Hello everybody Here is my new EK1 with box. Hallmark WS Christophe

I decided to write to her about the fantasy of the name and I want to know where did she find the name for this combo ? She is truly not an historian and not a collector like us. She probably has found the bar and try to sell to best offer on ebay. But like she can't answered to our questions, nobody should bid on it atfer seeing and reading that. That's my opinion.

Hi, Great collection you have there Congrats Christophe

New photo : Christophe

I have already shown it :

Hi everybody, I would like to start a new topic showing Imperial German ribbon bars with ribbons from Finland. Don't hesitate to show yours New one in my collection : ribbon for iron cross 2nd class, medal of War of Liberty, Medal of Merit, cross of Liberty. Chirstophe

the best thing to do is not to bid on items from this seller. Maybe he will understand. I know I'm dreaming . Christophe

It's again a crime, with Rick, Daniel's book, it is easy to identify the owner of the bar. I refuse to tell him who is he, like he wants to make a lot of profit by destroying this nice bar Christophe

Hi, I haven't find name PITROFF in the Ehrenrangliste 14-18. Are you sure that the name engraved on your pistol is genuine ? Christophe

Hi Daniel, New one for you Hauptmann Emil Steinhoff IR Nr. 344, HHO3X : 27/08/1918 Christophe

Hi David, There is a lot of collectors of Reuß in Germany but who want to spend his time to search and copy all the rolls. We need more people like Daniel to do the research. Then after that, Rick will transcribe them for all of us. Christophe

Matt, I'm not sure that your man belonged to the Party. I think, your man finished the war as a Leutnant or Oberleutnant d. R. he was not in the Reichswehr (there is no LS medals) and he's calling back to Army after 1935, probably as Hauptmann, or Major (see he received the 1938 ribbon. he was not in the first line during WW2, no Winter medal, no claps on EK2. Christophe

Hi JB, There is a little mistake. The Carl Eduard War Cross was awarded 97 times, not the Reuss award. For that one, we don't have rolls, so we don't know how many were awarded during WW1. Christophe

Hi Matt, In the entire Saxon Army, only one unit has got connexion with Reuss Principality of Reuss : the JB Nr. 13. For that we have to see if units has a Chef and who is he. For the Reuss, the unit is JB Nr. 13. For example, if one Saxon officer received the Saxe Weimar knight cross of White Falcon, the probability he is from the Karabiner Regiment is high, like the Great Duke of Saxe Weimar was the Chef of that unit. For your info, here is a photo of Freiherr von Uslar Gleichen, from JB Nr. 13. Note that he wore the Reuss 1st class cross with X. Regards Christophe

Very nice items you find JB Can you tell me if you have some hallmarks on your items and which one please Christophe

Hi Jean-Baptiste, Nice photo indeed ! I have another one with same combo. Christophe
