....this would have been my best guess too - but I am not shure

detail of the bar

...... of my navy saxon super hero ??? OK , not the big fighting awards on the breast but for a navy soldier a very nice combo.... I can see : - Prussia Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen - Prussia Centenarmedaille - SEHO cross of the order - Saxony Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen - Saxony Fríedrich August Medaille - ???????????????????????? + the pre-1913 DA-clasp photo is made in Danzig and from the medal bar it has to be before 1913. So , what could this last medal be??? Any input is welcome...

Unfortunately there are no writings , photographer studios or even anything on the reverse.... but I don`t think it is the same man... completely different eyes.... one like a good grandfather and one like a cool manager ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄHHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ........ Rick are you shure about Mr.Mater ??? I am just asking because on the reverse of my picture is written "Karl Schubert , Hauptmann , fiel in der Champagne 1915" ... and the writing is original old.....

äääähm............yes :blush:

the clasps were not attached to the medal but to the ribbon of the medal.... use the forum search function - there are a lot of topics and pictures about the china medal and its clasps

Hello all, anybody here who knows these 2 officers from the face? Nothing written on the reverse , all I can say is that the two pictures were made in China maybe between 1901-5 . The officer with the Pickelhaube wears a chinese double dragon around his neck !!! Any help is very welcome!!! thank you Heiko N°1 :

Army: - Peitang-Forts - Tsekingwan - Kalgan - Kitchou - Fouphing - Hophu - Huolu Navy , Marineinfanterie + Seebataillon: - Taku - Seymour-Expedition - Tientsin - Peking - Liang-Hsiang-Hsien - Nan-Hung-Men - Kaumi many different writings are possible because the clasps had all to be private purchased... for exemple: Nan-Hun-Men , Nang-Hu-Men , Tsekin-Kwan , Kitschou , Liang-Siang-Shien ...and so on Some inofficial clasps... : Nankuanto , Kuan-Tschang , Chouchouang , Tschang-Tschöngling.... any questions?

Yes this is a tram driver - but it is his actual job... did not driving the tram through france 1914-18... ;)

Thanks Rick for all that great info.... thanks Karsten for all your compliments Now Karsten, I could have said you that.... I had some guys for research where I saw missing orders in the list - great tool but not complete...

.....now Tilo that was a very fast transfer from the market to the depot interesting bar, I watched it too....

the bar...

...so I bring it to your eyes!!! What makes this picture so special for me is the Japanese Treasure in last place - I love the bars with foreign orders on it. Can someone tell me his rank or position please.... the photographer from Rostock was so friendly to put the year 1911 on the photo... enjoy !!! :jumping:

:catjava: Man you ARE magic !!!! :beer:

OH my god......... you have a name for that???? Unbelievable.... that`s not what I expected - thank you very much , great destiny...will try to find his story somewhere online :beer:

Can someone tell me please what that neck order is??? I am a bit nervous because it is the PLM shaped cross but who got two EKs and a PLM as only ww1 awards? Or is it some kind of Malteser thing without the breast cross (or breast cross hided behind the arm...) ? Or whatever...??? He has two awards for colonial service (KO4X and DSWA-medal with two clasps) and two awards for ww1 (EK1 + 2) - nothing else.... any comments are welcome!!! Thanks Heiko

OK...?

detail ... unfortunately the picture is a bit blurry around the medal bar area but I think the orders are good to see...

Today I want to show you something a bit freaky but very interesting in my eyes !!! Big cardboard photo of a Baden officer with nice 5 place medal bar (as far as I can see) totally NONCOM - and please note that the photo is made in June 1916 (middle of war) in Bruxelles (far away from home in enemy country!!!) - there is not even a simple EK2 , nothing from that war.... I think he is some kind of Beamter but I am not shure... any comments on this guy are welcome!!!

now.......... who is THE Udo Esch ??? Thanks for the "Wer ist`s" entry !!!
