I have a ribbon bar with EK2, BMVO4bX, SMK and LK. Like there is no Bavarian list for officers under grade of Captain, I can not id the owner of this bar About the first bar shown here, like the swords are in silver, how can it be id as a NCO ribbon bar ? Christophe

Hi Dan, Great group you have there, congrats Christophe

Hi Dan, Great group you have there, congrats Christophe

Hi Timo, Very nice ribbon bars you find there. congrats Too bad that you don't have the big one. This one is very nice and I particulary like the silver crown on the Oldenburg ribbon. This is not necessary a Navy officer but it will be interresting to do some research to id this bar. Christophe

Hi Jason, You are right. I'm looking for a very nice medal bar too. I hope one day Christophe

Jason, Here is the ISBN number about the Geile's Hohenzollern book : ISBN 3-932543-03-3, PHV Phaleristicher Verlag Michael Autengruber, Schillstraße 7B, 63067 OFFENBACH AM MAIN DEUTSCHLAND Christophe

Hi, Like Saschaw said, it's a fake ribbon bar. It's interesting to note that the fake use a device usually seen for the Crown Order 4th cl with X and not on the Hohenzollern device. So with this indication, we have to see a colonial ribbon (China or Africa) and here there is nothing. So, again there is a problem. Rick R has made some photos about good and fake runes on ribbons. Don't forget to see his work. Christophe

Hi Rudi, Like always you have an awesone collection. Incredible medal with its box For my information, do you know how many medal has been awarded ? Thanks Christophe

Hi, Daniel Krause is working on a list. It's not an easy job. Willi Geile has written a book about the Hohenzollern knight cross and there is 7233 names on it. It is available on Autengruber's website. Do you have a photo of your officer to show ? Thanks Christophe
