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 His award of the Albrecht seems to be a unpublished one as well...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

The name is Hermann Mueller-Brandt Very nice bar. Best, Daniel

Hi, acc. to the award rolls, Koerner, Otto received the Albert Knight 2nd class with swords as Kriegszahlmeister Feldkriegskasse Etappenkommando 20 17.11.1916 The date for the Order of Merit is unknown to me. that was for sure in the last months of the war as not all awards were published anymore. Best, Daniel

Hmpf... I would not trust secondary sources to 100 percent. In a prussian newspaper I ve read about an NCO, who got the Militärverdienstkreuz- it was described as "goldenes Militär- Kriegsverdienstkreuz 1. Klasse" ? best, Daniel

Very nice and I am sure, eith a bit effort easy to ID. Best, Daniel

Peter, a very nice Godet set!!! Congratulations and David M. might get jealous. glass clear ID of a unique set of decorations. Louis Müldner von Mülnheim, he was born 1.4.1876 in Angermünde, died 26.4.1945 in Potsdam; in 1914, Captain, Adjutant of the 4th Guards Infantry brigade, later Company Commander in RIR 261, followed by an assginment in the General Staff, in 1916 ...drumrolls...he became the Adjutant of the German Crown Prince, got promoted Major, after the war he still served as the Crown Princes Adjutant and Chef of his Court Administration. Best, Daniel

Hallo Stephan, I remeber, I did discuss that bar with Rick on the phone. As he did say, a quite "more than odd" combination, which I would still consider as a put together bar. The kind of "flat bottom" mounting is not 100 per cent a sign for a fake, but more than unusual The sorting of the decorations is out of any rule or common-sense sorting I do not like the combo at all, it makes no sense for me. If I shall explain it more, I would prefer to do that under the old thread, not here. Beste Grüße Daniel

http://prussianmachine.com/aok/kluck.htm Lippe cross of honor 3rd class with swords. Old model, awarded from both duchies as a common decoration. Best, Daniel

Thanks a lot my friends! Great stuff! Lefebvre - no idea... there was no HEK for him. If he was an active Officer in WW1, there might be a chance that he is one of the few we are still missing. v.Merveldt - indeed a HEK, 3rd class with crown and swords. All the best, Daniel

Hi Christophe, Short answer - no. Best, Daniel

I can offer only 2 names... Johann Hiemenz, Lt d.R. Dr. Adolf Hoch, Lt d.R. Best, Daniel
