He didn't live long to enjoy his awards: Dr. Arthur Wolfram Baumstark, born 25. Sept 1870 in Karlsruhe, died there 28. Mai 1921. Dr. med. from the University of Erlangen in 1895.

Not a specialist for Siamese awards, but from my source, Borna Barac's "Reference Catalogue Orders, Medals and Decorations of the World instituted until 1945. Part IV – Gold Book, P – Z.", p. 1760 to 1762, this type was used from 1873 to 1941.
I have never heard of any Siam design change in 1909?!
See here:

This should be KorvKap aD Martin von Cappeln (1882-1952). He held the Braunschweig, Oldenburg and SA3aX, as well as the Siam before the war. Also was Cdr of the Euphrat-Fluß-Abteilung, so must have had Turkish awards.

Did anyone here manage to get the bar? Otherwise, I am not sure it makes sense to add value by doing research for free.
I know this is a controversial issue which we have discussed times before.

Hello, I got this miniature chain of an Imperial German Reserve Officer, which also has a Siam Crown Order at the end. I have two questions for specialists:
- I understand that the design of the Siam Crown Order changed in 1909, is it correct that this is a pre-1909 piece?
- Also, as the 5th class (Knight) seems to have a silver medallion, would the gold medallion in my piece indicate that this is a 4th class (Officer)?
Thanks
Chris

I think I know who it belonged to.

Asking some specialists: I understand that the design of the Siam Crown Order changed in 1909, is it correct that this is a pre-1909 piece, like the two others above?
Also, since both Behrendt and Walther received the 5th class with what looks like a silver medallion, would the gold medallion in my piece indicate that this is a 4th class?

Gets tricky. How about Olt dL Richert (LD2, JK5) or Hptm dL Bingel (LD1, JK5), both from Lw Berlin?

Ah ok. My alternatives are:
- Hptm Miethner, Lwbezirk II Berlin, LD1, SK5
- Olt Sichler, Lwbezirk Halberstadt (Feldart. 2. Aufg.), LD2, SK5

Hello, two years ago I acquired this nice miniature chain of a Reserve/Landwehr Officer with both an Italian as well as a Siam Crown Order, and an Ottoman medal. Must have been in alive in 1934. The Siam order is not very common on German bars or chains. I find one good candidate:
Lt dR Willy Koßmann (Kossmann) from Lw Fußartillerie, Berlin V, 1. Aufgebot, with an LD1, JK5 and SK5
According to DOA born 12.8.1875, was Geheimer expedierender Sekretär with the German Gesandtschaft in Bangkok in 1908. Also had the "Commemorative Medal on the Occasion of the Longest Reign Celebrations of the Accession to the Throne of H.M King Chulalongkorn" (see: https://gmic.co.uk/topic/76456-miniature-medal-of-the-most-exalted-order-of-the-white-elephant/), but he probably couldn't find a miniature for that.
He was a diplomat in North Africa, Spain and Portugal, and later some kind of department head in the office of Reichspräsident Hindenburg, under Otto Meissner.
According to MyHeritage, an "Ernst Johannes Willy Kossmann", born in Berlin, died 17.7.1934 in Osterode/Harz, I guess this is him. But might have still received the Hindenburg.

Great find! I don't think we had him yet.

That's it for Hannoverscher Kurier in 1918. Too bad, had expected (much) more.

The Lt v. Unruh who received the HHOX in early June 1918 is Oskar von Unruh, student of theology. He got it on his deathbed:
There is an article that featured several candidates of theology who were KIA in "Sonntagsblatt für Minden / Die evangelische Welt", 1938:
