Alex,

This strap above is the correct shoulder strap for the Saxon LIR100. The Saxon Garde-Reiter Schulterklappen in this pattern had two rows of piping, an inner blue piping and an outer white piping. Here is what it looks like (not my photo).

Oh Chip, someday I must see your strap collection. :jumping:

Will anyone show their LGR100 straps?

What do you think?

Chip

I'm extremely happy with it. Who has the other? :unsure:

Can it be? A field gray strap for the Saxon Leib grenadier Regiment 100.

Hi Chip,

Very nice strap

You don't often see these straps in wear on photos.

Here is a FLAK strap in wear, not a Ortsfester FLAK zug strap, but still quite nice

nice period photo

Awesome. I've not seen that combination before. How'd you Ortsfester?

I'd go with the EA. Doesn't appear to be a wreath.

I didn't think the EA 1st class was awrded before war's end...

well, at least he DOES offer free shipping

Do you think he should try "BUY IT NOW" for $50,000.00? That's closer to what it's really worth... :speechless:

Hit me up side the head????

Lorenzo

That too!!! :P

To me that would be a bad day, to get hit by one of them clubs.

Lorenzo

very talented. I'd like to be able to do such a thing...

thanks

@eric, thanks for the close-ups.

i'am a liitle bit confused. caould it be that your cross was later golded or painted gold?

I myself can't ID the hallmarks but the way reverse of the wardecoration is done, as ductile as the frontside, i only know from pieces after 1918, often done by german manufacturers. normally the reverse looks like this. so i personally thin that cross and box dont match each other.

the miniature is very beautifull and IMHO and older one. BTW if you ever want to get rid of it

That is too many for one man. Please send no less than one to me. VERY IMPRESSIVE

How can I get my hands on this Steiner book? Does it have many examples like the photos you have posted?

The Karl Troop cross you post is of better quality than I normally see...

Exactly. It was possible to earn 'only' a golden bravery medal. i add pics of a german made bar. Twice silver bravery 2nd class and Karl-Truppen-Kreuz and NO bronze bravery medal.

unfortunately i don't collect pictures they are all stolen from steiners book.

That style crown looks much better with the cross than the normal type.

Greetings to Arkansas. I can only add this picture of Offiziersstellvertreter Josef H?llriegel, Golden Bravery Medal 1915 (Feldj?gerbatallion 10). He wears an very very rare (i have never seen one) variant called dicke krone thick crown a crown with no pendules like for s signum laudis but made of iron

josef

Thanks,

So he has the gold and silver bravery. I don't know the rules. I assume its not required to earn the bronze or small silver 2nd class before receiving the large silver or gold.

We need a thread showing photos of Austro-Hungarian soldiers and men. The photos you have posted are terrific.

VERY NICE!!!

When were mini awards worn?

or Feldwebel Josef Beranek (Golden Bravery Medal 1918) from IR 21 or an unknown Zugsf?hrer.

all pics taken from J?rg C. Steiner Das Eiserne Verdienstkreuz

Excellent Josef, thanks for sharing. Can you show more?

You just don't see photos like that here in the USA...

i think you may be right, charles

Send it to me, I'll fix the ribbon with the correct medal.

Hmmm. The two bars increase kaching by orders of magnitude (I've never had the privilege of even SEEING a two-bars "live"), but that's about what I was paying in the early 1990s, so not too far out. Got my first Karl Large Silver back in the late 1970s for $15 bucks.

Allllllll gone.

I thought silber medal had silver bars...

Yes, Thanks.

Does anyone one or can anyone show this beside a regular medal for size comparison?

Is this Bavarian Feldmarshall wearing the large golden Signum Laudis?

Merit crosses were for TECHNICAL guys. Signals, engineering, medical...behind the front, near the front, not actually AT the front...

NEVER seen one for frontline INFANTRY.

They approximate WW2 KVKXs as opposed to Iron Crosses.

I did not know that...

Definitely NOT.

What about Gold, Silver 1st, Silver 2nd, and Bronze Bravery and a Karl Troop Cross?
