He served in the Bavarian Reserve Infanterie Regiment 16 and the Bavarian Infanterie Regiment 2. His civil profession was baker. Adolf Hitler also served in the RIR 16 and I guess he is on the photograph (1st from left). Very interesting!

Uwe, sorry but I have not made pics of all the Bavarian firemen medals I owned in the past.
-
The 1914 Iron Cross was an officers award for Austrians, this is an EM/NCO bar.
-
There is no proof for a helmet design change in the statues. About half a million medals were made in different materials by different makers. This is the only admissable expalanation one can have for differences in helmet type.

Red ribbons were for professional fire men. Most bigger towns in Bavaria had professional fire briagdes, in small towns were (semi-) volunteer fire brigades which means that young man had to join these brigades, otherwise they had to pay kind of special tax.

The Bavarian 25 years long service medal was awarded 360.000 times between 1920 and 1936.

I also agree with Alex.

Most probably a shooting medal because of the target in the medal center.

20 Euros.

Opened on setup day, Friday 9th, for public at 13:00 for a higher entrance fee.

There are still many around and so far no fakes made, not ot 3rd classes. Early war case. Doubtless original set.

Hard to estimate when you have it not in hands, so far questionable.

Thx for all the congratulations. Although 1282 medals were awarded in WW1 medal bars and medals do not appear very often. One gets at least 10 Bavarian bravery medals ( about 998 awards) before one can find a Baden medal.

I will get the information soon and will post it then.

I do not so far, maybe it is still in the family, they will search for it.

and the backside:

I got that beauty out of winners familiy today. Winner was Robert Wolf, GR 110, March 3rd 1916.
-
I am sure that most medals were missing and replaced sometimes. A really bad look and a much too high sales price.
-
I would guess following: -Liyakat medal in Gold -Imtiyaz medaL in silver -Horp Madalyasi (Galipoli star or Eiserner Halbmond) -Life saving medal -?? -Austrian merit cross in silver (silver oakleaf??) or Franz-Joseph-order

Yeah it was funny and riskless as both bidders know who the owner is. The "seller" sent emails hourly to the high bidder about payment and a meeting point and all details. It wa so funny I was close to piss myself. :cheers: :cheers:
