..and I can confirm his BMV3X. Greetings Daniel

I would like to hold it in my hands for a proper inspection. I have some serious doubts about it. It might be that the bar alone os real, but single decorations are at least partly exchanged. Why? - the Red Eagle is a crappy "wearers copy" - the Hohenzollern seems to be golden; why to put one awarded piece and one self purchased next to each other?? - the Ernestinian looks silver gilt, at that time it should have been awarded I would expect a solid golden one - the Saxon albert knight 2nd class seems to be a quite low class on that bar. Usually foreigners got one step higher than native Saxons that time, so I would at least expect a knight 1st. Greetings Daniel

Hi Peter, please show us the reason for Your question Greetings Daniel

He is a Feldwebelleutnant. See the NCO stripes and button on the collar. Greetings Daniel

Superb pic, Rudi, anything with the Star of Brabant is ultrarare!!! Viele Grüße Daniel

indeed Kummer from GR 10. He received the Saxon-Meiningen KREUZ für Verdienst im Kriege 6th July 1915. Greetings Daniel

I would say that is Felix von Bomhard from the 2nd Chevauxlegers Regiment. Greetings Daniel

Schneider received the Zähringer Lion Order 16th of November 1917. Unfortunately "Schneider" is such a common name, that I cannot say "which" of the numerous Schneiders he is among the published Hohenzollern awards. Greetings Daniel

yes. War time, Colonial time and Sea time for the Navy counted double for Imperial Long Service awards. Greetings Daniel

Ouch!!! But a nice and rare piece where You can see the construction of that Order. Beste Grüße Daniel

Hi, very nice set!!!! ID is quite simple in this case. Richard Nesselhauf born 1880 was captain in IR 18, the Adjutant of the Prussian Training Mission for the Polish Army, retired as Major. Got additional the EK1. KO4, BZ3bXE, SA3aX and HH are confirmed for him. Greetings Daniel

Nice one! Definetly made by Godet. Greetings Daniel

Hi, thats a Prussian Red Eagle Order 3rd class with bow (indicates that the guy held before the 4th class) But I have some doubts about this bar. I would like to hold it in my hands for a proper inspection. Greetings Daniel

You are always welcome! Greetings Daniel

Hi Christophe, thats Col. Max Bauer. Greetings Daniel

Nice pieces from long ago as we has still Engineer Brigades!!! Their old barracks are still in use; nowadays "occupied" by a signals btn. Viele Grüße Daniel

Hi Sascha, I have a name for it and told it already to Mike in private. No ID here in the public as long as the owner of the big bar is not known. Viele Grüße Daniel

Hi, thanks Sascha and Mike for the additional pics. I am definetly sure that there was another award between the EK2 and the misplaced War Aid Cross on the REO ribbon. It looked already like a perfect Godet bar to me but the pic from the back did proove it. So somebody removed the Hohenzollern knight with swords. So please now enlight me, who has the medal bar and who has the ribbon bar? Mike, You have the ribbon bar and who knows has the big bar? Reason for my question is, I do lot like to make people happy by "increasing the value of their bars with a semi-prominent name" just like that. Lots of greetings Daniel

Hi Mike, I would like to see a reverse pic of the bar and some more details on pos. 1 and 2. It looks to me like the 1st 2 awards are different sewn on than the others. Too far away from each other as if there has been a 3rd dec. betwee nthe IC and the RAO ribbon. Greetings Daniel

His first name was actually Johannes - short Hans; that explains the use of the "H". Baden Zähringer Lion Order 4th of January 1917. Sorry but no more details from my side..., Greetings daniel

He was awarded the Saxon Albert Order knight 1st class with swords 15th of june 1915 Greetings Daniel

Claudio, Your new 2 BIIIG ones are really AMAZING!!! Who was he? No prince, no General, a "simple" Captain at a Cadet School! Karl von Flotow, born 1873, in 1914 Capt at Kadettenhaus Karlsruhe, Major a.D. after WW1. Had RAO4, KO4, Joh, HEK3, AB3b, MG3, OV3b, EH3a, SLH3, DD3, RumK4, SE4, SMV1 before the war, no idea what he did in WW1 and if he got more awards. Greetings Daniel

TsM is the old abbreviation for the silver peacetime Liakat. Greetings Daniel

nice one!!! Prussia+wartime-only bar of Cdr Franz Christoph Schroeder. The Colonial Medal is for Venezuela, Mecklenburg is indeed Schwerin. He had as well a EK1 and the Oldenburg Cross 1st class. Not shown are his pre-war foreign orders, Siam Crown Order 4th cl, Turkish Osmanie Order 4th cl. and the Turkish silver Liakat. Greetings Daniel

So please show it! If You want to see a picture, go to Florida. Collection of Mark A. Greetings Daniel
