I'll upload them for you.

Seems it was him anyway. His reply. Boycott these vile and greedy sellers.

An excellent choice. The collections of the different states knights crosses, i've seen has been very impressive. But that sort of collection might get a bit pricey in the end. Or why not the states iron cross equivalent bravery awards as an start. Have a look at Dave Danners excellent site. The possibilities are thankfully almost endless. :cheers:

This is just unbelievable retarded.

Originally a Godet-bar. :(

Seems they were aquired this way? Eitherway it's madness.

Has this guy done what i think he has done. http://search.ebay.de/_W0QQsassZkublie303 This guy should be garroted. Even selling the pieces.

Better pic.

Ah, there we got one! Missed this one. Seems Schulze also gets some nice things. I would say go for this grouping.

By the way, has anyone seen the "mysterious" F ribbon-device for it on the MKFVO ribbon, Saschaw?

Around 2600 awarded on this ribbon, and another 600ish on the Milit. Karl Friedrich Verd. Ordens. Think this went for around 250Euro a while back. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtop...st&p=190327 So i think the price is a bit on the heavy side (but still affordable).

How come he was called "Tattar-Hugo"? (Tattare=derogatory name for gypsies)

There were already a little discussion. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=29327

So it was you that got it! A very special bar. Could you post some sort of comparison shot (e.g fullsized 1897)? It was hard making out the size by the description.

Thank you both for the additional information. VJK from what source does the picture come from, one of the biblio series?

Does anybody have more information and perhaps a picture of the Regimentskommandeur FR 34 Konrad Kraehe I've got this so far. 15/05/1868-10/01/1943 Pour le Merite: 08.10.1917 Eichenlaub: 15.08.1918 01/02/22 Generalmajor 01/02/25 Generalleutnant honoraire 31/03/25 Retired 27/08/39 General der Infanterie honoraire

I believe this one will fetch a premium.

Now doesn't I regret not bidding higher. What was your maxbid? At least it went to member of the forum, so well all can enjoy the research.

Only briefly researched it before putting down my bid. It's quite an enchanting item. Please share more if you are able to. If we can't have it, at least we can enjoy it's history. Is this print from du faur you were mentioning?

I would say that his name were Michael Josef Fled. I already regret my bid at 421, but that is the name of the game, can't win them all.

Thought this might be of interest to someone http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28144

Thought that this had to be saved for posterity. Such a nice set for an veteran of the front in Tirol, the campaign against Russia and the march against his former employers. One of the 10 000 germans of the original 90 000 that surived the harsh winter and brutal conditions on the russian plains and were alive to be awarded the bavarian commerative in 1848 and the St Helena from Napoleon III in 1857. Would say that he atleast had reached his late sixties.
