    1. Hello, The style was demolished 1915 and you never see it on post 1918 pictures. So this bar, being 1917 I think, isn‘t even correct. Also, as an higher officer serving from 1898 onwards, not a lot got the FEK. His ww1 medals are also mostly commemorative. Regards
    2. Hello! This is a bigger ribbon bar one of my friends has, which I hope is able to be tracked down or get some more clues about by someone in this forum by any chance. As far as I know, this bar most likely belonged to a long serving Bavarian officer (most likely a doctor or maybe a priest). The third ribbon from the right is the 1870 commerative medal, so this guy definitly served from 1870 into ww1. His medals are also interesting, as he has an order from Mecklenburg-Schwerin, unusual for a Bavarian. I sadly don‘t have any access to the Ranglisten from back then, but maybe someone here has! If you have any input, please comment. Regards
    3. Hello, recently got this quite extensive miniature chain. It has an interesting combination of awards, I was wondering if there is a chance of maybe getting an ID on it? Appreciate any help/input Consists of the following: -Wilhelm I Centenary Medal -Romania Order of the Crown Knight's Cross 1881-1932 -Ottoman War Medal (Gallipoli star) -Austria Military Merit Cross with War Decoration -Bulgaria Order of Bravery 4th Class 1915 -Hanseatic Cross of Lübeck (middle part has been replaced ?) -Hanseatic Cross of Hamburg -Prussia 25 Year Servíce Award for Officers (6.Form 1895-1920) -Prussia Iron Cross First or Second Class Jon
    4. Probably made in Germany for a foreign national as they were good at this stuff, that would be my guess Jon
    5. To me it looks like a brooch with king George V side portrait in the middle and the maltese white crosses on the side..? (Order of St.John?) Perhaps I am way off, I hope someone more knowledgeable can come in and give a better assessment of this pin/brooch. Jon
    6. Wow. Thank you so much, great to have a name and a bit of a story to it. Seems likely that a better repair in Brazil would not have been possible.
    7. I think It's a terrible repair. It has no back part, the back part has been put on the front.
    8. Hello! Recently got this Frackkette, and I was wondering if you think an ID is possible on this combination of awards.
