      Great work! Here is a 1932 article relating to a Josef Jans (b. 1894). I cannot find him in the MWB or any other publications from the war era.

      Hello,

       

      does anybody have more info on Jans?

      I have a Lt d.R. Jans in Feldluftschiffabteilung 21.

      Maybe him?

       

      Best,

    2. Hallo Deutschritter,

       

      Thats not an RAO around his neck, but a Württemberg crown.

      here I can add someof his WW1 stuff:

       

      Hohenzollern Komtur with swords

      Bav. MVO 2 with star and swords

      Lübeck Hanseatic cross

      Saxon Albert Grand Ctross with swords

      Ernestinian Grand cross with swords

      Meiningen war merit cross

      Schaumburg cross for loyal service

      Württemberg Crown Commander with star and swords

      Austrian Military merit cross 2nd class with war decoration

       

      Best regards from Potsdam

      Daniel

    3. nobody understands this decoration :-)

       

      It was intended to reward old middle class officials which were already awarded with the Cross of the Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen to give them the opportunity to get one gong more after 40+ years of service and it was intended to reward "upper-middle-class" officials after around 25-30 years of service which would normally already be eligible for a Crown Order 4th class. So it should relieve a bit the Crown Order so that the CO4 could be given to that guys as retirement award later.

       

      The bar indeed is quite interesting, not to say weird;

      We have here a Bavarian Officer level Reserve or Landwehr guy, whoc had a connection to Schaumburg AND was in a Civil officials profession as mentioned "Upper Middle Class", so whatever kind of Assistent or office chief.

       

      Best,

      Daniel
