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

it has 3 stripes, the 3rd one is just overlapped by the ribbon before. Maybe the outfitter did not have a proper half-size ribbon for that like for the other dec. so he took a original size one. Greetings Daniel

Yup, that is as well an nice group to fit. Festungsbau-Oberwart (not Rat) were the same types of Beamte like Zahlmeister. As far as I know, they are not in the Ranglisten until the corps of Festungsbauoffiziere were created. I check some Siekmanns, maybe they are in. Greetings Daniel

@ Heiko, Paymasters were former career NCO´s. They got their Long Service Award according their years as NCO. As Paymaster (Level 1st Lt) they were Beamte and not entitled for another LS Award until 1914. Greetings Daniel

Ohhhh...nice one! screams to be a Paymaster with KO4 and AEZ. Greetings Daniel

Hi Rudi, nice bar!!!! You need additional a Crown 2 with cutlery. Seebach got one as "retirement present". Greetings Daniel

Rudi, where is it??? Show that RARE beauty!!!!! Greetings Daniel

Schaumburg Lippe Jubilee 1907

Thank You! Show us more nice pics like that. :-) Greetings Daniel

First name Albrecht, born 1870 got RAO4, KO4, SA3a, SLH3 and WVK4 before the war, no wartime awards from any known rolls. Greetings Daniel

Niiice one!!! it is Hans von Boehn, 1853-1931, at the end General der Kavallerie Greetings Daniel

here it is:

ahhhhh......thats ODDDDD!!!!!! He was Saxon until 1912/13 and went straight in the Prussian Army as Major in General staff.... Usually the Saxons were "just" commanded to the Prussian institutions. Somehow he had a reason completely to swich over. I will check the Saxon Militärwochenblatt next days, maybe something turns up. Greetings Daniel

Which KS?

Nice pic of Schwertfeger! Heiko, he is no Saxon, where do You have that from? Munzlinger BTW is wrong. He retired as Colonel and got the MajGen promotion long after WW1. Got additional KO3, EK1, SA3X, SMK, ÖM3K Greetings Daniel

Hmmm.... actually, I did not see quite a lot of interesting stuff coming up last weeks. So guys, dig out all Your nice, medal bars, ribbon bars and portraits!!!!! Greetings Daniel
