bar a long time ago by you. ☹️

Yes - yesterday, i drove around in the corners of the net and found it. I m going to get crazy. I`ve never seen a RAO3 with crown and Schleife

? In my opinion the ultimative best imperial non combatant flag ship of 2018 with 13 decorations: https://www.zeige.com/auktionskatalog/Ordensspangen-und-Nachlaesse-Konvolute--4100.html I`d like to have the cash for buying it... ?

Nice pics - are there some good books about uniforms and insignia out there ?

Unfortunately i cannot help you with his name. But i think this foto seems like a veteran`s meeting. # 2 has a really gigantic medal bar!

THANK YOU. Damn - now i have to begin again... but i always learn more and more.. - there are some more IR120 recipients of the GMVM. I am very happy, that the most of the Stuttgart Archive military material survived the last war. Imo. he only could served in the IR120 or UR20 because in his Nachlass there were some shoulder boards of it. (all a Leutnant`s rank) For the UR20 i only had two plausible recipients: von Raßler and Klee Gobert. - Klee Gobert`s bar stays in my collection. He did not get the FOIIX I found some more informations about Schultz in the WAF : http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=869362

unbelieveable. Thanks again. On the painted pic it seems that he´s wearing the ribbons to the IC2nd class and the wuertt. golden bravery medal - on the right you can see the EK1. So i think he`s no recipient for my bar. In most times Subalternoffiziere got the FOIIX bevor/with the golden bravery medal. So it seems, that my guy was an 120er. Are there any informations about Schultz, Bazing and Planck if they got the FOIIX ? Thats the bar i would like to ID. - The wearer must have been a Subalternoffizier. I know that, UR 20 and IR 120 both fought at Ypern. Especially i like the Yperncross with that combat clasp on it. Only ~ 1600 Subalternoffiziere were awarded with the golden medal. Imo. the FOIIX is an early piece which was made in 1914 - latest till the mid of 1916. The bar is a typical version of the 1920s (version of the IC and because of Yperncross/Kyffhäuser) The position of the golden bravery medal is correct - it had an higher rank as the FOIIX. You should move to Germany and serve as an Archivrat (Beamter im höheren Archivdienst) ?

Hi the most rolls are online. I checked them. Was a lot of work. But i cannot find Raßler in the UR 20 - i only found him in the 1914 RL. but without a decoration. I need to know if he got the Friedrich II with X

Top ! Thank you. Yes, the eagle is missing. i did not notice that.

Hi I got some new photos and that´s one of them. What´s the rank of that guy? Fähnrich (Offiziersanwärter)? Why does he have 3 stripes ? I can read a number 5 or a S - is it his regiment? Thanks. zähringer5.tif

new made by a German Collector , Mr.Faruk Cambaz Who says, that Canbaz (no Cambaz) is a faker? He has or had a very nice and big collection of turkish militaria of WW1 and very nice pieces. I would not pay 670 USD for that piece - although it would be an original one.

Nobody any more informations? Especially about "von Gamerschwang"

Nice bar, Homi

Hi ! I need help for a possible identification of a recipient of the wuertt. golden bravery medal. I am looking for infos (which decorations he also got) about -Joseph Raßler (Rasler) von Gammerschwang (auf Weitenburg), (a german baron) Leutnant - he got the wuertt. golden bravery medal on the earliest date (1.11.1914) in Ulanenregiment 20 later he was Rittmeister and died in 1951. and i need infos about some guys of the Wuertt. IR 120 -Bazing Otto Lt. (Golden: 3.5.17) news: At June 1915 to Offizierskurs at Berlin-Döberitz kommandiert, 1919 as Lt. in Gefangenschaft (POW) -Friedrich Planck Lt. (Golden: 1.11.14) as Oberlt. Sept. 1917 in Gefangenschaft (POW) -Schultz Paul, Lt. (Golden: 21.12.14) wounded Juli 1916 10./ and 11./ 120 Thanks.

Hi again, I got some post cards and the shown is one of it . What do we know about the recipient / shown officer? -Oberleutnant (1st Lt.) -Bavarian His bar shows: -IC, bavarian MVK 3rd class with X and crown, Hindycross and 2 Wehrmacht LSM. (4 & 12 years) So the pic must have been taken in 1936 - 39 (no war merit medals like IC or WMC) In WW1 he served as an NCO (Unteroffizier/Vizefeldwebel) In his button it seems that he´s wearing a blood order for the photography - ( because of the ribbon definitely no bavarian bravery medal.) The card was signed. I can read Aicher oder Licher - what do you think? zähringer4.tif zähringer4.tif

Hi again ! For my photo collection i was looking for a guy with a finnish award. (no so easy to find) After a longer look-around i had the luck to find the following guy: On his bar: -EK2, Hamburger Hanseatenkreuz, Bremer Hanseatenkreuz, KuK MVK3 with war decoration and on the last pos. a finnish cross of liberty (???). Now my questions: Which grade do we have here? Is it possible, to ID that guy (Hauptmann - captain) - on the back we have a date and his signature. ("Gutes tuen das ist mein Wille" - sounds like Johanniter) Is he also a Johanniter knight? Thanks. zähringer2.tif zähringer3.tif

A saxon Heinrich guy. Unfortunately i have no pics with a ottoman flight badge, but these 2 guys with -i believe- ottoman uniform: - Genmaj. Artur Bopp (wuertt.) pic was taken 1911 at the Euphrat region - in this time he was LtCol. - Genmaj. Georg Bock von Wülfingen (saxon). pic was taken after 1918.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohenlohe-Zentralarchiv_Neuenstein may be they could help you. Ex flammis orior.

dutch?

Show me a better pic of the Auflagen (devices), please. If they are OK - definitely a high ranking guy.

Thank you very much, again. Yes, a kind of strange guys. I think the pic would be taken in 1919/20 in the upper silesian region and in a hospital. The armshield with the cross seems to be "Grenzschutz Ost".

Hi again. I would have a question to the shown pic. As you know, i do not understand much about uniforms and Uniformteile. Some of that wounded guys are wearing armshields - i can see a black cross on white ground (guy in the last line) The guy in the middle of the front line wears a silvered WB and a ribbon bar to the IC. He also wears an armshield and on his right arm a silvered stripe. What does the stripe mean? Some of the guys are wearing dead heads on their caps. They are looking like the SS ones. Are they from the Eiserne Division? One guy is wearing a MG sharpshooter´s badge. What means the sign ^ (open triangle) on a uniform? Is it a rank? Thanks for help. zähringer 1.tif
