Hi Friends, Some air force bades are offered to me. As it is not really my theme, I?m normally "Imperialoid", I want to ask You for opinions. Here the pics: Best regards and many thanks Daniel

Hi Roman, from time to time people have a luck... I remember there was an article about the bar to the Hessen Medal long time ago in a German collectors Magazine. I will see to find it. Best regards Daniel

Hi Friends, I think this bar is worth a discussion. Wtbg. DA but no Wtbg. Order?, Baden 06 Jubilee but no Baden Order? 4 WW1 awards but NOTHING from Wtbg.? Best regards Daniel

In contrary to Priesdorff Bogislav von Kleist covers ALL Prussian Generals up to 1894. It is a HAS TO HAVE for everybody who deals with this theme. I will see to give You the bio. Best regards Daniel

Kleist has him, number 1756, Priesdorff not. 1888 z.D. Cdr of the 10.KavBrig, RAO2E, KO3, DA, 70, HL3a, HP2b, HMV, HW3, born 1833, died 1919, promoted GM in 1886 Best regards Daniel

very easy. There were 4 official variants of this medal over the time. Best regards Daniel

After thinking again and again I come with the following theory: - EK2 is clear Now 3 commander classes as unofficial ?Kleindekoration?: - Hohenzollern Commander with X - in the published rolls - W?rttemberg Crown Order commander with X - in the soon-published Wtbg roll - Bayern MVO 2 with X with incorrect silver swords - in the published rolls One more war decoration - Hessen Bravery Medal Another inofficial ?Kleindekoration? - Preu?. Crown Order 2nd class The others seems to be o.k. as: - Hindenburg cross - RAO3 bow missing - RAO4 with crown - W?rttemberg Friedrich knight 1st class - Preu?. XXV - Preu?. Centenary - ?st. MVK 3 with war dec. Under this circumstances it can indeed be the bar of MajGen Johannes Aloys Schabel. Best regards Daniel

... and not to forget his 4th Prussian Lifesaving award, the ONLY Hohenzollern knights cross on the lifesaving ribbon earned as full colonel in WW1. There wer only some dozend guys who received repeat awards. Veith was the ONLY Prussian with 3, late 4 decoratioins on that ribbon. I wonder, either this guy was that brave that he really put himself in the greatest dangers to save peoples lifes or he was surrounden by fools who always put themself in danger. Would loooove to see a pic of our good old Veith. Best regards Daniel

Hi Christophe, Hischmann, Ernst, then VFw (OffzSV) d.R. FR 40 received the Silver Merit Cross, not HEK3X on 20.01.15. Best regards Daniel

For the repeat awards concerung acts of lifesaving were for sure no written regulations existing. The Lifesaving medal was the "basic" one for every rank and status anmd it was already a very high decoration despite of his size, material and look. For repeat award were no higher classes available like for the Saxon medal in 3 classes. So if somebody did a 2nd outstandig act he received the next decoration who fittet his rank and status on the lifesaving ribbon. We had already discussions about that here in the forum and even exact award numbers of that kind of decorations were already sorted out. Best regards Daniel

I would like to hold it in my hands to get a better opinion. The combinations makes no sense at all. Peacetime blue ribbon in front of the Hindenburg, after that the double red eagle, another peacetime blue ribbon...what is that??? Best regards Daniel

Thanks, I?m just afraid, Heinz is his first name... Best regards Daniel

Hi Sascha, what the hell are You playing with ribbon bars??????????????????????????? Hurry up and send them to MEEEEEE!! The Schwarzburg one has ID potential. The Prussian with the white-black ribbon is absolutely common. 10 awards in that class in WW1 are everything else but nothing rare. With the right tools and rolls and ranklists it costs 10 minutes to tell the name. Best regards Daniel

Hi Guys, thanks a lot for the help!!!!! Acual "score": Willi Geile had in his first Hohenzollern Volume 7233 HOH3X-recipients I have actual 7575, that is 342 more confirmed (and 46 additional unconfirmed) recipients. Best regards Daniel
