Yes, Alpacca is cheap compared to the importance of the signatures.
Viribus unitis = with combined forces = Mit vereinten Kräften
Erinnerung = in memory
Mackensen
von Hindenburg
Erzherzog Carl GenLt = Erzherzog Karl Feldmarschall-Leutnant = a short time later Kaiser Karl
Conrad von Hötzendorf GenOberst (Generaloberst)
Erzherzog Friedrich FM (Feldmarschall)
But I have a problem with the signature top right.

My last one in 1944:
Sent in November 1943, awarded March 1944.
My first DRA document for men is from December 1921, my first DRA document for women is from 1924.

Hi,
the same man: DRL in Silber 1937, 1. Wiederholung for Gold in 1938 and 2. Wiederholung for Gold in 1939.
1st "Deutscher Reichsbund für Leibesübungen" and "Deutsche Reichs-Sportabzeichen", 2nd "Reichssportamt" and "Deutsche Reichs-Sportabzeichen" and 3rd "Reichssportamt" and "Reichssportabzeichen".
I think he stopped because of the war.

Jock,
I think, that the abbreviation "B.A.1" is for Bildabteilung 1.
Therefore he should be a professional in a Propaganda unit.

Hi,
I think, that the medal in the von Sallach online catalogue is the newest edition. Mr. von Sallach wants to clarify it in the ministry.
My medals, the type as shown above, are marked in the rim with "WIEDMANN", the cases are with the full address:
E. Ferd. Wiedmann
Metallwarenfabrik
Frankfurt a.M.-Süd

That is for me difficult to explain in English.
He had no military training, see No. 11 in his Militärpaß > militärisch nicht ausgebildet
But he was studying something, and that ended in May 1917. He could now be a civilian Ingenieur [later called Ing.(grad)], or, on a higher level, Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.).
Since 01.06.1917 he received provisionally (auf Widerruf) the rank "Hilfsingenieur", since 01.08.1918 provisionally the rank "Ingenieur auf Widerruf". All that as civil servant candidate (Beamter auf Widerruf). Limited up to the demobilization (längstens bis zur Demobilmachung).
He left the Army on the 31.12.1918 (Demobilmachung).
A short time later, as a civilian, he acquired the higher qualification "Doktor der Ingenieurwissenschaften" > Dr.-Ing.

A later picture from 1910 show him as Major and commander of the Seebataillon II, with some more decorations:

And here is a later medal bar of him, additional with:
Preußen Kronenorden 3. Klasse (1910); only the ribbon, the cross was removed
Oldenburg Haus- und Verdienstorden des Herzogs Peter Friedrich Ludwig Ritterkreuz 1. Klasse (1909),
and the Sachsen-Altenburg medal is also missing.

He is "Kappenmacher Carl Schweisfurth"

Hi ixhs,
"The 2nd class is a piece which was made after 1918 (till 1920) or a 57 S & L piece ..."
I could absolutely never be a "57 S & L piece", there is nothing to combine with 57er.
