Hmm, It really looks green .... maybe its the Cross for Fighting Group Oinonen I think that ribbon looks like that ? Thanks Jonas Christer

Last out for today is a fighter from WWII , maybe a Gebirgs jaeger ? KVK - Ostmedal - Libert Cross IV ? It is unusual to se the swordsfor the Liberty Crosses on German made ribbon bars. I dont know if they was difficult to obtain ?

sorry double post

Here is a soldier who maybe fought on the Italian Front ? and later in Finland 1918 EK II - Austr Bravery M - EhKr- Finn Com Medal 1918 - Hungary Com Medal

And a Sachsen soldier Ribbon bar with EK - FAM - Ehk - BraveryM 1st

Now a ribbon bar with a third combo EK II - EhrenKreuz - Bravery Medal 1st - Com medal 1918 Christer

Another medal bar , this time with EK II - EhrenKreuz - 1918 Com Medal

And the backside with 1918 Cross and 1918 medal

here is more Medal bars and ribbon bars connected to the war 1918 in finland First a EK II - Finnish Liberty Cross IV - Bravery Medal I st class The blue ribbon on the bravery medal is almost completely faded. This is an early bar without 1934 EhrenKreuz. Neither has he got the 1918 com medal Christer

Nice One ! I think Romania have the nicest boxes of all the Eastern Countries Christer

Aha, was this in your collection back in 2006 Chris ? I just found the EK doc , I have to check with the seller if there is more docs to the same man . Seems to have been a interesting career Thanks for the info I would never have found it in the archives Christer

1500 Euros of course an unusual EK I but still a EK I , what next ? 300 Euro for a Ehrenkreuz with a rare maker ? Maybe a EK II document folded in a strange way or written with red ink ? Heaven is the limit

Hallo collector friends , I could use some help in reading this document , a EK I awarded in 1919 by 5 Minen Such Flottille ? Can anyone transcrypt the writing ? Thanks in advance Christer

Thanks Dave and Bavaria , now it become a little bit clearer when I look through the old Bavarian Rolls. Normally it says JM or PRLM and now I know the difference , a interesting and often bypassed medal I think Christer

Fantastic work Dave Great to see the work on narrowing down the candidates to tjhe last one ! Christer

And speaking about Bavarian Bravery medals Did anyone se that original box for a medal on German Ebay ? sold for 546 Euro !! I knew that the medals are rare and suppose the boxes are really rare but still 546 E for a box ? And I thought the MVK boxes was expensive :cheeky:

Wow , thanks Dave ! its always interesting with a story like this . Wounded three times and back in service in the next war With the Hessian Bravery I can now delete him 100% The search goes on Christer

Hmm the search goes on , LtdR Freidrich Gesell was killed May 29th 1918 so probably one more off the list. Wich leaves me with "possible" 12 suspects to this bar with 5 hotter candidates from IR 91 and FAR 62. I must try to find a Regimential story for IR 91 and or FAR 62 maybe there are some clues in there Christer

Fantastic Pic Christophe And what a family , seems that everyone was in the military :whistle:

Hmm 2717 S:t henry Knight awarded , 584 Sa3aXmKr and about the same for SSRM I should find him So far I found 1 with all of the awards and SSRM but he was Major in 1924 and had a BZL3mEl also so probably not my guy . Does anyone know if there is a book with the S:t Henry winners ?

:cheeky: I have one of the few Christophe., I love phots showing unusual awards and hoped it was a SSRM on his bar . He shouldn´t be mpossible to find with SH3 , SA3aXKr , HHO3X and SSRM I think I have started the search , only about 2600 SH winners left ...... Christer

And the last possible clue , some writing on the back signed ??

And a close up on the ribbon bar !

Here is a new photo in my collection , a Wermacht Officer with wife and daughter 1941 , but what awards do her have ?? what I can see , and far away sure he was a saxon well decorated soldier in WW I , but that ribbon on his uniform Lokks like..... a Lifesaving medal ? I have never seen anything like it before .... Ok here is me trying to id the ribbon bar , and better pics will follow EK II - S:t heinrich - Albert Order Knight w Crown and swords , uhh Civilan Saxon Order ? , Albert order - KVK 1939 - ?? - Saxon Long service or ?? EK I on the breast so sure an officer in WW 1 . anyone ? Christer

And the front of the ribbon bar
