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

Hi I have found one photo of him Christophe

This is normal, the breast star is like I said above for the commander class 1st class with X. There is nothing happened with the knight cross with crown without swords. Christophe

Hi, What a nice cross you have there. A very nice gold-plated silver cross from Scharffenberg. Only 695 crosses were awarded till 1914. Major Oyagi Kumataro received it on 6 May 1911 The star is very nice too. It is for the commander cross 1st class with swords Congrats Christophe

Hi the diploma of the knight's cross with swords of the hohenzollern house of Leutnant Prahl is on 5th September 1918. Geile gave the date in October 1918. Christophe

Hi Sandro Here is copy of OMM 72 Christophe .../...

Hi to be honest I hate to see someone destroying part of history to make a profit. I spend so many years and money to reunite items, medals and papers from same person to see that. I can't understand. We can do anything to avoid this. as it is my collection theme, I will try to reunite the album. Christophe

Hi, Dave Danner has already put the name of Kurt Peltzer on his Baden list ?. See below https://www.deutsche-gesellschaft-fuer-ordenskunde.de/DGOWP/links/verleihungslisten/baden/ Christophe

Hi Graham, Thanks. In Jacob's book there is a ZIECH who lived in Berlin, is it yours ? ZESCH in Stuttgart ZUBER in Pforzheim That's all I have Christophe

Hi Hauptmann Alfred Wilhelm von Rosenberg Gruszczynski received the HOH3X on 24 November 1917. In the Geile's book it is in december 1917 Christophe

Hi everybody Today I have received this nice box for iron cross 2nd class from 1914. I appreciate your comments Christophe

Hi everybody I have this iron cross since a while and I have never seen if there is an hallmark. I can see one Z on the ring. Can you tell me which jeweler has made it. I have found some in the Jacob's book, but no one has made the iron cross. thanks for your help Christophe

Hi Graham What a beauty. Not easy to find. 8500 crosses were awarded during WW1. Congrats Christophe

He has probably received ÖM3K . I have not seen the cross as a commander cross on the photo. Three men received the CKmBr the last one is the Czar of Bulgaria

Here is the cross with Brilliants from Thies auction Nr. 60 from June 2016 Christophe

Thanks Chris, I don't remember seeing such box since a while. Here is the cross which were in the case when I bought it Christophe

Hi Fritz von Selle received the Card Eduard War Cross on 19 July 1916. Von Selle received the Pour le Mérite Order on 6 January 1918, after that the Duke Carl Eduard gave Oberst von Selle the Brillants to the cross in 1918. Years ago Andreas Thies sold the Carl Eduard War Cross with Brillants and its original box in one of his auction. Christophe

Hi everybody I have this box since several years and it is this weekend I have taken photos and see that the inscription has the date 1914/15. What do you think about it ? Thanks for your comment. I show only the box, I have the cross to go with it. Christophe

Hi Daniel, Great bar, congrats. Is it possible to know the date on the CM2X claps please ? Thanks Christophe

Hi A very nice knight cross 2nd class with X of Zähringen Order. For me one of the most beautiful cross. Congrats Christophe

Very nice combo with Turkish ribbons. For me the man who received this bar finished the war as an NCO. He probably became an officer after 1935. I like the Liakat ribbon. I have never had a ribbon bar with ribbon. I only had one ribbon bar with Imtiaz ribbon Christophe

Hi It is not easy to find such good item on ebay. Before biding, read the article of Andreas (medalnet) here about the design of the Eagle http://www.medalnet.net/Eagle_Design.htm Only after that and after reading information about the good or bad Red Eagle Order, you can bid or not. Christophe

Hi Very nice ribbon bar. I lie a lot the silver swords. They are impressive. Congrats Christophe

Alfred Jahn from IR 134 He received the following medals knight cross of St Henry of Saxe on 27 November 1916 knight cross 2nd class with X of Albert of Saxe on 19 october 1915 iron cross 2nd class on 10 July 1915 Cross of Honor 3rd class with X of Reuß on 4 October 1915 Cross 3rd class with X of Princely Hohenzollern on 2 May 1918 Christophe
