For your pleasure - I found one more.......... Wirklicher Geheimer Kriegsrat Leutnant der Landwehr a.D. Fontane SEHO at the neck but a lot of nice stuff on the bar....photo is taken 1904 in Kassel

cool..................!!! This should be Georg because he weares 2 battle clasps on his china medal where my Georg was just on the way to... really a lot of heavy bling bling to wear !!!

...does this mean that my second photo is from 1903 or earlier?

...........sorry , no cousins in storage - only the brother again - some years earlier.... :rolleyes:

ahhhhh - Brothers................................ok let`s re-unite the family :rolleyes:

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - OK !!! again good and fast job!!! I give you a job as my personal archive guard.... One wide shot in the dark.................................... is Georg a relative of EGON von Gayl ?????????????????????

Next question for the magic gurus of gnomhausen......... High ranking officer with prussian crown neck order and a 1870 iron cross with 1895 oakleaves - photograph is taken in HALBERSTADT and the writing on the reverse says: " Georg 1900 beim Abgang nach China " (something like: Georg 1900 on the way to China) So, who is Georg??? Thanks for every information and help!!! Heiko

Please dont hate me so much........... Of course I had a scanner and it is simply out of order and I did not have the time yet to get a new one...... and Chip , don`t panic , you will see some more nice pictures from me from time to time.... my word on this!!!

WOW !!!!!!! Thank you very much for the name of Rocholl !!! Here is one more photo of him - not with Oldenburg pinback but with Oldenburg on the bar!!!

:jumping: Thank you very much Rick!!! Great and fast work as always !!! :beer:

foreigners yes, but not enough... bavarian soldiers got the normal full size MEZ2 during the colonial conflicts..... see the picture

reverse...

Hello all, here is my todays photo quiz - who is this officer? Photo is taken in Konstanz 1901 - but he has only prussian awards on his bar... only an italian crown order and the W?rttemberg breast cross are non-prussian.... on the reverse something is written but it is hard to read. Any help with rank , unit or name is welcome Heiko

.........thanks guys. I promise here and now to go and buy a new scanner next week !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are there any lists of MEZ1 / MVK to make some cross checks? I agree that this bar is rather courious!!!

OK.... I think we see the same...... last place is bavarian bravery , second from last is prussian war effort cross and in the middle is the EK.......... but are N?1 and N?2 really the MEZ1 and the Milit?r Verdienst Kreuz??? as you say , for this low rank..........?! I am very sorry , but I still have no scanner ( I know - I hate myself....) , so better pics are impossible at the moment , that`s the best my cam can do...

Hello all, got this very nice photo some days ago and was very surprised to see his medal bar - are there really THREE black-white ribbons first??? Shoulderboard shows a 1 , photograph is taken in Miesbach / Bayern Any information would be helpful , thanks in advance !!! Heiko

...and one more - this photo is dated 1907

..........and one from me for this very nice thread - enjoy!!! Heiko

....not colonies , that`s the regular uniform for field priests of some german states!!! But the David on the neck is great!!!! :speechless1:

:jumping: WOW - great photo !!!!! Are there more where you have got this one.... :rolleyes:

the clasps are 100% new made fakes - forget it..... :violent:

Cool down......... it is Generaloberarzt a.D. von Schlacht - in 1914 rank list still Stabsarzt Schlacht without the "von" in Infanterie Regiment von Alvensleben (6.Brandenburgisches) Nr.52

would fit for SOME awards from Mecklenburg............ we need to know : is it RED or is it PURPLE ??? I would guess it is purple - then it is a Mecklenburg long service cross (they had a lot of different ones for many service years but all the same ribbon...) and if it is red I would take one of the Mecklenburg Verdienstmedaillen as the best possibility
