I agree, we must see pictures in order to give a good answer.

Fake in my opinion.

I've never seen one like this, rarely do we know the reason for the awarding of an EK2 as well. Interesting document!

Congratulations for that attributed bar! It's a beauty with its history!

I do like the set a lot!

How the silk ribbon of the Iron Cross is worn where the ring is located, tells us already a lot of how long this set has been together  

Nice postcard, I suppose the ground is covered in snow?  

There seems to be a lot of variations!

Looks like a Gustav Brehmer (13).

Looks like a wartime piece in my eyes with the 11 O'clock flaw, even if how the difference by a post war cross by Souval and a War time one determined is some real Pseudo-Science.

Hi, here is the page and I helped you with the links where his two wounds are listed in the casualty lists.

The Grand crosses shown are fakes and I hope she can get a refund.

The pass is quite interesting, he first saw frontline duty in (Bayr) R.I.R.16 from mid 1915 onwards until he got in mid 1917 a transfer to I.R.2 after recovering from his wounds he sustained at the Somme.

He was wounded 17.7.1916 at Fromelles.

After recovery he was sent to the Somme and was wounded 12.10.1916 at La Barque (7 days after Adolf Hitler was wounded).

Recipient of the E.K.2.



Reason I post first the picture of his transfers is that it was not obvious on the sales description neither the stamps he served in RIR 16 the majority of his war, but is clearly visible in his transfers and wounds as well in his combat chronicle from RIR 16.

The entries seem to be mainly from the time he was in I.R.2. by the looks of the dates when the entries have been written.

The words of Commandant Lassard are fitting; Very very very nice

I got myself last week a Militärpaß from (Bayr.) R.I.R.16 to a soldier who got wounded at the Somme in the same place as AH. (La Barque, if my memory serves me).

The EK2 is authentic.

However I have concerns regarding the mounting itself. The ribbons don't have the lopped edges like the originals have and look synthetic in my eyes.

Have you black-lighted the bar?

Do you have a picture of the reverse of the bar and close ups of the edges of the EK ribbon?

Bit bad quality picture but here is one award document from a grouping that I have. Most of the commemorative medals were awarded both to Germans and Finns in 1919.

Nice!

You always find nice stuff

Not a coincidence anymore, its already a habit of you to find matching stuff that's for others hard to do  

Congratulations!

Very nice mounting!

That CoL 1 (M41) with Oakleaves is reeaally sweet!

Not quite. You know JRR Tolkien was a british vet who fought trench warfare at the Somme and his literature was deeply influenced by this bloody battle

I know Tolkien was a World War 1 combat veteran. We find it a coincidene that the "Lord of the Rings" lives in Mordor 

No medal. A cross of 3.class or 1.class would be fitting. But it's more common to have just one CoL, I suspect the Medal of Liberty is added.

You wouldn't happen to live in Bavaria Chris?

 The map of Middle earth reminds a lot of the German held territory of the western front. According to the map, Bavaria is located about right there where Mordor is...

Spectacular. That's a highlight of any collection!

You must be joking? You got both Fredinand Schörners Militärpass and his ring?

Is his Pour le Merite entered in it?

I'd love to see more, either in private or in public! Amazing! Wow! Wow! Wow!

Congratulations Chris, this is by far the best Militärpass I have ever seen!
