Focus on ribbon bar. I can't id clearly the 6th ribbon. First I thought to Hamburg Hanseaten cross but Gustav Reich never received it. Then I thought to Silesian Eagle 2nd class. But why it is before the Austrian ribbon ? Christophe

Hello everybody, here is another nice photo with a very interresting ribbon bar. I can't read the name, but it is probably Gustave Reich Her received the HHO3X, WMVO3, WF3aX, BZ3bX mi El, ?M3K. Many thanks to help me to id it correctly. Christophe

Hi, If you want s very interresting book about Sturmtruppen, you have to buy the following one : LARCADE (Jean-Louis), Deutsche Sturmtruppen, troupes d'assaut allemandes 1914-1918, Edition des ARgonautes, 2002, isbn : 2-9515172-2-2 Regards Christophe

Hi, Rick has right, I have got the same book and like it is a pocket version it is easier to take it to military show. Witht this book, when I was young I could have found some treasure. Christophe

Hi everybody, Like you know I try to reunite a lot of items from Thuringian States. I hope that one day with all photos and items I can write one article about those States. Of course Neal o'Connor has done it in english but I want to make one in French, of course, or in German. This is why I buy all photos and items I can find I'm still looking for very good photos and items, so if someone has something to sell or trade don't hesitate to pm me. Thanks Regards Christophe

Great news, of course it will interrest serious collectors Christophe

And the rarest document I have, the miniature document of Freikorps Maercker, have a look. Christophe

Jordan Kriegsrangliste

You are right Rick, this bar belonged to Otto Jordan. He received dht Brunswick knight cross on January, the 15th 1914 for working at the Brunswick court. I have a lot of papers from Otto Jordan but only two are missing, his Hohenzollern document and his Brunswick too . here is a photo of Otto Jordan (at left with its cigar)

Thanks for your comments and welcome on board Christophe
