Very nice!

Thanks for your help.

Sovereign Military Order of Malta, Knight of Honour and Devotion (possibly Bailiff Grand Cross, given the size) The Equestrian of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, Knight Grand Cross He was certainly Roman Catholic. Also a member of the aristocracy given the grade of the Order of Malta.

Dear all, Does anyone know where I could obtain 16mm wide UK Order of Merit ribbon (military type)? It would be a miniature type ribbon I am looking for. Many thanks, Pierce

Thank you for clarification.

Was his final rank Oberstleutnant a.D.? What was his first name?

Many thanks for clarification.

Thanks for sharing. I assume these will only be issued to those in attendance?

Here is a group I have.

His actual ribbon bars.

Lovely medal bar. I have a ribbon bar with similar combination, minus the oak leaves.

I have similar suspicions. This bar and the one in the photo are definitely two different medal bars. This is supposedly Looff's medal bar.

Does the Crown Order on this medal bar have the 50 year device?

Depends when he was awarded it and his rank at that time.

Here is his entry in the 1926 Honour Rank List (Oberstleutnant a.D.)
