On the next pic you can see, what this bar looks like before. This picture shows a part of the collection, where the bar above comes from. I know that also here the KO4 with the red cross looks like manipulated. But someone exchange this cross to put on his place a copy of a AEZ with a red cross before I bought the bar. BUT IT WAS MY FAULT! I DID NOT EXAMINED THE BAR BEFORE BUYING! Now I learned my lesson Best regards, Komtur.

EK 1870 1870 Maidens Cross Question

Hm, "only" 1787 awarded KO4 with the red cross (1872-1874). So it may be not a very, very long time, but a very long time May be Geiles Register of the rare orders in the Ordensalmanach 1904/5 is of any use (I don?t have it, so I do not know, if the KO4 with the red cross is rare enough to be mentioned) Best regards, Komtur.

Thank you both for these additional informations, especially Rick for searching the SEHO rolls The SEHO3b has a golden center, while the SEHO3bX has a silver guilded one. That could be a hint, that the first one is a pre war or an early war decoration. On the other hand it can be a reawarded order in the late war years after returned to the order commission. @webr55 I had this promotion date before, but I can?t remember the source. Where is that from? Best regards, Komtur.

Some month ago I?ve got this wonderful bar. To my great pleasure Daniel suggest as its owner: Dr. Hermann Kanter Oberarzt IR 153 (8. Th?ringisches) Thanks to Ricks/Daniels lists: SEHO3bX 24.12.1914 Sh HSAE "14" 31.8.1916 Besides Kanter, there are two other persons with this combination: Lt. d. R. Book and Lt. d. R. Syre. Because of the Red Cross Medal 3rd class Kanter is the most likely, but this is a supposition. Unfortunately in the 1914 Rangliste there are no decorations mentioned for Kanter (or Syre; Book is not in this list). Any idea for a source to find out, if he (or Book or Syre) got a SEHO3b? May be a regimental history of the IR 153? Best regards, Komtur.

Many Thanks Rick, for the additional information and the portrait. I would appreciate, if you could change the title of this thread. The abbreviation PC in the Stammliste des Marine-Sanit?tskorps seems to mean the Prussian Centenar Medal. So the China Medal is missing in this Stammliste, but it is mentioned in the Ordens-Almanach and it make sense because of B?ses duty in China. Again we see, that even with the exactness of Prussian civil servants some little mistakes can happen. Best regards, Komtur.
