Still a second short information about my book:

What a warm welcome! Thank you so much. I am very happy, to have joined this forum! Kapitular

The L?beck lifesavingmedal was awarded from 1882 to September 1918 as a not portable decoration, 1 medal in gold and 86 in silver. From 1919 to 1933 the medal was portable with a ribbon, 55 pieces in silver. My list includes the name, the profession an the date of issue. Best regards, Kapitular

I did not knew, that so many persons were busy and working hard such a long time with the rolls of the German states. For more than three hours I studied all the questions, answers and remarks and now I am a little bit tipsy. Such a nearly unbelievable effort!!! If there is still any interest, I can offer on micro-film the rolls of all lifesavingmedals from L?beck. The same rolls from Lippe-Detmold and Lippe-Schaumburg you will find in my book on the page 76 to 82. The still deeply impressed Kapitular

is that a Stoffabzeichen next to his EK 1? Welcome to the club. No "stoffabzeichen". Somebody tried to add the Friedrich August cross first class on the negative. Kapitular

Hello "Roll Gnome" thank you for your welcome. What a wonderful name! I like it very much! The rolls of oldenburg are very different. Some do not exist, but many of them you can use in the "Staatsarchiv " in Oldenburg. There are still several rolls in Eutin in the "Hausarchiv" of the family. To use it, there is a speial permission necessary. At the moment I am listing all members of the houseorder PFL. More than 6000 names and dates, I have nearly finished the half of them. Actually I am still a little bit ill, but this work will be coninued next year. In the meantime everyone should feel free to contact me with all questions, as far as Oldenburg and of course the lifesavingmedals are concerned. Friedhelm Beyrei

A very attractive medal. Several years ago I had a piece in my collection, not in silver, but in bronce for the servants. The coronationsyear of this medal was not 1883, but 1888. I asked Dr. Klietmann about this wrong year, but he had no idea. Kapitular

Very interesting and extremely rare, the miniature of the officercross from Oldenburg. Klapproth got this cross in 1917, january 25th.

For more details about the Imperial German lifesavingmedals you can have a look in my book: Friedhelm Beyrei? Ehrenzeichen deutscher Staaten f?r die Rettung von Menschenleben Norderstedt 2006 You will find there nearly all informations about these decorations. Best regards Kapitular
