    1. Cartaphilus, no, not necessary. A guy á la suite of a Regiment did wear the rank he owns. If he is a young Prince with the rank of a Lieutenant or an old Herzog as full General. That very British sytem of a Regimental honorary COLONEL did not happen in German states. One could be CHIEF of a Regiment and could be a General. Best, Daniel
    2. Bow to the 3rd class and oaks to the higer classes were only awarded to prussians. Best, Daniel
    3. Please show us a pic of the whole bar. Best, Daniel
    4. Hello Peter, Nice one! I would guess, thats a Navy bar of a full captain or Konteradmiral. The Red Eagle 3 with bow And Crown was awarded only 315 times. 136 of them were still in whatever kind of Uniform in WW1. Best, Daniel
    5. Thanks!! Very interesting additional info. I did not know his 1st name and the Hessen connection. Arnolds Hohenzollern was gazettet in the Staatsanzeiger 7th November, never made it in the Militärwochenblatt. Best, Daniel
    6. Meurer just got a 2nd class from Mecklenburg-Schwerin, according my sources. Best, Daniel
    7. @ my twin; the last 2 ribbons are the Baden 1902 Jubilee medal and a Schaumburg honor cross 3rd class. @Claudius; who knows who married who in that times and how this bar made its way to the Kiessler family... there was no Prussian Officer Kiessler who comes even close to that Combo. Best, Daniel
    8. nice one! Adolf Karl Ludwig Theodor von Berckefeld, 1872-1920 Artillery guy, "finished" as half colonel, commanding FAR 183 in WW1. Best, Daniel
    9. Komtur, might that be Johannes Wilkens, born Bremen, 17.12.1883 He's got the Bremen Hanseatic 10.12.1915 as Lt in 3.Kp/RIR 75 Best, Daniel
    10. Holy sh... Thats definetly a fake. Completely impossible combination. Best, Daniel
    11. Nice pics!! Thats the Hessen military merit cross. Baden 1914?? Sorry. No. Best, Daniel
    12. Who knows? Adolf v.S. was already a Lt at the outbreak of the war. A Württemberg Cross of Merit would have been awarded to an NCO type, so it is simply impossible that he's got one. Best, Daniel
    13. Goodness, Claudio... Thats the normal jubilee medal which EVERY active Officer got... The painter was not overly careful. I am very sure, no bavarian would leave away his homeland jubilee medal but wear a foreign centenary medal. Best, Daniel
    14. Hi Twin, the publishing date in the Staatsanzeiger was the 07th. September 1918. The Staatsanzeiger was always a bit faster than the Militärwochenblatt. So he's got it alive and most likely already end of August. :-) Best, Daniel
    15. Bravery medals and merit crosses to non Austrians -yes. Best, Daniel
    16. Me. ? there are all, or most, of the Austro- hungarian awards files of WW1 still in the war archive Vienna. Unfortunately, for this case, I have had only access to the lists for Prussian officers. best, Daniel
    17. Hi Twin, thanks!! Franz Francke is a period mistake - actually not himself, but this award listing... He's got a Red Eagle 2nd class with cutlery in 1916. Best, Daniel
    18. Major Franz Bernhold from IR 125, lived 1873-1940 EK, Württ. Mil.Merit Order, Württ. Frederick knight 1st with cutlery, Württ. Officers long service cross, Bav.Mil.Merit Order 4th class with crown and swords, Saxon Albert knight 2nd class, Hamburg Hanseatic. Best, Daniel
    19. Hello friends, It seems there was a need for Tamara ribbons in germany in the 20ies and 30ies. This is from the stock of a well known German outfitter. 27mm, 15mm and 9mm Tamara ribbons. Funny enough, Mr. G. sorted these among "Russia", Best, Daniel
    20. It MIGHT be Lt d.R. Franz Schweitzer, the only Officer who got the Wilhelm Ernst Cross serving in MWK 221. Best, Daniel
    21. Fake news! If Rick said, Ludendorff did never smile, he did not!!! That are definetly photoshopped pics!! :-) Best, Daniel
    22. David, Lübeck and Bremen are in progress... Best, Daniel
    23. Hello twin, its the military merit order on the bravery ribbon. Best, Daniel
    24. Hello Friends, As I sm a ribbon bar freak too, I would like to show you one of my favourites. It is a Godet made piece and was worn by Colonel Christian von Pentz, son-in-law of Field Marshal von Hindenburg. In WW1, the then-Rittmeister von Pentz served as Hindenburgs Adjutant. Best, Daniel
