    1. 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
    2. So please show it! If You want to see a picture, go to Florida. Collection of Mark A. Greetings Daniel
    3. 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
    4. 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
    5. @ 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
    6. Ohhhh...nice one! screams to be a Paymaster with KO4 and AEZ. Greetings Daniel
    7. Hi Rudi, nice bar!!!! You need additional a Crown 2 with cutlery. Seebach got one as "retirement present". Greetings Daniel
    8. First name Albrecht, born 1870 got RAO4, KO4, SA3a, SLH3 and WVK4 before the war, no wartime awards from any known rolls. Greetings Daniel
    9. Niiice one!!! it is Hans von Boehn, 1853-1931, at the end General der Kavallerie Greetings Daniel
    10. 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
    11. 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
    12. 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
    13. Hi Timo, the rosettes with "silver wings" indicate a Commanders Grade. Rosette only is an Officers class. If the 3rd class has no Rosette - as to see at Andreas´ website - I would assume the 2nd class is the Officers Grade and the 1st class is the Commander Grade. So I am fairly sure we have a General here. Greetings Daniel
    14. Hi, Does the 1st ribbon has to be the ISM? A mere civil long service decoration in front of a MM and that other campaign stuff? Might that be as well a DCM or so? Greetings Daniel
    15. Hi Timo, You will hardly find ANY info on that. I was struggling with this (and another "brother" of Your bar :-) ) already for years.... Check Andreas website www.medalnet.net - he has some good info on the Cuban Orders, but for the decorations.... Greetings Daniel
    16. great!!!!!!! As the bar was "living" with me, I hab 2 other suspects - but this is simply CLEAR!!! Greetings Daniel
