Max Bliesener, 1864-1931, 1914 Oberst FußAR 16, GM a.D. ArtKdr 43. BTW #3-5 is of quality!

Generalarzt à la suite of the Bavarian Army Dr. Nepomuk von Nußbaum (1829-1890) :love::love:

Rest in peace #11 is the best I have of this painting. The bar on this shows the BVM4X, the BJM, the PKO4X (?), the China medal with 2 bars and SWADM (?)

There is more - but only lots of paper, I hope to get soon. The bar is told to be six feet under :whistle:

Aaaahhhh, Ohhhhh Thanks for giving all the biographical data with one strike! BTW, all the stuff came from Kempten :whistle:

GREAT picture I like that way of wearing the pre-1914 bar with the single shiny fresh awarded wartime decorations. Kind regards, Komtur.

I am sure your eyes are properly working. On the mini chain the colour of the china medal, the crown order, the Tirolean medal and the long service cross is kind of indifferent between gold and silver. They all should be golden or bronze, so it seems to be only a question of the for the minis used alloy. On the other hand the china medal on the photo portrait is compared to the other decorations very dark, so it seems to be the combattant version. Kind regards, Komtur.

some details of the chain

Painting of Heim as Stabsarzt:

Yes, as I was told by Daniel too, Müller is also a possibility. Would like that, because of that changed ribbon. The name of Heim came from the dealer, until now without anything written, but I hope to get some papers directly from the family. Good luck for tomorrow Hope you´ll be back soon!

:cheers:

Come to know Dr. Johann Heim:

Overwhelmed by the RCC results I am appealed to ask for the wearer of this nice mini chain. Yes, the pics are from Evilbay and yes, the chain is mine now. Kind regards, Komtur.

Johanniter Rechtsritter, golden, marked F

Johanniter Ehrenritter, golden, marked S&W

Prinz Eitel Friedrich von Preußen, Herrenmeister des Johanniterordens

I was confused too and therefore I looked again in the English medals catalogue: 1887 = 50th coronation jubilee 1897 = 60th coronation jubilee As you can read in the catalogue for the 1897 medal: The medal is very similar to the 1887 issue, differing solely in the date and anniversery on the reverse. Best regards, Komtur.

The ribbon is the right one too:

Herzog Ernst von Sachsen-Altenburg with metal Johanniter cross
