:unsure: Cool!!! Greetings Daniel

@Christophe, thank You!!!! Thats from a Regimental History? @Paul; the number was used by Franz Joseph Ophaus in the 1930ies - Klietmann did "copy" the number. Greetings Daniel

@Christophe; thanks a lot!!! Do You have any source mentioning him as Hohenzollern knight or a picture? He did as well geth the Albrecht ans Merit ORder with swords! Awesome decorated Saxon!! @Dave: Thanks a lot!!! @all; come on friends, lets continue! At the moment I have 7643 Hohenzollern knights, 410 more than Geile had in the 90ies. I am still missing 648 names :-) Lots of greetings Daniel

Hi friends, I waited a while to see "where the thread will go". As Rick L. always said, there are 3 types of ribbon bars - the good, the bad and the ugly. This one here belongs to the ugly. Only thing I would like here is a proper inspection of the back. The bar is odd but legit and it is even ID-able. I will give no more details until it found a final "home". Best regards Daniel P.S. Stogie - nice to see that You are still "alive" :-)

Hi Friends, next one will be the military awards of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. I hope, until springtime I am ready to deliver. If anybody is interested, please PM me. Greetings Daniel

Hi Christophe, nice gift!!!! BTW, that bar is from the collection of Willi Geile. Lots of greetings Daniel

Hi Rudi, niiice one - and I am glad that it found a good new home. BTW, I met "his Father" a couple of days ago :-) Greetings Daniel

Christer, I have again to say THANK YOU here in public for Your great efforts!!!!! Your help is really appreciated!! Greetings Daniel

Hi Christer, great job!!!!! That is VERY helpful! Can You please send me the list????? (Daniel-Krause-maz@gmx.de) Thanks a lot!!! Greetings Daniel

..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
