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

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

Here is the next one ....

Belive it or not , but it is a Fracken Spange . Now very very aged .

Ok, when I look at mine , it seems that I compete in "the ugliest of the year "

The first one isn´t that bad , but wait for my next contribution ....

First one , a little bit aged but still worn with pride (I guess)

And here a more unusual combo ,

a XII " Treue Dienste bei der Fahne " long service medal , than a Non Fighter EHK and last a Civil 25 year Cross

What do you think could be the story of this guy ?

Christer

A brother to yours here Chris After 1934 , and a real cheap ugly mounting ..... but maybe he didnt have a lot of Marks in those days ...

Do you think they are printed or just photocopied on old paper ?

Christer
