Photo of Oberst Karl Brück

Hi, Here is an interresting photo of King Friedrich August from Saxe giving Orders to Wurttemberger officers. The medal : knigh cross 1st cl with X of Albert Date : 20 July 1917 The first officer to receive it is the OberstleutnantHermann von Brandenstein from IR Nr. 121 He received later the Crown to his Albert knight cross. Christophe

Thanks Matt, note that the crown and swords device is in silver. A real gem. Hi JB, nice display. I like a lot the purple ribbon of the Reuss peacetime medal. You need to buy some Ehrenkreuz peacetime this time Christophe

hi, there is a thread inwhich abreviations are explain. But for my own part I prefer using abreviations used by the Reichswehr Rangliste than the pre-war abreviations. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/798-common-abreviations-for-imperial-medals-orders/ Christophe

Thanks Dave. About Hünlich, it is our man, the birth's date is the same. I appreciate. Christophe

Sascha, You are right about Reichswehr RL. This combo is unique. If ound the name of the owner of the bar. For me only one officer in the Reichswehr wore such combo. I have forgotten to see in those books. Years ago I have made research about majors orders in the RL 1925. Now each important orders has been classified and it is easy to make research. I have just need to think about my work Christophe

Hi Timo, Nice combo here. Congrats. it is true that the pin system is strange Christophe

Hi, The only roll available is for the Waldeck order. Till the other one are not done it will be difficult to put a name on it, too bad Christophe

Hello, Can you explain please ? Christophe

Hi PK it is true that some Austrian makders used star as hallmarck. SOme were seen on Austrian cross of the Iron and on Military Merit Order 3rd class. It's the first time for me to see an Austrian maker for the Gallipoli star. Thanks for sharing it with us Christophe

Hi everybody, I know it's an old thread but it's very interresting. Here Dave is talking only about infantery unit. But what for the others units. I have an example. Oberstleutnant Karl Brück received the centenary medal in 1897 when he was Oberleutnant in FAR Nr. 28. This unit belonged to 23. Feld Art Brigade (with FAR Nr. 12 and FAR Nr. 48). I have just seen this in the Saxon RL from 1901. It would be interresting to see now which unit received this medal. Christophe

Thanks for the info Christophe

I forgot that photo. Note that the first officer at the left has got the War Merit Cross of Reuß. Christophe

Thanks a lot, but I'm not a pure Reuß collector. I've bought all those items because there is connection with Kingdom of Saxe. But, with time I can say now that I like to collect orders from that State. Christophe

Hi everybody, I'm looking for information about those officers. Both are from KS IR Nr. 102. Both received the same orders from WW1 : SH3, SV3bX, SA3bX, BMVO4bX and both EK. Both survived the war. Noack finished as Hauptmann a. D. But what's happened after WW1. Thanks for your help Christophe

Hello, Impressive minis you have there Wild Card. Tell me where do you find such beauties ? I have never seen a combo like this. Thanks for sharing these gems with us Christophe

What a price, I though that the iron cross is sold with the paper, but not. A little overprice for me. that's my opinion. Christophe

Hi, About the Saxon Frackspange, you are right. Several years ago I saw the medal, ribbon bar and Frackspange sold separatly on ebay. I missed the medal bar and the Frackspange. But by chance one of my friend has bought it and decided to sell it to me. I Have just to rebuilt it to be complete. But I have no idea where the medal bar is now. Just to say that both medal and ribbon bar have the same combo. I have saved the photo, here is from my database Christophe

Thanks Dave for adding new informations . If only the others Archives were like Bavarian one Christophe

Last one for the moment : Ribbon bar from Major Hermann Keil with Ehrenkreuz 3. Kl. m.X u. Kr. Christophe
