Eric,
it could be the only one.
The decorations and the documents are not mine. Decades ago they had been offered to me, but unfortunalely I did not buy them (at that time to expensive for me). Therefore only b/w copies, not to compare with modern scans.

Hi Eric,
there is no problem for me. And I agree that the above mentioned officer (later SA Oberführer) collected post WWI decorations like "Karnevalsorden". The above mentioned "Deutscher Volksorden: Komturkreuz" was the rarest of all his decorations. I never saw another cross. He was a friend of "Prinz AuWi", even after they were both prisoners of war (Internierungslager).

Hi,
the "Ehrenzeichen für Verdienste in der Reservistenarbeit" is, based on the NVA regulation (DV 010/0/005), placed direct behind the "Verdienstmedaille der NVA, der Grenztruppen der DDR und der Zivilverteidigung" and before "andere Verdienstmedaillen der DDR". Only 8 positions later you can find the "Medaillen für treue Dienste der NVA, der Grenztruppen der DDR und der Zivilverteidigung".

Hi Eric,
I have a problem with your comment.
The shown cross is a very rare one, and many collectors would be exited, to have such an rarity in their collection.

I'm sorry, this is not a miniature medal bar, but it is a mini miniature on a brooch. May be allowed here?

Hi,
I'm not Uwe B., but Uwe K., and I can add something.
There is a b/w copy of a document in my collection from 1928.
Besitzzeugnis
Der Vorstand des Deutschen Trainbundes verleiht hiemit dem Leutnant d.Res., Herrn ... ... anläßlich des 75jährigen Bestehens des Trains als Waffe am 21. April 1928 das an diesem Tage gestiftete Trainkreuz. Berlin, den 29. Mai 1928. No xxx Der Vorstand des Deutschen Trainbundes (3 signatures).
All that is correct for this cross. He procured all sorts of decorations from 1921 to 1935.
Here is the list of his documents for several decorations:

Sa-Altenburg: Tapferkeitsmedaille
EK 1

Deutscher Volksorden: Deutsch-Bekenntniskreuz I. Klasse
Kreuz der sächsischen Ehrenlegion
Frontkriegerbund: Frontkreuz
Deutscher Trainbund: Trainkreuz
Bund der Verdun- und Argonnenkämpfer: Ehrenzeichen für Verdun- und Argonnen-Kämpfer (3 documents)

Hi,
they used the word "Kronanwalt", based on the British law, for a "Staatsanwalt". In 1963 Hannover was a kingdom; they lost this "title" after the war from 1866.
Please switch in the link to the English version.

Hi Linas,
see additional here: Silbernes Verdienstkreuz
Your badge is marked with 925 (silver) or 825?

Hi,
I read it as Rauch, and it could be von Rauch?

Hi Owain,
you post these very fine decorations and medals in the section "Masonic Medals & Jewels".
In my understanding the R.A.O.B. is not masonic. Am I wrong here?
"The RAOB organisation aids members, their families, dependents of former members and other charitable organisations."
"The Freemasonry strives to enhance himself and the society."
Using the same terms and definitions like "lodge" and "brother" does not make a RAOB member to be a Freemason. This is my opinion, and I apologize for my insufficient English.

Hi,
that is a really old carnival decoration.
The Honnef-Rhöndorfer Karnevalsgesellschaft (KG) was founded in 1926, and the KG was dissolved in 1929!
It could be a decoration in the year 1927 in remembrance of 1 year KG for all the members and good friends.

Hi Paul,
"I’d love to see a confirmed ww1 era piece"
That is not possible, because there was no continuation of the tests and also no award in WWI.
Carl Diem 1917:
"Während des Krieges wurden die Prüfungen des Sportabzeichen nicht fortgesetzt. Ich beantrage, sie nach dem Kriege wieder aufzunehmen ..." > "During the war the tests of the sports badge were not continued. I request that they be resumed after the war ..."

it was established in 1913, awarded in 1913 and 1914, and in 1914 stopped because of the war. Further awards were not made until 1919.
The first three years only awards in Bronze and Gold, since 1920 also in Silber (based on the first regulations).

Hi,
the Schlaraffia order "Orden vom Stern des Hadramauth" (second from the left in my last post) is definitely a very old order of the Schlaraffia Reych "Praga". This is documented in many old books about Schlaraffia.
