    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 2 new photos i got.

      1.) written in winter 1917/18 in Mitau, he signed with Julius. I think on the front it is hin unreadable name.

      He wears the IC 1st class and the Lippe-Detmold Kriegsehrenkreuz für heldenmütige Tat (ca. 740 awards)

      2.) A nice new non combatant grandpa. Written on 30.12.1925 - on the back "Albin Zimmermann Oberleutnant d. Landwehr.... (?) Landsturm

      infanterieersatzbtl. Saargemünd XXI./6. Magdeburg (seems that he was born 31.10.1857)

      One more for my 1914 non combatant pic collection :D

      What about that guy. (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

       

       

    6. I got a few new pics/Postcards - here are three of them:

      Does somebody know their names or which decorations they got?

      -Württemberg Hauptmann i think RIR 120 (Schulterklappen) with IC2, WMMO, bav. MMO 4 with X

      -Major Vatke (Ratke, Datke?) RIR 219 II. Bat. (datet 1916, Russia)

      -unknown Major i think IR 202 (Schulterklappen) with IC,  on the back "our Major". I think he was a veteran of 1870.

      What is his name? Did he get more decorations?
