The bravery medal is doubtless a 100% copy. The medal bar is ok.

Meanwhile I was happy to get the rest of the documents from another collector. I also found out that the IC document was signed by Oberst BETHE who was the comander of the police troups in SW-Africa, he was also there in 1915 when the German troops surrendered. The policemen were interned in SW-Africa together with the German soldiers. Bethe was released! Following now the pics of the document group:

No, MVO 3 is GOLD! Only crosses awarded between 1917 until the end of WW1 were silver gilt. And not ONE MVO 3rd class WITHOUT swords was made in silver gilt.

You will never find "Deutschland" on any items. It had to be "Germany", and so it is still today. It means "Made in ...". -

That's true, whenever i tendered by mail I was not the high bidder in most cases. On the other hand I sometimes paid prices which were much too high when I was at the auction in person. By the way, congratulaions for the miniature chain!!!
-
Right, absolutely crazy, I won nothing although my bids were much higher than the prices I would have paid one year ago. Where does all this end?
-
As far as I know the were interned in South-West-Africa together w the remaining soldiers and a lot of German civilians. But I have asked a specialist for the German African police and will hopefully know more soon, I will keep you informed.

Just talked to Mr. Thies, results will be in the net today in the evening (MEZ).
-
I guess we'll have it on Wednesday or Thursday.

Medal bar from Oberstleutnant Ernst von R?cker, the only Bavarian officer who got the Z?hringer Lion Knights cross 1st class with oakleaves and swords, 1 of 139 officers in total.
-
If it is real gold price is OK.
-
Right, doubtless 100% 1st class. Worth about US$ 600 - 700, a 2nd class about US$ 250 - 300. 1st class was awarded about 525 times in WW1, 2nd class 6367 awards.
-
For a police NCO in the German colony in South West Africa.
-
No chance to tell a price w/o pics!
-
I guess he had no chance to win any other awards except the medals on his tunic, finished oberver training in June 1918, killed in action in October 1918.
-
May it was this officer: Walter, Ludwig born 20.12.1894 in Engelstadt, DIA 02.10.1918 Ballay Leutnant d. R. Beobachter Flieger Abteilung A 225.
