Paul C

Thanks Wild Card. It is going to be fun to trace out his career. My earliest RL is 1879. I can track him through the 1880's and 90's. I would like to find a pic of him but the chances are very slim. Once I get his ordensspange in hand I post it.

Thank you very much.

I know this post may not go here but this forum has the most responsive members. I would like to get the death notice for General Werner Kienitz. He died in Hamburg 31 December 1959. I would like to write to a newspaper in Hamburg. Can anyone tell the name of the newspaper in Hamburg Germany that may have had his death notice? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I am researching a Honnoverian General Arnold von Behm 1842-1924. I bought his medalbar but don't have it in my hands. Does any one have his posting information or any pictures? I'll post the bar when I recieve it. Dan Krause did the initial trace.

Thanks Dan. If anyone has additional pics please post them.

Does anyone have any pics of Werner Kienitz? He was a Knight's Cross holder and HOH holder in WWI. If you have a pic and can post it I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I did check and there are no hooks behind the ribbons. I tried to part the ribbons and look and nothing.

I finally recieved from Germany this 5 place Bayern style ribbon bar consisting of: 1914 EK2 MVO MVK Hindenburg Hanseactic or peacetime Red Eagle Order This is strickly a ribbon bar as there are not any hooks for attached medals.

Ho Claudio, Thank you vey much.

I would like to know high bid on the following item numbers 36, 38, 381. Thanks

The book is in the process of being updated and reprinted. It will be expanded and a large format. If you would like to order it go to www.windorepress.com

Claudio, I like your format for the page. Is it in MS Word format? Is it possible to get the file?

Here is a close up of the holes for the Bayern and Sax-Mieningen

Next up is an unusual 5 place bar that is only 10mm high. It has the follow: 1. 1914 EK2 2. Hamburg 3. Hindenburg 4. Wehrmacht LS 5. Wehrmacht LS I have provided a close up of the eagles. Any comments on either bar is appreciated.

First up is a 8 place Imperial and TR bar in the Bayern style with the following: 1. 1914 EK2 2. Bayern MMO or MVO 3. Hessen General Service 4. Sax-Meiningen 5. Hindenburg 6. Long Service? 7. Long Service? 8. Maybe peacetime Red Eagle Order The Bayern ribbon and the Sax ribbon have a hole for a device and the LS ribbons, as best as I can tell do not.

Wild Card. Thank you for your efforts on this matter. This solution serves all parties.

Heiko, I am so very sorry to hear this news! I go to many of the big shows in the USA and will keep an eye out for anything.

Gentlemen, I have tried to refrain from adding my 2 cents here, but I just can't. All people in this discussion have valid points. If I have added to the problem I again apologize. I would like to retun to the purpose of this forum which is to share information and knowledge. Too often, and I am as guilty as anyone, we let our passion get the best of us. I need to remember that this is a hobby. While I enjoy collecting and researching I also value the friends that I have made in the hobby. I need to not lose track of this and remember that this hobby is fun! Last year when I went to Germany I purchased a few medal bars and visited a few people. When I tell people about my trip to Germany I forget to talk about the medals because it was more important to talk about running around Berlin and Potsdam with Daniel and meeting the brother of a U-Boot officer whos dagger I have. How could I replace the enjoyment of meeting a re-enactor dressed like Frederick the Great and having my picture taken with him. This to me is the enjoyment of the hobby. This hobby should be fun. When it becomes a pain in the butt then I am done.

Welcome to the forum. You will find it very helpful and informative.

Item number 43 (11 ribbon bar) has created a stir on the forum here and amoung collectors. When I saw the group I was extremely interested in it due to the research possibilities. I then realized that some of the bars go with other groups that have been sold or are offerred for sale by Thies Auctions. I made an attempt to gather a few interested parties together to help acquire the group and reunite some items. My motivation was: 1. reunite some groups 2. acquire some nice bars My intent was NOT to make a profit or take advantage of oneone. If in my efforts I have created a problem for anyone I apologize. I would like to publicly state that due to the storm that is brewing about this group and the possible legal issues I will NOT bid on this group.

Thanks for the help. I find that while the catalogues are really good they are rather cost prohibitive. The Adobe PDFs of the catalogues are almost as good. I hope they will be available soon.

Anyone know when the next Theis Auction is and when the catalogue PDF will be available?

Does anyone know this ebay seller? If so please PM me.
