Denmark Danish breast star
Daniel Krause replied to JBFloyd's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Niiice thing!!!! Actually, now I am limited in my English. It is a star of an Abbess of the Danish Ladies Foundation Wall? at Seeland Quite RAARE!!! Here is an embroidered early version: Best regards Daniel -
Actually he MIGHT have reached that rank and we do not know. In the Weimar time they did not publish character promotions anymore. Who was it - I think Schleicher - we know he was a General der Infanterie from his gravestone! Glenn tried to find his promotion date for quite a time and did not find it. Best regards Daniel

I cannot say a lot about the uniforms, but from the awards we can still see something. Guy at the left with medal bar is clearly a W?rttemberg guy, most likely a full colonel, I guess WF2b around the neck, WK2c is the pinback, 1st pos. at the bar will be an old style WM3 from the 1870ies. Guy at the right side with medal bar is a Prussian, I suppose a half Colonel or fresh full Col. EK2 1870, RAO4 and the usual prussian stuff in combo with the pinback WK2c. I would guess this was a manoeuver of the XIII. (wtbg.) Army corps. Maybe a look in the fitting ranklists between 1897 and 1906 might I the 2 Officers. Best regards Daniel

Dear fifat, before You see more problems where no problems are... The Order around Feldmanns neck does not have the forn of a Crown Order, it IS one. The simple 2nd class was worn around the neck without a star and was awarded usually to full colonels and characterized Major Generals. The 2nd class "with star" was something different and had a star as the name suggests. It was awarded either the Star to the already awarded 2nd class or the whole set to Major Generals and younger Lt Generals. In WW1 were awarded with swords: 98 2nd classes with star 26 stars to the already awarded 2nd class 641 simple plain no-star 2nd classes Feldmanns KO2 with swords was gazetted in the Milit?rwochenblatt at the 28th of October 1916. ...and maybe to solve the problem with his 2 rank pips.... What about the idea that this in an upgraded pic as he was still a colonel and later the Generals collar boards were "airbrushed" in. Would not be the first time that a pic was "promoted". Best regards Daniel

Hi Friends, What are You screaming on that catalogue? What would You guys have done better outside Your special knowledge covering Your collecting interests? That book was done in a 2-men-show, not by 4000 experts on their fields! It is one of the best Auction Catalogues I?ve ever seen since Thies is really falling down with the quality of the texts. At least nearly everything was properly described, quite a lot of interesting info in there which I do normally not expect in a simple sales catalogue. For every piece there are lots of info about more literature where to find out more. The guys who did the catalogue DID KNOW THEIR STUFF, otherwise I want to see anybody of You having knowledge about orders and decorations from all over the world. And to joke about the "ID-tips", how many from US here have the knowledge to DO proper ID?s and not just to ASK for? ...just my 2 cent... Best regards Daniel

Hi Christer, last ribbon is a Baden 1902 jubilee medal. No red eagle. Otherwise You are right. EK1 might be, Brunswick 1 not necessary. The absence on any other pre-war awards except the last 3 allows some conclusions. He was either a Baden native or at least serving with a Baden formation in 1902. If he was an officer he was most likely a Captain in 1914, Major middle of the war and probably a ret. LtCol in 1919/20. It would as well be possible that he was an NCO, but this is more theoretical. Awards from 4 different countries in WW1 were usually a sign for a staff type Officer unless our guy was maybe a kind of a secretary on a higher command. 3rd possibility is, that he was a General with some more stuff worn d the neck. But I think to put a name on him will be quite difficult. - No way to tell which Mecklenburg award was in 2nd place. Schwerin? Strelitz? - Oldenburg rolls still unknown to me, maybe Kapitular is working on that - Brunswick rolls do not exist......... Best regards Daniel
