Finally found Falke's medal bar and reunited with the rest of the documents and pictures... Someone told me that also his civilian tuxedo bar (Frankspange) is around in Germany, lying in a collection without the knowledge of the current owner about the wearer's name. On the bar there is no Hamburg Hansakreuz, like on Falke's ribbon bar or miniature chain, but I didn't find any documents confirming his bestowal of such cross. I think he was a bit naughty, wearing a cross he didn't actually formally and officially get... But at least he didn't have the guts to wear it on his full scale medal bars... Enjoy the pictures.... (The HHOX is a Godet's Spangenstück, with a flat reverse, but with the typical Godet's rivets) C

A special one being sold on the next Thies' auction... "mit Brillianten"... ;-) Eine Sonderform des Kreuzes mit Brillianten wurde nur einmal an den Kommandanten des 6. Thüringischen Infantrie-Regiments Nr. 95, Oberst von Selle, verliehen. Der Herzog selbst besaß auch ein Exemplar. http://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/deutsche-staaten/carl-eduard-kriegskreuz.html https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_von_Selle Interesting thread about pictures of von Selle, posted by Christophe. http://gmic.co.uk/topic/19338-oberst-von-selle/ Ciao, C

"Official" Iron Cross
Claudio replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
It's a functionary military officer... Militärbeamter. C -
Dear forumites, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Krafft_von_Dellmensingen https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Krafft_von_Dellmensingen I'd like to show some pictures I have taken at the the Festung Tilly in Ingolstadt (Bayerisches Armeemuseum https://www.armeemuseum.de/de/). Very interesting and complete group of a Bavarian WWI general... lots of interesting information about his career, family and insights into the struggle for power within the Oberkommando des Heeres and its military and strategic implications. I would warmly suggest a visit at the castle of Ingolstadt. Right now there's still a great exhibition about "Napoleon and Bayern"... well done, with a lot of historical insights and also objects of historically very important provenance (Napoleon, his wife Josephine, of the Wittelsbacher Dynasty, etc...). Unfortunately the exhibition finishes in October (now). Enjoy the pictures. ciao, Claudio
