I have never seen Himmler with the HC and I am pretty sure, that he didn't own one. But how about Göring? He should have one.

yes, there is a huge article in the DGO magazine hitting the post boxes today regarding these modern copies. They all came from one source,

Gentlemen, if you are interested in one or two of these IC1, that I have shown in this thread, you can bid on them here: https://www.ratisbons.com/de/55th-contemporary-history-auction

I can confirm that only Bavarians were committed with the persönlichem Adel if they recieved the MMJO. Non Bavarians weren't be nobled by the King.

By the way, number 8 is a brunswick Order of Henry the lion 4th class.

 

He did not get a Friedrich August as a officer candidate 🙂 This would show up in the Prussian Army lists. His hessen Bravery Medal is the right one, believe me 😉

 

Just checked my files, he did indeed get both Bulgarian orders in the Offiers class. Why he did wear the Alex after the Military Merit might have been his decision, even if the rules were different.

 

 

Best,

Daniel

correct, Sigurd von Ilsemann recieved his cross 4th class in 1910 as Leutnant Garde Infanterie Regiment 115

yepp, but this one is good! 

Just some iron crosses from WW1. I hope you like them! 

Here is mine on a single medal bar with Kalahari 1908

I wonder if the triangular part at the top was meant to go through a button-hole or something similar.

I am pretty sure, that you are right with your assumption.

I don't have access to the rolls, but I have seen something similar with other (but non-Hanover) medals. I think it's "LEOPOLD I", in contrast to a "LEOPOLD II" from the same unit. Men were counted within a company if there were two or more by the same family name!

 

 

You are right, this was common practise in Hannover. I. II. III. could be found. And this doesn't necessarilly was just in the same company.

What a beauty! Hasn't this cross been published and discussed before, like in the mid-1980s? It looks quite unusual, especially with the anachronistic italics. Do you consider it an award-type cross? I think it was addressed back then as a privately purchased variation, which wasn't uncommon to the era - so possibly a unique piece... ?! I might misremember this, so please feel free to correct me!

 

 

Yes it was heavily discussed in the 80s. At the end, it was not decided what it is. End aof 18th century or begin of 19th. 

Wow that one is a beauty and to me looks very fine and original! 

Well these things are a pure min field. Many copys and fakes around. From what I see on the photo above none of these pieces are awarded pieces in WW1. But this is what you allready said. 

it would be interesting to read what others may say, if these are all good and from the 30s. 

well we had a similar discussion at the sda forum, but didn't recieved any final conclusion. So this topic is still open.
