There are some We pieces which are also stamped with a sign which looks like a "Eichel". -

The unknown marker we stamped also the eyelet -
I got it from his relatives. They live in the Westphalen region. I got it over a auction house in 2014. He was born in Northern Württemberg. Yes all of his awards were listed in his Wehrpass He got the medal on 21.12.1917 for Tapferkeit vor dem Feinde. (9./122) And here we have another württemberg superman - medic sarge Johann Jakob Bantel I got this litte group from a collector`s friend in Baden. He got his golden MMM in 1916 as he rescued 4 wounded soldiers in heavy british fire on the western front. Unfortunately his awards were gone in all over that years. So i added a new bar with his awards on it. The golden MMM is a private purchased version made of gilded bronce. They were made in the Weimar era (Zweitstück). This bar has the rare golden oakleafes on it.

RIP Hauptmann Schmidt. Hope, over there, there are also some of you favourite Reyno menthol cigaretts. Richard von Weizäcker had also some WW2 awards.

Here we have it. The Wilhelmskreuz is the version with "Für Kriegsverdienst". So i think not a civilian. It also could be a higher rank, because all the medals are given "ohne Rücksicht auf Rang und Stellung". What do we know about him? No centenar 1897 no LSM/LSC so a younger guy., seems that he was prussian or bavarian (pos. 3 bavarian medal) He was not a member of the War department, because the WK is a version without swords. I think he was still alive in 1935.

I have the Brunswick Staatshandbuch of 1915 There are different regulations between non combatant and combatant awards. So for example the most of the officials in the war departments got the IC on combatant ribbon or other awards with X but they were never on the frontline. He could be an official or a civilian
