Komtur

with a little gift.

I would appreciate, if anybody could give some more information to Funcke .

It came in a box of Godet

and the back

I?ve got the following information to Funcke:

some earlier pics

1. Kommandeur der 1. Leibhusaren

Hallo Deruelle,

thank you for showing this interesting foto, I?ve nevers seen this too. If you?ve got the names of the persons with a number on the foto, could you be so kind and post them?

Greetings, Komtur.

Shame on me - I?m not very astonished. All the little signs: the bad quality of the pictures, the knew looking backside, the other rubbish sold by "hagekna41". But on the other hand 100% positive statements! I?m a beginner on Ebay - it has its own dynamic ...

I have to learn

I wonder why it make sense to "rebuilt" bars with original medals, when there is no profit? The single medals are worth about 200 Euro (Nimmergut-Katalog) and I paid about 150 Euro for this bar . The same stupid poeple destroy original bars

I?m afraid I go slowly

But thank you Saschaw for your comment

Infected by this little thread I was bidding on ebay successfully on the following sign of friendship between Saxony and Prussia

Now it is arrived:

Schjerning in Spa.

There are some more pics, but I will not enlarge this topic to much.

Note on this last picture of Schjerning the rare decorations: the commander cross and star with swords of the royal house order of Hohenzollern and the red cross medal 1. class!

It is a pleasure for me, to show you a few private pics of Otto von Schjerning. With great confidence the descendants of Schjerning hand over these pictures to me for some days and gave the permission for publishing.

Otto von Schjerning was as Generalstabsarzt der Armee im Range eines Generals der Infanterie the highest ranking medical officer of imperial Germany. As you can see on these pictures he belongs to the inner circle of the Kaiser.
