Never seen an EKII in this condition, thoughts?

Hi Ravs You are right this cross is stunning. I have never seen such qualities. Congrats my friend. It is from Wilm ? I no longer have the eyes of my twenties. Thanks for sharing it with us Christophe -
Hi In the Franck's above the line book, there is nothing else. He was killed in November 1917. He probably received the Bavarian Military Merit Order 4th class with X like he was born in Munich (Bavaria). It is a assumption. He received the Pilot badge and Ehrenbecher. That's all we have for the moment Christophe

Hi everybody Here is a nice photo of Lt d.L Otto NICKO. His medal bar is very nice. He wore the - St Henry medal in silver, 6 October 1915 - Knight cross 2nd class with X of Albert of Saxe, 6 October 1916 - Cross 4th class with X of Albert of Saxe, 3 July 1915 - Iron cross 2nd class, - War Merit cross 2nd class of Brunswick - Iron cross 1st class As you can see he wore the Adjudant schärpe. Not so bad for a NCO who became officer. During the war only 1389 Crosses 4th class with X were awarded. Only 8 were awarded with knight cross 2nd class with X of Albert of Saxe. Only one officer received both crosses and the Silver St Henry medal of Saxe : our man NICKO Christophe
