Hallo Andreas. Danke. I do know that Pete made a list of soldiers who faught in Finland 1918. I could not find the name "Hermann Grössle" or "Hermann Größle" in that list. Is someone out there familiar with this name? Is he mentioned in rank lists? Is the name documented in military reports? In the document it is mentioned that the guy got a Liberty Cross No. 3 - that is ok. The cross on the bar is also a third class Liberty cross - but just for civilians - could it be, that the two crosses have been mixed up? Also the ribbon bar of the Liberty cross is wrong - it should not be red-white, but yellow-white...we all now that the Liberty crosses have been manufactured either in Germany or Sweden...could it be that the cross was just mixed up by the producer himself? Wrong cross and even wrong ribbon... But if it is the real cross on the real bar with the real document...it should be a unique group. Detlef

Hello fellows, this weird medal bar came across my eyes...as fas as I am concerned the Finnish Liberty Cross does not fit to the medal bar of a soldier who got the Hindenburg cross. The Finnish Liberty cross is a civilian one but is fixed to a military bar. Am I right? Or are there other opinions? Cheers Detlef

sorry, there is only one medal different to the medal bar which I can not identify (the fifth one).

to continue this topic, may be the theory of the two row bar is realistic, because the ribbon bar contains also two other medals which I can not identify. Pls look at the picture Regards Detlef

Hello, another Finnish medal which should be analysed by an expert is the following: Iron Cross Hindenburg Silesia Eagle Police / Treue Dienste in der Polizei 25 years Liberty medal bronce 1918 Finland Liberty medal silver 1918 Finland. Is it possible that someone got 2 Finnish Liberty medals...I think either you get bronce one or silver one? Am I right Detlef

I saw the medal once at an auction house...but I am wondering if it was spink or medalhouse...

Hello, here is a nice German medal bar...but without Iron cross. Why is there no Iron Cross? Anyone has a glue? Best regards Detlef

ok, thanks for the answer.

Hi, welche Auktionskataloge von Thies muss man kaufen, um sich einen Eindruck von der Seymour Sammlung zu verschaffen? Gruß Detlef

Could it be General der Gebirgstruppe Hans Kreysing ??

I do not know if it helps to identify, but besides the medal bar the miniatyre chain, the ribbon bar as well as the so-called "Knopflochdekoration" exist. At the moment unfortunately no pics.

Thank you all for your replies.

I will provide with pleasure some more pictures and still hope that the brave soldier will be identified. Regards Detlef

Hi guys, it is indeed a Schaumburg-Lippe Hausorden Kreuz 4.Klasse (OEK 1217). Regards Detlef

Hello collector-friends, in this case my research know-how was not for use. Maybe someone out there is able to identify the former owner. Regards Detlef

Hello collector-friends, the following medal bar was already presented by myself some years ago. I finally have a name for it: Prof. Wilhelm Dieck. Is someone able to get a CV of this Mr. Dieck? Regards Detlef

Sorry Deruelle, at the moment no close-up pic available..let us continue the topic in near future... Detlef

Hi everybody, is someone out there familiar with these two guys (especially the left one on the pic) - names would be nice; unoffical pic - maybe the first time seen in public...so enjoy. Regards Detlef

comment / question to post no. 57: why is the German-Finnish bar a fake? The two Finnish awards are at the end and there are two Finnish medals which could have been awarded for participation in Finnish Liberation war. Regards Detlef

but why does this seller has only positive evaluations?
