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.

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.

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 ?

Thanks for posting this uniform for me. Can you post Close-ups of his uniform.

I love it.

Kind regards
Alex

Thanks for the positive feedback. Here another pic of Dickmann's group.

Merry Christmas
Alex

It seems that he never been qualified as a pilot even after the war.

It's a pitty that no one else write something to this awsome tunic with a great history.
Keep it in honor.

Kind regards
Alex
