Who's that general in the photo C? I like the WE Cross Here's my White Falcon. I'm a HUGE FAN of Saxen Duchies but nobody likes to share. (hint to Chris D )

Many of you are very knowledgeable on the matter of what members of certain regiments were likely to be awarded because of Regiments HQ location, Colonel-in-Chef, Royal members, and combat assignments. Would someone tell me the most likely awards that are probable to the following Regiments? I understand they are likely to receive units from their Kingdom or Duchy but all the other awards are unknown to me. Prussian LGR8 officer (LT) Saxon LGR100 NCO Baden Dragoon Rgt 22 officer (1LT) Prussian Husar Rgt 12 officer (LT) Prussian General Staff Officer (Mjr) Hessian Inf Rgt 116 (F/LT)

Darn, I've been looking for one of those for YEARSSSS!!! Can I have the other one? Those are super awards and I'm partial to Baden

I really like photo number 1.

I to think it would be a good assumption

I think its worth $500-$600. I hope if you get it you can reunite it with the bar Rick posted. That's probably gonna cost you double

It would be very nice to have the article to read. What are the chances of getting a copy? Christophe, it is a nice bar isn't it?

Thanks Rick, Was SA Obergruppenf?hrer Friedrich von Raben present at Night Of The Long Knives? I'm going to do some searching to see what info comes up on the net for this man.

Oh Rick, Your right, I wrote Baden because I've been searching for a certain ribbon bar combo. I knew this was a W?rttemberg bar because of the multiple W?rttemberg ribbons but my brain refuses to cooperate. It's a nice bar but really too worn for most people to collect.

Well, Some may have seen this bar in the past. I'm trying to find out who the owner/wearer of the bar. Can some of the expert help? I have no good research materials.

Yeah, that's pretty good stuff...

Wow, how unexpected is it for Schimpf's ribbn bars to show up on this thread. The collectors on this forum are AMAZING to me... I just hope to someday have a bar with WM3 and a WFaX combo. Rick, what does the revese look like?

He would be either Artillery or Cavalry based on the strap on his left shoulder

Rick, What's the purple ribbon?

Oh man, those are sweet! It's wonderful to have the exact item that someone is wearing in a photo.

Rick, that is a beauty! I love TWM th vertical pins. I have a nice example of a cased TWM but its pin is horizontal.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

BTW Who is the highly decorated officer in the 1st post? he has a heck of a nice ribbon bar. His rank looks to be major. Obviously, he could get away with wearing a hybrid tunic for formal occasions

Those are wonderful. I've been searching for over 10 years for the second one. Congrats

Thanks Chip, I've seen a gefreiter 1910 tunic with pockets added and wasn't sure if it's an okay period example or a post war addition. I've been told tunics had pockets added and buttons replaced after the war. Buttons are easy to remove but not pockets

That's a good Question. I'd like to see the entire range of awards for this decoration. I've often wondered why there appear to be so many different crosses for enlisted people. Then theres the one with the enameled center. Also, if you are awarded the decoration 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times do you where all on the medal bar? What aoubt he ribbon bar? I've seen as many as three on a ribbon bar and wonder if it's the same as three Prussian black/white ribbons.

Chip, Would enlisted men and NCOs get away with adding pockets to their uniform tunics? I've seen NCO pilots do such things but wonder if infantry and artillery types could also wear non regulation items.

This Kraftfahr Officer appears to have a green badge cloth collar and tabs for a 1915 bluse on a 1910 style tunic. Maybe even 1915 pattern buttons too

I've been looking at uniform detail and have noticed there are 1910 tunics that have 1915 green badge cloth collars and some apparently have 1915 style buttons. I've seen both 1910 and 1915 tunics with breast pockets and this was unauthorized. Were these types of variations only allowed in the field? Here's a photo showing an officer who is wearing a 1910 tunic with a 1915 green collar and 1915 pattern tabs. I suppose this is a studio portrait so maybe this uniform was okay. Is it possible there was a pattern that was a hybrid between 1910 and 1915 showing attributes from both?

Heiko, Can you post more photos on this man? His uniform is very interesting and maybe other photos would clear up whether or not he was an NCO before becoming a Lt. How do you know his awards? Do you have a list of his awards or a photo of him wearing them?
