Hi,

Very nice ribbon bar. I think it is possible to id the owner of this bar. You need the Bavarian Rangliste between 1907 and 1909 to see which officer have received the MVOX and PKO4X (or RAO4X).

I can see 4 small holes in the China ribbon, so two China's claps has been remowed, too bad.

Good research. I think you can downloaded the Bavarian Ranglisten online. See the Orden und Ehrenzeichen forum and you will probably find them.

Thanks Charles for your comment

Hi everybody

Recently I was lucky enough to buy this nice pair of shoulderboards from an Oberleutnant (probably d. R. or d. L.) from Grenadier Reserve Regiment Nr. 100.

I have not seen a lot in Feldgrau.

Christophe

Your group will be nice with the ribbon bar and the shoulderboards !

Christophe

Hi,

Only four men (in my database) received the SH3, SA3bX EK2

Only one has the same combo, and three others have received EK1

only EK2 :

- Lt d.R. Georg Dietrich (1895-1917)

with EK1

- Lt d.R. Artur Emil Bauer (1895 - ??)

- Lt Jakob von Hartsen (1891-1916)

- Lt Egbert Kühn (1887 - 1915).

congrats. You have a very nice group. Thanks for sharing it with us

I always speculated Husar on the extreme left to be FrHr v Fritsch..... seems to fit

Would anyone have his Date of Birth and Date of Death?

 

Hi Elwyn

von Fritsch was born on 7 November1870 and died on 30 November 1945.

Christophe

Hi Charles

good news

Only two officers wore the same combo

OSA d.L. a. D. Dr Böfinger Arthur

H d.L. Mauthe Friedrich from FAR 65

Christophe

Dear Daniel, I am very interessted in Georg Wetzell's awards, do you happen to have a complete list? Especially WW I decorations? Thank you!

Daniel, I'll take my request back, just found a nice list. Will show it later, maybe you can look over it and make corrections?!

I have moved this to a new topic. It is not appropriate in the ribbon bar's topic

Christoph

Hi Charles

Is it this one ?

Christophe

Hi

After many years of research, I have finally finished this medal bar

Christophe

Hi David,

There is no problem with the combo. It is not a man who served in the trenches. Here it is probably a man who worked behind a desk.

Christophe

Hi Lucky

to be honest, I don't like how it is mount on the back. Even if the medals are genuine, I won't buy it

Christophe

Hi,

He wore the Friedrich August Cross 1st class, the Brunswick KVK 1st class and the wound badge in black (I guess)

Christophe

Hi

Here is photo of Leutnant Fritz Richard from IR 134

Christophe

Hi everybody

After many years of research, I have found all medals to go with this nice medal bar.

Christophe

Thanks Elwyn,

Have you got the name of the General who is at the left of the King FA of Saxe ?

Thanks

Christophe

Yet another first name: Lt Hermann Bartels (Hannover), from RIR 73

 

From Kriegs-Zeitung der Jugendwehr Borkum, Mai 1919

 

 

Hi,

it is the first time I heard that the Hohenzollern were awarded after the war. Great info then

Christophe

Thanks Charles

Hi,

the green colour is gone, it must represent the Luitpold medal of 1905. Not sure at all, but it's an idea

Christophe

Hi

Over the years I managed to reunite a lot of photos from this unit LIR 133.

The photos come from the collection of Oberleutnant d.R. Kurt Lüder. Between parade, regimental life and others, we have a good overview of the life at that time.

There must be more photos, but it took me more than ten years to get them all together.

I am still trying to identify some of the names so I can add them to the post later.

Enjoy

Christophe

What a beauty. congrats

Veeeerrry nice... does it have a name to it?

Hi, nice! do you know how he got that combination?

Hi Chris

 Not one name but two. Indeed, this combo is not unique (too bad). 

- Leutnant d.R. Fritz Berthold from LIR 103 (died in 1916)

- Leutnant d.R. Arnold Landgrebe from RIR 101 (died in 1916)

Both officers were born in Gera that explain why they received the RE3X
