I don‘t think the medal bar is overpriced.

Maybe a bit over market price but not much.

750-800€ is a realistic price.

Forman had a nice collection of aviation badges too.

This was sold at Thies years ago.

Great pic Lew. Congratulation.
It seems he was a Army soldier before he came to the Navy aviation.

I have him as an Artillerie Matrose but didnt' know that he was an Army man.

I miss the award for the EK2 for many persons on my database. I'm sure the most of them got the cross but I want a confirmation before I enter the information.

Please send me a copy of the picture for my database without copyright.

Regarding the second ribbon it is important to know where he came from.

Unfortunately I don't have the place of birth for Anesorge.

If he was a Saxon (Falkenau) than Friedrich-August-Medaille is likely.

Sure here is the full content.

I belive that the location is "Holtenau" not "Falkenau". Anesorge was at the Stamm of I. SFA at Holtenau from Mar. - May 1918.

But the picture was done later.

Hello!

Bruno is possible. To me it could be Bruno Anesorg.

But he is unknown to me. Do we have any more infos indicating him as a soldier?

The Flieger-Obermaat could be Max Anesorge, missing in 1918:

Max Anesorge died with UC 57. He is not the navy flyer.

@lew

Don't make it to complicated. Can we see the avers?

Really bad, fake Austrian Badge, 12 bids

Fake Imperial German navy commemorative badge.

I want to present you my Finnish pilot badge. This badges are rarely seen especially the early version.

This badges belonged to a German navy observer who served on the Baltic front during WW1 (SFS Windau, SFS Reval).

Hi bolewts58,

the book sounds very interesting.

Can you give some details. Who is the author?

KR

Wwe often see a difference between introduction of an award and the first awards. 

it is not unusual.

Regarding the Erinnerungsabzeichen it is normal that this was not awarded at the beginning. There is an award of the Erinnerungsabzeichen (Bavarian version) to Hptm. Lauterbach dated on 10. Dec. 1914. The Bavarian version was established 2 months later on March 1915

Look here for the navy aviation badges including name lists.

Verleihungen = awards

Quote

9) Abzeichen fur Marine-Fliegerschutzen (created 27/01/1918)

This was never introduced.

I’ve never seen that medal mounted, just loose and a couple cased ones over the years 

 

This piece definetely deserves better pictures.

Congratulation. Is it stamped with "S" in the lower cross arm?

Hi Stephan,

I have a service record for WW1 of your grandfather on my website.

But never had contact to the family 

I‘m sure you know the book written by him „Zwischen den Meilensteinen der Luftfahrt“.
