Deruelle

I have taken from the O'Connor's book another citation from Althaus where mistake is again present. I have a very good feeling with von der Schulenburg for the photo, but as soon as I have not find another photo of him with different face, I continue to think it's my man, without offense to everyone of course. Christophe

Hi, From the vol. 3 of Aviation awards of the Imperial Germany, Kingdom of Saxe by Neal O'Connor the citationof vond er Schulenburg. This officer has received it during his time in aviation unit as an obserer. Concerning the date in the Daniel/Rick's book, sometimes mistakes have been made and in the citation here for the St Henry they quote the aviation unit and we were in 1916 and for the EH3bX the citation quotes his first unit, the HR 18. Christophe

Hi, Here is a photo to illustrate the Liberation War commemorative medal. Christophe

Hi Andreas, Have you got informations about Merit Order with swords on ring ? Christophe

No one knows Here is the answer : Hauptmann Erich von Loßnitzer Christophe

Hi, After some research, it appears that his name is not mentionned on the Rick-Daniel's book about Ernestine Orders during WW1. Therefore the photo shows proof of its existence. And like he was captain during the war he received the first class with swords. I hope that this clue will help you to find the name of this officer. Good luck Christophe

Some close up Christophe

Hi everybody, Here is a new photo. I think that Alex will find him in a few minutes. so if he can let others collectors play before giving answer it will be great. Good luck Christophe

Hi Christer, I'm very impressed by your finnish collection Congrats. I hope you can show us more beauties in the future. Thanks for showing your collection to us. Christophe

Hi guys, It is possible for you to make close up of the hallmarks I can see on your medals please. And if you know, just tell us who are the jewelers, thanks. Christophe

Hi Very interresting topic there. So if I see, over 100000 crosses were awarded but do we know how many went to German ? I have just begun to read books about this aera and I have not seen how many german were present in Finnland in 1918/1919. In the other topic I show the ribbon bar from Rittmeister Walther von Ehrenkrook. he received the Liberation War medal on 24 May 1918. The same date, twelve others officers received the same cross.

New photo Großherzog von Baden visited the Saxon IR Nr. 103 in Vieux les Asfeld Christophe

Hi, Sorry for my ignorance, but how many EK1 like that were made during WW1. For me, I can understand that an EK1 with name written on the back, and not a Müller or unknown officer, can be expensive but 1200 euros I don't understand. Thanks for your explanation Christophe

Hi Alex, For info, here is the date of the EH3bX for von der Schulenburg, on page 68 from the Rick, Daniel's book for : Verleihungen von militärischen Orden und Ehrenzeichen der Ernstinischen Herzogtümer Sachsen Altenburg, Sachsen Coburg Gotha und Sachsen Meiningenim 1914-1918. I have writen the date for another man, sorry, here is the good date. Malortie has never received the BrK2, so it can't be him and I'm not sure he received the ÖM3K too. When I will receive the photo I will take good close up, if possible, of the medal bar. Christophe

Hi Rudi, Great medal, the details are perfect. Do you know the occasion of the receipt of this medal ? So I see you don't collect only Hessian medals ? Christophe

Hi Alex, For me the Wurttemberg medla is the second class not the first, I can't see enameled. The EH3bX has been awarded on 9 July 1917. He was member of the Reichswehr, but when you look at his medals, there is no Wurttemberg medal and no Observer badge. This is the only combo possible. Neal O'Connor had not find the date for the Schulenburg's Brunswick medal, and it was finally in the historical regiment unit. Christophe

Hi everybody, here is the name : Leutnant Achatz Graf von der Schulenburg Christophe

Simply awesome Rudi, again a great find. Congrats I think it's time for you to show in a special topic all your Hessian medals from small to higher grade. What to you think about this ? And if you have data for all awards put them with each medal. I think you can open a museum with all your hessian colleciton Christophe

It could be Suwalki but it doesn't match with Baden unit. So it can be this town. . We have to wait for some experts, bon shopping et bon courage Christophe

Suwalki is a small town in Poland so it can match but which unit was there at this time ? I try to find in books, I'll be back (I like to say that Christophe

I try to find a match without reading the name. I try with BV3 connection. I guess see two pips on shoulderboards. Few days before this meeting, oberst hermann von Brandehrens received BV3 on 19 June 1916. We need expert on Süterlin to decrypt the name Christophe
