My wife has found two photos of Oberstleutnant Heygendorff from RIR Nr. 245. Note that he wore only the Saxon war ribbon (SH3, SA3a) on the second button and the E2 and WK3 on the third button Christophe

Hi Rudi, I'm very impressed by your collection, thanks for sharing it with us One question, the buckle is in silver, right ! So is it for Leibgarde unit or for Pionnier and other units? Thanks Christophe

Hi Jason, It is the Prussian IR Nr. 18. Christophe

During WW1, Prussian officers can wear their LS medal just after all their prussian medals (like here indeed). They follow the rules. After the war, and more particulary after 1934, centenary medal and LS medal were worn after the Hindenburg cross (like here). From my old collection, here is one ribbon bar with Prussian rules (all Prussians awards were ahead and before all "foreign" wartime awards

Matt, Terrific group. A very nice Prussian officer group. I think it should be id. For info : BZ3bXEl : 1479 awards SA3aX : 3905 awards We just need time to do this research trouhg Roth's books

Keep your money and try to find a very good one it's the best you can do. Christophe

Crown on RAO ribbon Christophe

Another one Christophe

Here are photos of oak leaves devices I had in my collection

Hi, First it's a pleasant ribbon bar to see. But when I look the back I have a little doubt. Indeed, this type of hook is not usual in WW1 aera. But there is some exceptions. It is possible to have close up of the oak leaves and crowns devices please. About the first one it is the first time I see such device. I will show you some photos of back and devices here is the back with similar hook Christophe

Hi Alex, So it's not Fraunberg, like I see the reverse of the card with date 1944. You may be right about Flöl, I post a photo of him from O'Connor's book t. 5 Christophe

Rudi, I would like to understand why swords were removed from the bar ? Do you know the reason ? Christophe

Oh my GOD So I can imagine you have all classes of this orders now. Do you identify the big medal bar ? Christophe

I made some research and I have found one officer who has got same awards : Oberleutnant Hans Frhr von und zu Fraunberg from FFA 6. He received both SF3bX and SW. Here is one photo of him in 1915, from the O'Connor book t. 5 Christophe

Hello, Merry Christmas to you I see Santa Claus has chosen your house with such beautiful orders. just a joke, where is the case ? Each time you show us your beauties they are with their original case Congrats and thanks for sharing your collection with us Christophe

Hi Alex, Where do you find the name ? I can't find any Flöl who received SF3bX in the Rick Daniel's book. Flöl received the SW in 1917. Christophe

Another photo of the same officer
