A leutnant in the Firemen and after 1933

Hello Nihil sine Deo, of the text you have posted emerges clearly that the grade of Grand Officer was awarded to the President / Presidents of the Legislative Corporations , thats reduce the search to those who presided the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies from 1933 onwards , well I am not sure if the Legislative Corps survived in Romania after the Abdication of King Carol II in 1940. 

Ordinul vulturul Romaniei ,placa Mare Cruce . the eagle appears to be gilded silver , rare , the only pic I saw has a silver eagle .

Der Loewe von Flandern ! 

03 fahnen ,Sevitore !

Perhaps Hermann Historica is in position of contact you with the Family of Dr von Niedner 

I believe that the officers of the German States with Militaerkonvention with Prussia weared Prussian Passants and silver flecked with black shoulder boards. I am referring to those States that have either a unique Regiment or only a Bataillon into a Prussian regiment, Mecklenburg was apart , Brunswick too , your collection of original samples is great

Servitore !

Ceinturon pour oficieres de L Aeronautique Militaire Model of 1923 . made of black silk or black mohair , the head of Medusa on the double buckle was the regulation with a non regulation adition , the wings over the head of Medusa . this dress belt was used with the uniform M1923 in Gris de Fer Bleute Colour . Bluish Irongrey . with the Louise Blue uniform of the Armee de L Air this belt was discontinued

Hello, the man with uniform on the first pic is a Italian Officer . the great bursting grenade on his cap and the double pointed fiamma on his collar says a Bersagliere ( Light Infantry  ) the rank ? the lace on the cap band and what is visible on the cuff suggests a Lt Colonel or Full Colonel. the model of the tunic is the M1934 . The man on the second pic wears what looks as a British Army tunic with rank badges on the cuffs (pre WW1 or WW1 ) the two stripes and three pips of a Captain . the buttons are not plain but is hard to say inclusive with magnification which badge is on relief over the buttons, the lenght of the tunic is unusual and is evident that was tailored for a taller and thicker man that the one wearing it

Elmar , Oberbefehlshaber  was that i read and not Oberstinhaber 

Triadoro , your statement is agressive and a much pompous ,i renounce to continue in this topic 

Remember to search first among the Vogel von Falkenstein , Falkenhayn , Falkenhausen, Falkenberg, Falkenhorst , Falkenstein , etc

Your Medalia meritul comercial si industrial is of the pattern instituted in 1912 (King Carol I ) and conceded until 1945.  the Swedish recipient was probably a civilian involved with the Armament Industry 

Simius , Luddendorf was in his late years a German pagan , he throw away every Christian credence and adopted the Paganism of the old Germans. he was influenced strongly by Mathilde von Kemnitz his second wife , Mathilde Luddendorf was a leading figure of the Volkisch movement. About luddendorf 70 birthday the famous surgeon Ferdinand Sauerbruch wrote that he was congratulating the General with a bunch of friends and suddenly arrived Hitler, after a brief salutation the Fuhrer said , Herr General I decided to nominate you Field Marshall here is the diplom, Luddendorf answered : Herr Hitler , one not nominate a Feldmarschall during Peace and less when he is in his home taking cofee and fruit cake with wife and friends !

The Romanian badge for Paratroopers is quite diferent, basically a winged cockade in the National colours topped with a enameled parachute , the wings in silver , it was carried on the left breast above the breast pocket of the tunic and not straight but angled .

My Pleasure !

Hello Trevor, the shield on the langet looks as a coat of arms , the bird on it says Falke ( Falcon ) or some name related as Falkenhayn , Falkenstein , Falkenhorst, Falkenberg and so on

Its a  tunic of the Aeronautique Militaire , for a Lt Colonel and the shoulder tabs (passants ) are for the use of Dress Epaulettes behind . the winged 5 points star on the collar patch denotes a Pilot . Iam inclined to believe that your tunic was used during the WW1 or perhaps until 1923 when the new uniform for the Aeronautique was reglamented , a uniform that was grey blue in colour , darker than the Bleu Horizon . the Louise Bleu uniform for Officers was reglamented in 1928, six years before the transformation of the Aeronautique in the Armee de L Air . 

von Mudra passed his Abitur in 1870, then entered as Freiwillige in the Prussian Pioneer  troops 

Hello, your data about Scheer is more accurate . Regarding the date, i tought in the Kieler Woche of course not that of 1914, Franz Ferdinand was murdered precisely during the Kiel Week of these year and the Kaiser was noticed on board of his race yacht .     Another option is a visit of William II to the Austro Hungarian Heir in the Island of Brioni ( Istria ) today Brijuni .where Franz Ferdinand uses to go in holidays
