Hmm , the belt looks very similar to a Swedish Officer belt from 1939, I have to take pics of mine and compare them. I?ll be back or maybe someone knows direct? Christer

:cheers: Very Nice and professional display! Now I have some new ideas I?m looking forward to more pictures of this super wall Christer

What uniform is he wearing ? Austria ? I haven?t seen a armbadge like this before Christer

:love: Ahhhh, they are soo good I could eat them! Just wonderful, I think Brunswick is the Ferrari among Imperial states Christer

:cheers: Wow Thanks Wilco! Looks like there is quite a lot of Honour crosses in the Netherlands Wonderful pics, I will update my homepage and of course give you credit when I use your pics. Best regards from the north Christer

And now I got a Document for the Gelb-Blauen Bande as well Awarded to Otto Sievers in March 1917 doc number K 1184 ( I have for a Fighter from June 1917 with nr K 2652) And now as Indiana Jones hunting for treasures I will go hunting for a first class Or if my wife find me first I will go hunting for a new vacuum cleaner He he All the best from Sweden Christer

:jumping: Great Pics Platoz !!

Aha , I bought it from a seller named " gruenauge68 " with over 3000 pos feedbacks ? Maybe he has bought it from Austria earlier? This austrian Frankenstein dealer is everyway now, and he getting better all the time. Soon we cant trust anyone or anything Maybe in a couple of years it all be like 3rd Reich stuff = 90 % fakes..... Thanks god I collect other areas also Christer

Next pic is of a Kriegsmarine officer who has U-boat experience in WW1 !! EK II , HEK and U-boat badge from WW1 and a Coastal Art badge from WW2 He looks a little bit worried, maybe he was in France , June 1944 ...... Christer

Two more photos came in to my collection yesterday. First one is a Saschen who don?t care much about the EK first rule .... I think it is a S:t Heinrich Medal first and a Friedrich Albert next before the EK in third place Any guess what regiment ? Pic taken in L?bau Christer

:jumping: Thanks Rick and Steve, mystery solved Christer

And since my Crappy Canon scanner ( yes I admit I don?t have a n Epson.....) does so BAD pics I tried to take a photo with my camera of the backs instead ( sorry to say the camera is a Canon too) Christer

And the back of the last one ! Christer

And here is the last ribbon bar , an Austrian fighter with one odd one ! Bravery + Karl truppen Kr + HEK , Long Service + Bulgaria com medal + Hungary com medal + ?? Russia ?? Hmm what could the last one be ? Christer

And the back Christer

The second one is a real mystery (at least for me) EK II (no problem) + ??? black /red/white ??? + HEK Fighter + Long service + Hungary 1914-18 + Siam Crown Order Thats an interesting combo Christer Ha, I think I got this one " ??? black /red/white ??? " With the dark blue backside it could be Freikorps Ehrhardt Marinbrigade , Willhelmshafen 1920 A sea officer ? who got a crown order from Siam ? A navy visit ? Hmmm Christer

And the backside ! At least the two first ones looks , feels and smells like orginals, the third one is of the tab back type but dosn?t look to be messed with Christer

Theese three just landed in my postbox And as always I am confused.... When you thougt you have seen everything there is always new strange combinations First out is a Non-fighting ( I think) Bayern 1905 jub ? + Preuss VerdienstKreuz + ??? + HEK NC + ? ? + Long service of some kind 3 out of six .... Help , what is it ? Christer

Wow ! Great Info Glenn, I have never heard of the 1918 K U K ranglist , Fantastic G?sta Bruzelius was in the Army reserve in 1949 and he had two daughters what I found out so far, one of them is still alive 84 years old. I will try to get more info about this Swedish Austrian fighter. Thanks for all help Christer

:jumping: Very Nice Bolgarin I wonder how rare theese are ? 473 awarded I have heard, but in the last two year I have been offered or Seen 4 documented sets for sale. I wonder of there is fake documents out there Christer

And here is the back, there was aloose thread not belonging to the bar on the back. And of course nothing under the UV light All the best from Sweden Christer

:cheeky: Non Combat ribbon bar has arrived ! And it really looks and feels good, it feels OLD by age opposite to the Austrian OLD by oil or dirt treatment I hope the Pics are good enough, its tough to get good pics with art light You can see how the Long service ribbon has been bleached by sun during many years, the real colour is behind the 1870 medal . Christer

:cheers: Extremely Beautiful Medals Kapitular !! I have to get your book asap Best Regards from Sweden Christer

Aha, Thanks Andy there is the Mecklenburg connection ! And Rick this is the "best" pic I could get on the pinback **###666 Canon Scanner Did it help ? Christer

And here is the inside of the box from Souval If I am correct this would be a 4th class award ? The regulations for this award seems to be a real A real heavy thing this ! Christer
