Ohhps I just realized that I looked at The Princely House of Hohenzollern Well well, now I hav eto wait until someone publish a list of the Royal House Knight orders ..... hmm probably a long wait. Well I hope they will have Internet connnection in Old Folks home too The bar feels good , smells good and of course doesn´t react on blacklight , it don´t have any of the usual bad signs of a fake bar. And since I´ve been collecting since stoneage ..... I´ve seeen quite a lot of fakes. have a nice weekend all , and hopefully you have less snow then me :cat:

Aha, I see that the Flash from my camera make the ribbons look much "worse" than in real life I will scan it tomorrow so the real colours show, it looks very nice , a olive green tab backside marked DRP and 100% not tampered with. This bar has been up on this forum before a couple of years ago , I will see if I can find the old thread I´ll be back :cheeky:

This bar has been out on the forum before, and now I bought it I thought I would give it a try to Id the owner of it Set my right if I´m wrong here , but my thoughts is HOH3X - EK II - LS - Peacetime BMVK ? - Schamburg Lippe Cross for Loyal service Ok , Schamburg Lippe Loyal Service Cross 2174 awarded to Officers hmm a lot of prospects But HOH3X 946 Awarded , somewhat better Then Ludwigsen says in " Prussian and other Imperial German award statisics" that primary candidates for the Lippe Cross was members of the Westpfalian Jäger Btl 7 . The hunt is on and the first suspect is : Lt Frhr Spiegel v.u.z Peckelsheim (I just love that name) He was an Lt 1913 in Westpfalian Jäger Btl 7 and got a HOH3X 26.7.16. A EK II is quite natural but could anyone find out if he had a BMVK or BMVO ? Now I have something to do during the looong vinter evenings in Sweden Christer

I thought I give another puzzle pic Two man on Scharnhorst , I dont know the year but it says on the back IO and there was only four IO during Scharhorst live... 01.1939 - 09.1941: Kapitän zur See Günther Schubert 09.1941 - 03.1942: Fregattenkapitän Hilmar Schroeter 03.1942 - 04.1943: Kapitän zur See Helmuth Gießler 04.1943 - 12.1943: Fregattenkapitän Ernst Dominik The question is , which one is it one the photo ? Both Officers have the HIgh Seas Badge and EK I , EK II , I think the IO also has a 1914 EK II ? any Scharnhorst gurus out there ?? Christer

Got this Photo in my mail today , but who is it ? He has EK I 1914 and 1939 and Uboatbadge 1914 , and on the back feldpostnr is for Kreuzer Köln ? Any ideas ? I was thinking about Otto Ciliax but did he has any connection to Köln ? Í have found only 4 German WWII Admirals that had U boat experience during WW I Walter Warzecha Alfred Saalwächter Wilhelm Marschall Otto Ciliax Now I put my bet on Wilhelm Marschall , he was ombord Gnesnau during the invasion of Norway and the seller states that this pic was taken on a big ship in Norweigian waters... or Alfred Saalwächter ?
