Hmm, strange one this, I´ve looked for Soviet ones but the biggest Mortar was 240 mm and it dosnt look a bit like the pic But I agree that it seems to be at the Eastern front , but what in heavens name is it I found another candidate ! 38 cm schwerer Ladungswerfer This gun does not exist today what I can find and I haven´t found any pic of it yet .... maybe ? Christer

Could it a KARL Mortar ? I can´t find any good pics from the front of that one ..... KARL was made in 60 cm and 54 cm if my info is right ? I looks really awsome Christer

Here is the pic of Ernst von Hülsen , Capt in 1918 Christer

Got this Photo recently, but do it show ? Is it one of the gigantic mobile Howitzers ? Or is it some super mortar ?? Nothing written on the back Christer

Hmm , this was strange There was not may 1 st class Liberty Crosses awarded in 1918 to Germans but here is one name ? Kapt Ernst von Hülsen , I will try to enclose a pic of him in 1918 tomorrow ( my Excel is giving a hard time right now) Christer

Thanks all for the interesting discussion I will mail the pic to the SHAEF Vet site and see if can get some info there , I´ll keep you updated Here is a better scan EPSON) of the medals and ring Christer

:jumping: Aha , Then I can cross out some candidates ! The search goes on Big Thank you Christer

Thanks all for your help with this photo I searched the net for SHAEF but could only find some info, there was 1495 US officers i April 1945, the question is, if this pic is from 1946-47 Was he Colonel in 1945 ? I found some Colonels at SHAEF 1944-45 Dan Gilmer Howard A Malin Emil C Boehnke Charles H Wilson Ford Trimble Wilbur S Elliot Alan B Jacobs Carter Burgess Walter C Pew John B Sherman J.B. Moore E.K Clark F. E Frazer Now I have to search theese names to se if anyone match the photo Christer

Great work ! Any moore to be published ? I thinking on Hansa Kreuzes , Würtemberg ? Christer

:jumping: Thanks Jonas, det was quick ! Now I know a lot more of this officer , maybe there are some other US specialists out there who can Id him ? Jonas and thanks again Christer

Wow , Liberty Cross wo Swords 2class 1918 is not very common and given to a German could make it possible to Id I have most of the names for the 2nd Class 1918 but not all But here is a couple of Germans who got it Hans Ulrich von Kotze ( Military Attaché Finland) Hans A A Goldbeck-Löwe ( Worked at German Embassy ) Christer

A new photo in my collection. Pic is sellers from the auction , big and very sharp pic of a Cavalry Colonel , but what unit ? Anybody out there who know Us Uniform insigna, and what medals does he got ? I´m used to id Imperial German ones but here I´m completely lost Christer

And a new non combat ribbon bar to the collection They are far between ..... But here a Bavarian ? Ludwig Kreuz - EhrenKreuz - RettungsM - Luftschutz To bad its impossible to id such a bar, I would love to hear his story Christer

But some people still have money Se Theese auctions in Sweden right now , rare Finnish orders , bid now about 500 Euro a piece ! someone got 1000-1200 Euro to spend Probably going back to Finland http://www.tradera.com/FINSK-MEDALJ-WW-II-auktion_292201_12134079977 http://www.tradera.com/FINSK-MEDALJ-WW-II-auktion_292201_121340769 And yes I know how many that was awarded ....... And gone to the same buyer for approx 1400 Euro Christer

Aha, Thanks Sergio thats explains the Bavarian connection So now I have only a couple of Tousand possible names ...... Christer

Hi all, here is some better pics of this mysterious ribbonbar If number four is the Bavarian Sanitets Cross for home service , and no five is Bulgarian Bravery I lean towards Finnish Bravery 1918 ? on last place The question is , was he a Bavarian ? There isn´t that many Bavarians with SEHO listed..... A interesting one Christer

I suppose this is from bavaria, but what is it ?? Some sort of NCO comrade organisation Never heard of B.U.O.V before Christer

thanks everyone, so this photo is probably during training on some small uboot in the baltic sea. christer

I bought this ribbon bar from a forum member, (hope he dont mind I borrow his pic ) First ribbon is EK II , SEHO , HEK, but then ??? my thought was the Bavarian "Sanitets Kreuz für Heimat" a Bulgarian ? and last ??? TR Red Cross ? When I get it I will post better pics but I thought I could give you a teaser first Christer

:cheeky: This is a shot from one of the worst war movies ever "Commando Attack" from 1968 A joint venture between Spain and Italy, a disaster as movie but I couldn´t spare you the pic of the SS Officer with a most impressing ribbon bar !! Belive me , everything in the movie is as good as his ribbon bar Christer

What happened with the Scwarzburg Rolls ? They were 99% complete in 2008 , anyone christer

Maybe a little off topic Since I didn´t bought this at Gunzenhausen but I thought it would fit among the others from Schwarzburg A Würtemberger with ? Do you think I should replace the missing swords ? But I suppose they could be silver or gold and no way to tell which.... (seller pics) Christer

Welcome to the forum and Bulgarian Awards collcting Agresto That is nice awards you show , and the RedBanner labor with a very low number is I think we will see more from your collection here in the future Regards from Sweden Christer

Hallo Valter ! Very Nice Order What I can see both the Order and the case is original and the case is the right one. And the cases dont have any recess,they just look like that Christer

Interesting thread on WAF, and what a buy ! Did you see that cross on Ebay and how much did it sell for, Wild Card ? I wish I could find bargains like that Christer
