Oh, I "missed" to mention something: the (eBay) seller of the Frackbar and Christer's 2nd ribbon bar was

"am-militaria"...

Guys, run away and hide... faster!

Sorry Christer, but that is one more eCrap bar.

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

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

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

Hi my Merit Order has arrived !

And its a beuty, I am now combing through all Swedish Rolls to look after a possible owner

So far I only found two paople who had this award , but only covered 1928-1934 so 4 more years to go !

Christer

:jumping:

Wow , Thanks Andy and Glen. Now I have to find out more about Art Rgt 403 and what connection they had to Mecklenburg ? Or maybe its only von Bassewitz that came from Mecklenburg..

Many thanks again, more research to do

Christer

And the backsides with their names and strange Rgt number ? Or is it something else

Christer

And here is one more pic from the same Regiment , the man i the middle I can read as Major Hardt

Backside will follow !
