Klasse f?r Hauptmann Fritz Vieth IR 459 vom 8.8.1918 4.) Braunschweig Bew?hrungsabzeichen zum Kriegsverdienstkreuz Hauptmann Fritz Vieth IR 459 vom 26.9.1918 The scans on Ebay were bad and before I was able to bid, the document group was canceled With regards, Komtur.

Could save this pic from Ebay before it was gone with the wind Verleihung vom 27. Juli 1917 an Hauptmann Fritz Vieth vom IR 139 (?) With regards, Komtur.

Couldn?t find this Hansen in the Stammliste der Kaiser Wilhelms-Akademie, but found him in the Stammliste des Marine-Sanit?ts-Offizierskorps 1906:

Wir Wilhelm von Gottes Gnaden K?nig von Preu?en etc. haben dem Vize-Oberhofmeister ihrer Majest?t der Kaiserin und K?nigin, Schlo?hauptmann von Charlottenburg, Otto Freiherrn von Ende, da? von Uns zu Unserer silbernen Hochzeit gestiftete Erinnerungszeichen verliehen und ertheilen demselben ?ber den rechtm??igen Be- sitz dieser Auszeichnung das gegenw?rtige Beglaubigungs- Schreiben mit unserer eigenen Unterschrift und dem bei- gedrucktem K?niglichen Insiegel, Berlin, den 27. Februar 1906. Sorry, to translate it proper in English is to sophisticated for me. With regards, Komtur.

and the Kaiser himself

General von Gilgenheimb

If you like them General von Francois

Hm, shame on me , I was wrong with the rank insignia, then the second general must be a Generalleutnant. May be I was wrong with the signature too??? Does it really mean "Feldmann". Any other idea for interpretation of this S?tterlin writing? Thanks and regards, Komtur.

Hello Humberto, I can?t tell you the number of awarded decorations, that?s a point I am interested too! But I can show a scan of an awarding document:

2. unknown Generalmajor with Red Eagle Order 2nd class with X and oak leaves, may be identifiable by his order bar?

Not spectecular, but may be of interest for anyone here: two new arrived pics of imperial Generals. 1. Generalleutnant Feldmann (?) (as I read the signiture) On the back dated by postal stamp 11.10.1933. I only found one fitting in the Ehrenrangliste 1914.

Hello Ulsterman, that ribbon-question in this case is quite difficult. In the statuts of the Honor Decoration for the XXV anniversery it is spoken of orders, not decorations. Therefore I am shure, that very rare example with that special ribbon you mentioned is representing a Crown Order (4th or 3rd class) with memory ribbon ("am Erinnerungsband") awarded 1870/71 for merits behind the front. This "Erinnerungsband" is the same later used for the war merit cross. With regards, Komtur.

I?ve got only the EK II with the dokument, no other decorations or papers - so I don?t know. Komtur.

Sorry, but I?m afraid my English or my knolwedge of the EK is not sophisticated enough to understand what you mean

The award on the ribbbon of the Prussian House Order of Hohenzollern: Dr. Ernst Zunker, docter of the imperial family

The award on the ribbon of the grand cross of the Red Eagle Order: General der Kavallerie Adolf von Deines

Hello Humberto, this questions were discussed a few weeks ago in the similar German forum "Sammlergemeinschaft Deutscher Auszeichnungen": It was awarded to persons close to the jubilee couple, so it was not a common award. It was given also to 119 veterans belonging 25 years before to the 2nd company of the 1st Garde-Regiment zu Fu?, because that company was led by prince Wilhelm, the later Kaiser Wilhelm II. The figure XXV with a myrtle wreath around in silver lays on the ribbon of the last awarded Prussion order. If the person got no Prussion order before, the ribbon was white. The 119 veterans got the award on the ribbon of the Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen (see picture below). The awarding document was signed personally by the Kaiser. with regards, Komtur.

At last the Iron Cross, that comes with this awarding document is a fine example. There are no marks on it. With regards, Komtur.

A second amazing thing is the watermark, it seems the document is printed on the enemies paper

This awarding document for an Iron Cross 2nd class 1914 is in my opinion interesting in some points. At first it is given to a dentist. This "rank" is not often to be seen on these documents. I would like to know, what kind of heroic action was the reason for this award. May be he kills the pain of his commander . I like the plain design of this paper.

Sometimes I have to organize myself Got this pic a few weeks before form Daniel (sorry): Oberst von Joeden, RIR 78

In that case it is interestingly a "VI" and a "IV" (as I hope it is to be seen on the pic). With regards, Komtur.

I don?t mean that there is an additional number, I believe the "II" to be seen on your star could be a latin 2, because as I can show now (at least I hope so) there is a "IV" on the pin of the pic below. With regards, Komtur.

Hi Wild Card, Hi Red Eagle, the star I can add here seem to have a latin "4". Therefore I interpret the mark Red Eagle shows as a latin "2". But I have to send the pic later - the same problem, I am not able to atach it. Greetings, Komtur.

Sorry, I?m not smart enough to organize a link to my thread about this bar So please search for Roderich von Schoeler Greetings, Komtur.
