The ribbon bar and the medal bar do NOT belong to the same guy. The ribbon bar belongs to Korvettenkapitän Edmund Wachtel. Best, Daniel

No higher class with swords of the other Prussian Orders. "Only" EK1 and plm. but a lot of non-Prussian stuff too... HEK1X, AK, BZ1X, BMV1X, BrK2, BH, LüH, LK, MMV2, WF1X, TI1X, TH Best, Daniel

Sorry to say so, but I do not belive, that this is an original contemporary bar. A bit too much of everything and as far as I see - a flat bottom bar, 99,5 percent of this style are reproductions. Greetings Daniel

I think no. The SS long service award was only given to Verfügungstruppe and Totenkopfverbände guys, not members of the general SS. Best, Daniel

Bulgaria, Bravery Order 2nd class

I have EKRK, DKiG, SH3, SV3bX, SA3bX, EK1Sp, BMV4X, VAs, ISA for him in my files. Best Daniel

The 1906 wedding badge is well confirmed as he is wearing it and he is on the invitation list of the party. 🙂 For the Hansa crosses - yes for all 3. Bremen 16.11.1915 Lübeck 11.12.1915 Hamburg - date unknown ...and you may add: BMVGKX, HT, LK, MMV1, MStMV1, MStMV2T, REKj1X, SA1gStX, SMK, WVK1X, WK1X, BT2, ÖEK1K, ÖM1K, TH 🙂 Best, Daniel

webr55 is right, definetly v.Cappeln. Best, Daniel

Hi, yes to the plm-oaks, no to the RAO Grand cross. "except" of the EK1 and 2 and the plm with oaks he did not get more from Prussia in WW1. But he got some other blings from Anhalt, Bremen, Lübeck, Saxony and Austria Best, Daniel

He served only in the Prussian Army. Infantry regiment 115, General Staff and ADC to Willy2 Best, Daniel

By the way, number 8 is a brunswick Order of Henry the lion 4th class. He did not get a Friedrich August as a officer candidate 🙂 This would show up in the Prussian Army lists. His hessen Bravery Medal is the right one, believe me 😉 Just checked my files, he did indeed get both Bulgarian orders in the Offiers class. Why he did wear the Alex after the Military Merit might have been his decision, even if the rules were different. Best, Daniel

The last 2 are both bulgarian. Military merit order and Order of Alexander. 5 is no Saxon merit, but a Wuerttemberg Frederick knight 1st class. 7 is a hessen bravery medal, the saxon Friedrich August was never ever awarded to an Officer Best, Daniel

Hello friends, Lets keep this thread alive! Here is my newest mini chain. Best. Daniel

Nice find! Brings as well a first name for Lt Scheuß! Best, Daniel

Uwe, Lindow! Karl Emil Lindow, war im "normalen Leben" Oberpostrat. Viele Grüße Daniel

I do agree, that looks quite unique!! Best of luck, Daniel

Thats interesting info!! Thanks Nevertheless, the MilKab file has his Hohenzollern as "Lt d.Red b. Stabe des Kampfgeschwaders d.OHL" - nothing about the in his CV... Best, Daniel

great stuff, unbelievable!!! About Paul Wolff - his HOH3X was listen in the Zentralblatt der Bauverwaltung 17.08.1918 as Regierungsbaumeister in Danzig, unfortunately no military assignment listed...so I wonder if he migt be the Hptm d.R. in FAR 20... Tiedje is interesting, mentioned as Führer Sturmabteilung - I had him at the KaGOHL 2... Best, Daniel

thanks all!! Matty, that Hertwig is quite odd.. no HOH or HEK for him in my files and in the "usual" sources. I am fairly sure, that we should have all the non-Prussian recipients from the MilKab file... His award of the Albrecht seems to be a unpublished one as well... Best, Daniel

Hi Webr55, thanks a lot!!! Wolff is indeed a pricely one. Bitterberg I had a first Letter "H"...which might be wrong. Triep - no idea...no princely one. Schultz - must be the RIR 13 guy...and no idea who is Effermann.... viele Grüße Daniel

Love it. Here are some of mine: Wagners are very common, Hoffstätters turn up a handful of times a year, Deumers are extremely rare. Best, Daniel

Hello new world, thanks a lot! Do you know where I can find that Info? Best, Daniel

Amazing stuff!!! Great! A question for the experts, are there any award lists for WW1 for the Bulgarian Orders available? lots of greetings Daniel

Looks good to me as well. Still no wearer IDd...hopefully someone will turn up. Best, Daniel

Stogie, you are right. Modern stuff. All the best, Daniel
