Hi everybody I have a pair on officer shoulder board from Jäger Bataillon 13. The number is unique in the German Army (as you can see on the photos). A friend give me the authorization to publish his pair of Epaulette from JB 13. I'm interesting to know when this particularity was adopted. I can't find this information. Thanks for your help. Don't hesitate to show yours Christophe

Chuck, This kind of SH was from the 1807-1815 area. If it is a commander cross, only 11 were awarded at this aera. Congrats. And again, what a beauty Christophe

Hi Peter, Very nice medals. It is possible to have close up of the SH please .Thanks @Charles. Your collection is amazing. Many thanks for sharing it with us

Hi Graham, The maker of this cross is Osang. To be honest, I have a problem with the back of the crown. the top of the crown should be full and not hollow like your copy. A friend give me the authorization to post his copy. Christophe

Amazing Chris. Can we see the inside of the Feldbinde please ? Which colour is inside ?

Thanks Dave, I have updated my post.

I used the work of the late Ehrard Roth and other published rolls. Thanks for giving me his date of death. Christophe

Hi Do you know if the Austrian awards rolls are published ? I'm interested to buy the books.

Hi Matt Adolf Motsch received the Ehrenkreuz 3. Kl. mit Scwertern (The Princely Honour cross of Hohenzollern)on 8 August 1917. This is not the House Order of the Hohenzollern. The Chief of the FR 40 was the Prince Wilhelm of Hohenzollern Christophe

Many Thanks Dave. Much appreciate Christophe

Hello everybody I have this photo since several years. I try, without success, to find the name of this officer. Thanks for your help. He served in the Saxon Karabiner Regiment, whose Chief is Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe Weimar (explain the SF3bX). He received the Anhalt Friedrich cross 2nd class (that's the clue for me). Thanks for your help Christophe

Many Thanks Bernd. Much appreciate. I'm looking for Saxon Rangliste from 1913 in pdf. so if someone has it, it would be nice. I have the other from 1900 to 1914 Christophe

Many thanks to all

Hi everybody The research still goes on. Now about Saxon orders I have found for : - St Henry knight cross : 2739 names (Roth gave 2729 names) - Merit Order knight cross 1st class with X : 435 names (Roth gave 416 names). - Merit Order knight cross 2nd class with X : 1873 names (Roth gave 1833 names) Christophe

Many thanks. I don't find this name in the unit (Jäg Btn 13). It is difficult to read. I'm working on the Verlustliste of Jäg Btn 13 et RJB 13. It's not easy at all Christophe

Hi, I have another name to decypher .Thanks for your help Leutnant JB 13. Diend ln 15 March 1917 Christophe
