Hi 9.9.18 Augenkrank d[em] bayr[ischen] Kriegsl[azarett] XXX 20. überw[iesen] bis 18.9.18 9.9.18 with ohptalmic defect sent into the Bavarian hospital XXX 20 up to 18.9.18. Uwe

Hi militaria0815, can you please show us medals, model 1 (blackened iron) and/or model 2 (patinated zinc), with the helmet design shown in Post 1 and 9? No matter, a temporal delimitation is always possible with the help of the different materials, see Post 20. Uwe

Hi Dean, the first edition (blackened iron) had been awarded in the period 1920-1922. My two grey/black medals (patinated zinc) are from the period 1922-1928, second edition. The other four medals (silvered/gilded) in this thread are from the period 1928-1936, third edition, now with a changed helmet design. Uwe

Here are three of my medals, see the different helmet style: Uwe

Hi, we have in Bavaria in that time two different oval medals. 1. Feuerwehrehrenzeichen für hervorragende Leistungen (for outstanding performance/excellent achievement) http://www.feuerwehr...isch/10205.html 2. Feuerwehrehrenzeichen für 25/40jährige Dienstzeit (for long service 25/40 years) http://www.feuerwehr...isch/10202.html http://www.feuerwehr...isch/10203.html For the first medal with the text ""FÜR HERVORRAGENDE LEISTUNGEN IM FEUERWEHR-DIENST" it is correct with the different colours for professionals in red and for volunteers in white and blue. For the second medal with the text "FÜR 25/40 JÄHRIGE DIENST-ZEIT" it is for the differentiation between 25 (white and blue) and 40 years (red) of service. Uwe

An EK 2 is worth best wishes and a selfbaked cake of his wife "... sendet Dir mit einem inliegenden Kuchen selbst gebacken i[m] Ofen von Rudis Geburtstag unter innigsten Grüßen u[nd] Küssen Deine treue Gretchen Rudi u[nd] Leni"

Hi Jason, the combination is not correct. The second medal from left must be positioned behind all the other medals. Postion 1 and 3 from left: Verdienstmedaille der Organe des Ministeriums des Innern in Silber und Bronze (police medal for merit, second and third class). Position 2 (the wrong placed medal): Medaille für Treue Dienste in den bewaffneten Organen des Ministeriums des Innern in Gold für 25 Jahre (police medal for faithful service). Position 4: Verdienstmedaille der Kampfgruppen der Arbeiterklasse in Gold (or Silber?) (militia medal for merit). The medals in Position 3 and 4 are back to front. Uwe

Hi Douglas, as a German I only know one word for it: Flugabwehrkanone http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flak Uwe

Gordon, "I can not agree with comments that the first bar posted is a fantasy piece. There is no proof of that." I can not agree with your comment. It is the disputable combination, it is the missing EK 2 and it is the order of precedence. There are some bars interchangeable, e.g. the olympic medal and the long service decoration, but they are interchangeable only in a grouping, not between groupings. Please compare my configuration with Nr. 840 in Post 16: Uwe

Hi, I must assist Naxos, the first one is a fantasy bar. No EK 2 (IC 2), wrong order of precedence, all bars "must have" a mini on it (e.g. Ostmedaille is original without a mini, see Post 8). Everybody could create such a ribbon bar. But I must say, that the order of precedence on the ribbon bar of Generalmajor Dr. Ebeling is also not correct , in the second row the German Cross and the Verdienstkreuz 1. Klasse must be changed (Gordon, please do not change it). Here is the better reference for all 1957 versions: http://www.ordensmus...16Jan0857er.pdf Uwe

Hi Humberto, As far as I know the presentation of the document in a folder form depended not of the rank of the recipient. The documents signatures ( Honecker, Stoph, etc) I only found in printed form. Uwe

I just found it in the first link : "Im Ersten Weltkrieg war er Sanitätschef eines Reservespitals in Jerusalem." Dr. Hermann Ritter v. Schrötter-Kristelli, RgtsArzt i. d. Res., Kmdt. d. FSp. II vom Roten Kreuz, BMVM., P.V.Bl., 95/15, L.V.Bl. 77/15 Source: Ehrenbuch der österreichisch-ungarischen Wehrmacht, I. Band 1917 BMVM. = Bronzene Militärverdienstmedaille Uwe

