Can anyone provide me a list of awards to those men preferable with date of award. Fliegermeister Johann Molnar Fliegermeister Eduard Sztavjanik Fähnrich Maximilian Obendorfer Kind regards Alex

My favorite pieces is this small group of Fl.Mech.Ob.Mt. August Remy who was the mechanic of of the famous "Wölfchen" onboard of SMS Wolf. Quite unique group. Kind regards Alex

This badges are from the next Staiffer auction. There are a lot of aviation badges for sell in the next ausction. This might come from a collection. Many of them are fakes but also some nice pieces. The pilot badge numbered 500 is a good piece but badly worn. Kind regards Aöex

Her a more recent picture of the cross.

Like a mentioned before the cross is currently stored in Dresden.

It is in Dresden in public hand. kind regards Alex

This cros worn by the King is still exisiting. Kind regards Alex

Group of an saxon observer

Schaper navy commemorative badge heavily worn.

Great to hear that you habe a hint. posible it is he but we need a picture to proof. It seems the engrave is done many years later.

This is correct for the cross. But the breast star for the Kommandeurskreuz is different from the Grosskreuz. We See here the star for the commander. kind regards Alex

Nice set, but the breast star isn’t the one for the great cross. It is the commander 1. class with swords.

Very nice piece with lovely engraving. i have checked the Crew of L 4 and it is not Ruskowski because he wasn’t a Maschinistenmaat. Non of the Maschinistenmaate from L 4 looks like the guy from your picture. kind regards Alex

Thanks John. This picture is amazing. @ Piotr What do you mean with FBS Putzig? Kind regards Alex

I don't have the exact date but he joined LFS Hage Juli 1918 and late 1918 he Change to LFS Barge. On May 1919 he leave the navy. Olt. Baumbach signed as leader of LFS Barge on his service certificate. Kind regards Alex

It seems the picture wasn't interessting enought. Maybe his pilot licence Kind regards Alex

Great display Alan. There is one more cross you can add to your collection. Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha Kriegserinnerungszeichen It is post war award but match to your collection Kind regards Alex

Correct. He was on SMS König Albert until end of war "bis Ende". None of the Delius were Olt.z.S. at that time point. Rudolf Delius was already Kpt.Lt. since Jan. 1917 and Heinrich Delius still a Fhn.z.S. The rang makes no sence for me. Kind regards Alex

Hi Gary, non of the existing Delius were in the navy aviation nor the airship service, as I wrote before. Here the entries from the Ehrenrangliste. 1. Kpt.Lt. Rudolf Delius. Delius is listed only with EK2 in the 1918 navy Rangliste. 2. Lt.z.S. Heinrich Delius. No awards listed for him on 1918 Rangliste. This is not an Ehrenpreis. If this piece has something to do with the navy avaition for sure not to Delius. Plaque, podest and eagles are put to gether imho. I don't remind to see a picture of the plaque. Can you post one please. Kind regards Alex

Thanks for posting this nice badges on this thread. It is hard to keep alone this thread alive . The interest on navy aviation increased in the last years but not many pieces are displayed. Once I had a simillar badge but this is many years ago ? Kind regards Alex

Here is my group with medal and KEZ in Eisen. Kind regards Alex

Here a nice group of an observer. Kind regards Alex

This is for sure his miniature chain. Good luck. Kind regards Alex
