Many thanks to both of you. The Deutsch Wette near Neisse was mentioned in some text about the S.S.O.S. I guess its the place where he lived when he found the Gruppe Nord of the Selbstschutz Oberschlesien in May 1921. He was also the commander of the Gruppe Nord.

Hello Gents, I'm looking for more information on Oberstleutnant Grützner from Deutsch Wette near Neisse. He found the Gruppe Nord of the Selbstschutz Oberschlesien in May 1921. I'm Interested in his WW1, especially the regiment in which he served at the end of the war. I hope to find a pre S.S.O.S. Freikorps that was built up out of this WW1 regiment. Kind regrets and thanks

Do you own this picture? Is anything written on the back? I try to determine this Freikorps, but its a bit tricky. Some might say its Battalion Keith but IMO its not. Battalion Keith has some smaller cross onto a fabric disc as insignia. Also, Battalion Keith did not wear this oak leaves collar tab.

Its not even a joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frédéric_Prinz_von_Anhalt#Early_life

Indeed the military version, so I guess: He fought some Pimp wars in the 80s or before.

You are talking about this bar? Are the awards itself genuine and only the bar is a modern fake? Or all fake?

Just a thought. But would Godet show up as a tailor in the address list? I guess you know this link? https://digital.zlb.de/viewer/berliner-adressbuecher/

The crown is a (modern) crown for a count. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Rangkronen-Fig._18.svg https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangkrone German,Belgium, Netherlands looks like.

abgesandt vom Lag. eingegangen beim Kr.-Min. abgesandt vom Kr.-Min. (N.B.) sendet from the camp received by the Kriegsministerium (Ministry of War) sendet from the Kriegsministerium (Ministry of War) I guess its Kriegsministerium (Ministry of War), from the context. But could also be Kreis Minden (district of Minden Government) for example. Its about context. There are several Friedrichsfeld, dont know if your Friedrichsfeld is in the district of Minden. Dont know where it was sendet to. Some higher administration? But whats higher than the Kriegsministerium (Ministry of War)? And dont know about the (N.B.)

Commemorative medal for the 18th birthday of Adolf Friedrich, eldest son of Grand Duke Adolf Friedrich V of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C94031

Rare picture, and its really a soldier of the Grenzjäger Regiment/Abteilung 3 Nostitz, former Freikorps Michaels. While people tend to call every sächs. Grenzjäger, Freikorps Michaelis.

Sehr seltene Stück. Erst recht mit Urkunden und drum herum.

The medal its not so uncommon, 30-50€ range. The price was about this being a priest and the stuff which came with the medal and the award certificate.

Is there any auctions house without a premium (Aufgeld) besides eBay?

Please do. Did Mr. Baldes sue someone and get bankrupt or what are you speaking about?

deleted Confused cross with crown

Yes, very small in his conditions, not in the description. The bla bla in the conditions its just a juridical trick.

The Bavarian ribbons look extreme new compared with the IC ribbon.

And wrong colors obvious. But the middle stripes seems indeed somehow faded out. Looks like some slight red is remaining.

With the missing backside, could it be a HOH commander cross? Any dimensions mentioned?

Lot of bogus beef at the SDA, when the club there hates the seller they will talk a piece down. Not judging this piece, just in general I would recommend to rely on your own opinion.

"von" is the lowest Nobiliary particle. Example: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Wilhelm_von_Unruhe-Bomst
