According to O'Conner Vzfw. August Staiger from FA (A) 266 was awarded the golden MMM on September 27, 1917. No picture available Regards Alex

Are you sure this guy on the picture is Staiger? Look at this picture offered by the same seller from the estate of Staiger. This are two different persons. Regards Alex

And an unknown holder of the silver/gold MMM from Res. Infanterie Regiment Nr. 23. What is the badge on the collar for? Regards Alex

Thanks for your support on this thread. Seems it getting boring. Regards Alex

It is interesting that during the raid over Dünaburg on 4th februar 1916 Hptm Erich Linnarz was still the regular commander of LZ 86, before he took over the command of LZ 97 late februar 16, but he was not on bord during this flight. The airship was led by the 1st officer Hptm Walter Wolff, who later took over the command of LZ 86 after Linnarz. Regards Alex

Nice picture of an unknown See-Flug-Station. Regards Alex

Here a picture of Holtzmann with complete medal bar. Regards Alex

usualy the square is stamped on the pin, sometimes on the reverse of the badge. Possible the stamp was on the pin. The "935" stamp is just a silver content mark. This is well known maker of imperial german aviation badges. Regards Alex

It is a piece of the square punch maker. Regards Alex

Nice to see that someone is interested in aviation. Regards Alex

Schaper land pilot badge. Bronce gilded. Regards Alex

Thanks for this info. No doubt any more. What a great provenience. What a pitty that the group was splitted. Regards Alex

very nice cross with a great provenience, even if this is not 100% proof due to missing of any documents. Does the number on the cross mean the award number? Could the number be tracked? Regards Alex

Here another picture of an SSW giant plane from RFA 501. Look at the position of the MG. Vary interesting. A picture of members of RFA 501. Regards Alex

I love this documents. This one is out of the group of Lt Richard Hentschel (29.12.1897) from IR 134 and later observer with FA A 281 and FA A 276Lb. He received the MStHO as company leader of 8/134. He was at the age of 17. Later he received the AO knight cross 2nd class with swords (30.03.1916) and the VO knight cross 2nd class with swords (15.09.1917). Regards Alex

In my oppinion not a Meybauer badge. To many details differs to the known original Meybauer badges. That don't makes sense for me. I know one Meybauer airship badge marked with maker mark but looks different to this one. Could this be a later piece, maybe from the 30s? Possible but I don't believe. Why came all this questionable badges without any references to the owner. I would never buy any unknown or questionable badges without any reference. Regards Alex
