A very nice award document from Brunswick , what I can find out there was at least two German soldiers killed in WW1 named Jago . Heinrich Jago KIA 5.11.16 and Karl Jago 27.3.15 probably Auguste was married to one of them Christer

Thanks all , even a former NCO could walk around in Karlsruhe 1935 with a impressive chest Christer

Ouch these ribbon bars seems to live forever , after a time they reappear in new boxes and often with some extras , like shoulder boards some blurry pics , without connection at all to the bar or maybe a seal with initials .... I´m just waiting for the shocking truth, about the former owner of this bar

Yes , but was it the same with the Tirol medal , they are at least more uncommon to see on ribbon bars Christer

Here is a survivor from the 800 man strong volunteer force who fought in the Finnish Liberty War 1918 Hes name is Paulus Drewes and the photo is from 1921. He was awarded Swedish North Star Order Knight , Swedish Vasa Order Knight , Danish Dannebrog Order Knight , Norway S:t Olav Order Knight , Finnish White Rose Order Knight , Finnish Liberty Cross 3rd class wo Swords. The last medal was only awarded to 29 Swedish if my info is right. Christer

This came in today , not full of Top Notch Orders but still I think its nice , specially with the makers label on back. Does anyone know which Saxon Regiments who was on the Austrian front ? I suppose the Austrian /Hungary / Tirol combo peaks at that way ? Christer

Wow , wonderful Pics !

I have no name on the pic , sorry to say , nothing written on the back ....

Very very strange .... but the seller needs to pay a big selling fee to Ebay I suppose ? Christer

But Sweden didn´t only have Privates they also had Officers with great facial hair Here is a gallery of Hair , sorry meant Officers Colonel Carl Rosenblad born 1854 and started his career as 2nd Leut 1874 , and Colonel 1904 Here he is with some of his awards which were many ....

Here is a couple of more Swedish soldier from 1900-1910 approx I think these two are Hussars from K 7 The Crown Prince Hussars 1757-1927 Very nice uniforms in those days The second two are also Hussars , the left one I believe is from K 1 1806-1927 and the other soldier on the right is probably from K 5 Christer

He he , Chris I think the man making the uniforms in those days looked a lot at German uniforms Even our model 1939 looks very much like a German one (sometimes used by fakers ...) Christer

Here is mine , strangely I don´t have any Hamburg bars ..... A goal for 2013 !! First out Bremen and then Lübeck with a ribbon bar , and last one wich I showed here before but still unnamed .... I have one !! guy who got this and nothing more so far , but I can´t be sure that its him ... Christer

Ohh , sad to hear that he was killed I wonder if there is a RIR 70 Regiment story out there ? Quite impressing list of awards Thanks Daniel Christer

Hallo Rudi and Thanks , the cylinder was marked 900 so it was most probably a sword one with swords removed Pew , I saved some money there .... 306 Euro is rather expensive for a box an a half detsroyed MVK IIa x. Christer

Jeff , Thats him for sure ! Chris , super nice MVos I just looove them Christer

Aha RIR 70 ! Thanks Glenn Christer

Hi Jeff , I think I got him Gefr Anton Heinzl from Landsturm Infanterie Batallion Landshut The BMVK II X is dated Oct 6 1917 but I think there was often a time between award date and Award recieved. He was in Reserve Inf Rgt 12 earlier and 2 Sept - 24 Sept 1915 he was in Feld Lazarett Passau , later 14 Nov 1917 to % Dec 1917 in Feld Lazarett 95.

Just got this photo in the mail It has some writing on the backside and if I read it right ? Photo shows Major Ehrhardt Rgt Kom Res Inf Rgt 76 ?? 24 Nov 1916 he has EK II , EK I and ?? What do you think ? Christer

Hi Jeff , What Regiment was he in ? I cant read it on the award doc you scanned, I think I can find his war record I found just three soldiers with that name so far Christer

What do you think about this one ?? It was complete with box I was bidding but it went for 306 euro , is it real then it was a nice price .... otherwise pew