Hi, some very small corrections: Jerusalem, 1. Juni 1917 Euer Hochwohlgeboren! Hoch geehrter Herr Hauptmann! Eben erhielt ich von unserem k.k. österreichischen Aeroclub, dessen Auschußmitglied ich bin, den letzten Jahresbericht, der auch heuer wieder gar manch lesenswerte und so auch solche Artikel enthält, von denen ich glaube annehmen zu können, daß Sie und ihre Herren Offiziere sich näher dafür interessieren könnten. Getragen von dieser Annahme wollen Sie mir gütigst gestatten, Ihnen die Broschüre zum freundlichen Angedenken zu übersenden. Im Anschlusse an Seite 225 möchte ich mir seinerzeit einmal, nach meiner Rückkunft in Wien gestatten, mit einigen Worten des näheren auf Ihre und Ihrer Kameraden so fruchtbringende Tätigkeit in Syrien einzugehen und wäre Ihnen in diesem Zusammenhange sehr dankbar wenn sie mir einige, auf Ihre Herren wie Falke, Fehny u. a. bezügliche Aufnahmen herstellen bzw. zugehen ließen. Empfangen Sie den Ausdruck meiner vorzüglichen Hochachtung und kameradschaftliche Grüsse mit dem ich zeichne als Ihr ergebener (Hermann v.)Schrötter Could it be Stabsarzt Hermann von Schrötter? http://de.wikipedia...._Schr%C3%B6tter http://en.wikipedia...._Schr%C3%B6tter Uwe

Here is a document for a Banner der Arbeit without a "Stufe" for a member of a "Kollektiv" Uwe

Hi Humberto, on ebay.de you can always find the documents, with prices from 10 to 299 Euro! You have to pay more than 10 Euro for documents from 1974 and before, the "Orden Banner der Arbeit" without the "Stufe" (later Stufe I). And you must differentiate between documents for a "Kollektiv" (see Post 2) and documents for a single person. Here is a document for a single person in Stufe II Uwe

Hi Chris, I think, he is from Baden, 1. Badisches Leib-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 109. 11. Juni 1916 Liebling! hebe bitte diese Karte sehr sehr gut auf! Es ist eine teuere Erinnerung da wir 109er diesen Teil gestürmt haben! Herzliche Grüße Franz Darling! please keep this card very, very safe! It is a valuable recollection because we 109er forced this part! Kind Regards Franz ... this part! = a special location on the card on the other side? Uwe

Hi VitwinVince, In 1886 he married Clara Baarth. He is Premier-Leutnant in Grenadier-Regiment Graf Kleist von Nollendorf (1. Westpreußisches) No. 6. !n 1898 he is Major 1n 1901 he is Major in Infanterie-Regiment von Grolmann (1. Posensches) Nr. 18 Uwe

Hi, I can show, what I have in my collection. I can only support Bemed: Uwe

Hi Jim, we don't need better pictures, the RZM mark is "good" enough = fantasy. Uwe

Hi, here is a medal ribbon with a middle section in yellow on a basic structure in red, a thin red thread under the yellow thread, yellow partial rubbed off. The quality of these medals is really not impressive. Uwe

And I repeat it once more, in a large set of an aristocratic family I found a BB&Co TWM with the red 'box'. All the decorations, documents and cases are originals, without any doubts. And therefore I assume, that the Lieutenant General got his TWM from BB&Co with this paper bag: Uwe

Hi demir, nice pictures of the AWS TWM in Post 21 and 22. Because they belong to me. But for me not good enough. Here are better pictures of the Tugra and the manufacturer's sign AWS: Uwe

Hi Terry, Meinem lieben Entner zur Erinnerung an gemeinsam verlebte Tage. Paris, Weihnachten 1941 Wuttig, Hptm Hptm = Hauptmann = Captain I think, that he is of the Infanterieregiment 101, stationed in Sachsen. Uwe

E.S.

Hi Terry, the left part of the picture in my Post (12) is reflected. Without reflection you can see, that it is the same indentation on your TWM, but only a part: Uwe
