Is there anyway identifying this pilot? (I believe there weren't that much bavarian pilots, but airforce is one of my lesser sides). And can anybody tell me which regiment, or was everybody's chiffre (shoulderboard?) the same for pilots.

yes, I still have the Immenstadt one (and not planning on selling it, but if you want to sell yours ......you know how to contact me) do you know where in Bayern these towns are Kadeltshofen/Remeltshofen: I hope I can take pictures of some Bavarian uniforms soon.

Great helmet! altough not in perfect shape, still a nice peace to look at. Is this the only object from your collection? I'd love to see more.

Very nice! I love 19th century medals, these ones I had never seen before, very beautiful.

actually the frame is from a painting of the same period, the painting isn't there anymore so I framed the Ehrenzeugnis, it fits exactly. (so theyactually don't belong to one another, but I put it in there for display).

my sympathies, that just ruines the fun of collection isn't it? I like looking at my objects, smelling them(I know I'm a freak!) etc. What's the fun if you have to put them in a bank nowadays. I think these items are to recognisable for selling or showing (easy traced because most medal combinations can be traced to a certain person, escpecially these from high ranking military men). I suspect someone has orderd someone(or did it himself) for his own collection.I can remember some cases where knights orders(with values of many thousands of euro's) etc. where stolen for a collector, if sold in the market, they will be found. I can only recommend everyone with rare items to secure their house.I myself have alarm systems on the doors, windows and movement alarms and even camera's in the display rooms. Put items behind glass, just make it a hard job to get it and they might loose interest. Insurance companies will insure you're items(at least in my counrty) if you have adequate locks on you're doors (about 500 euro a piece), and believe me, all worth the expenses if you have a rare collection, or even for emotional damage. I once had a break in at my shop, lucky for me they needed the Neighbours (a casino), they broke in at my place and went trough the wall(like in the movies),they where disturbed by the other Neighbours and they ran of, however I had a few items I was selling on my desk and they took it, not much value but it still sucks.You can't stop the pro's but at least make it tough and scare the ''normal'' burglars of. If you ask me what to do with thieves: line them up and use some Imperial weapons on them! Very sad and a dark day in collection history.

sorry, you are absolutely right, I was a bit distracted by the eagle, it is the order of the iron crown.

I don't know which ones he earned, but do know which ones he weared. -the legion of honnor medal and star -the order of the eagle I guess he probably earned more, but wouldn't know which ones. see pictures: I love this picture of Napoleon! and the eagle:

Very nice!!!! lovely display as well, can you tell more about these lanyards?

I'm collector of bavarian items but never found a book with all Bavarian medals in it. Does someone know where I can buy one? or the title of a book about Bavarian medals so I can look for it. thanks in advance!

thanks for the link! it sure is a great site with lots of French medals on it, nice effect also when clicking something.

Very nice items you have, are they all genuine?

great medal bars dond! can you tell more about the last medal? it sure looks interesting.

ok thank you for the info, is it, in your opinion, high priced? (not planning to buy it annyway, just curious).

I didn't make a picture of the back, it isn't really interesting. it is flat and has the name on it: Johann Heinzlmeir senior and 1939-1945

how blind am I? I didn't even see the other pictures near the text, only the one below! doesn't it say 1901? maybe it has something to do with China, and if it ahs a connection with a shooting club, many members of one could be drafted for duty.

Thank you very much for all the information!

Great site! I always love to see Bavarian items. is this you're site as well? http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-medals/german_medals.htm

thank you for the info! that is probably why I couldn't find it in any book.... what a seller: antique military medal I hate people trying to rip others off. by the way, the second item I asked about, my guess is something about the Stahlhelm bund, but what it exactly is, no idea

and can anybody tell something about this one?
