Hi everybody, Here is a very nice photo of Rittmeister Artur Reißig (here on the photo he is still an Oberleutant - one pip on shoulderboard) showing his nice medal bar. The most interresting medal in this bar is the Schwarzburg Ehrenkreuz 3. Kl. Mit X. (SE3X). Indeed only 29 were awarded to Saxon officers during WW1 (12 from Sondershausen and 17 from Rudolstadt). It is possible that Reißig was born in Principality of Schwarzburg (just a supposition like I have not file in my hand). Reißig was born iin 1888, I have no date for his death. His promotion Fähnrich : 1st June 1910 Leutnant : 20 March 1911 Oberleutnant : 16 May 1915 Rittmeister : 17 May 1918 a. D. : 31 March 1920 He received the following medals SV3bX : 23 May 1917, SA3bX : 6 October 1915, EK2 : 27 September 1914, SMK : 8 October 1915 SE3X : 15 January 1915 ÖM3K : ? EK1 : between May 1918 and the end of the war. If someone has more informations about his officer, thanks for your help. Christophe

Agree with Paul. Price for a book should not be a problem. An old collector told me that the knwoledgne is the power. Then you can see with others collector who want to share their collection. And only after that you can buy a good item. Not the contrary. If you buy something that is in fact a fake, you will be disapointed and angry. I can understand. The best book before this one is the Chalif's book. There is one in the sale's section Christophe
