Hi,

it is to..

Füsilier-Regiment 34 Gefreiter August Gahnz

No company listed.

thanks

Chris

Seems he survived the war and were not captured, as he was not on the list of those. Could not find any awards given during the last months of 1916. The only ones listed are those of the high officers.

Sorry.

Thanks RAZ,

have a december 1916 EK doc to them.

Best

Chris

What is the guys name, any info on battalion, further dates? The book is quite extensive with fallen soldiers and in some degree awards, so might be possible to find some info on him.

Best Regards,

Christian

I think the guy is a swede. More bargains to be had at the Probus auction.

Great document. Makes me think of this group. Did it ever resurface after it were cancelled?

I don't have the number times this 1912 Sweden Olympic medal was awarded. However from the roster of Swedes and foreigner participants involved in the 1912 Olympic games in some official capacity I would say it was much more than 50. Perhaps 500 or 1,000. I don't know. It is still a rare enough medal.

I have a list of German participants at the Games. While it is not a long one, but it isn't so short that it would have been easy to ID the medalbar. (And it doesn't have first names.)

Although others may have sources. Did RaZpuTIN say he was checking on recipients of the Vasa Order? Although I'm sure many Germans who received the 1912 Olympic medal may also have received the Vasa Order, but it might have narrowed the field.

Also, I don't know if anyone know the particulars to the Romanian Cross or the number of recipients?

Could you post the list of Germans? Even without the vorname, cross referencing might narrow it down considerable.

wait a minute! I don't think the 1912 Olympic medal on this medal bar is the Competition medal "in silver". This medal was a seperate award for Swedes and foreigners who were special officials or in olympic committees.

Sorry, got bit too excited. But the participator medal is on the rolls as well, there will be alot of more work looking through them now and won't be able to pin pointing it.

I'll see if anyone of the swedes got the Wasa order aswell.

Especially the considering the olympic medal. At a very good price!

855E not that outrageous.

That's one GREAT item.

Very nice indeed..............pure quality.

I don't know the history behind it...........but I'm turning green.

Here's something I picked up last week for 30 Euro............KPM porcelain plate commemorating 200th anniversary of Fritz's death.

I bought it at a flea market nearby. Unfortunately I wasn't the only that saw it, so we commenced a bidding war, with me walking away as the victor at 40E. Feeling good but a bit little bit annoyed at the fact that I could had it at considerably less, if the other guy hadn't walked up at the same time as me.

I picked up this lead glass depicting Friedrich der Grosse. Seems old with later attached loops on the top ends. Has anyone seen something like this before?

Same price now as in 2009 - 2200Euro

Yes, it adds some character to the cross. But I would rather have the original catch left.

It's very nice to see a straight Meybauer pin for a change, they use to be rather beaten up.

They are now known as the three stooges. If anyone knows where i can find a Meybauer Schinkel 1939 pinback, please let me know.

Ahhh... yes... Scandanavian soldiers/Winter depression and booze...

I spent a cold, cold winter in Bosnia With Swedes and Norweigians... never a lack of booze... For a few months I to was walking around with balls of Snus compacted between my gums and lips... learned how to drink and even smoke without removing the chewing tabacco... on occasion even to eat with it in...

Snus.. A little bit of heaven left on earth.

Here is mine case with glass lid. Sorry for the glance, the glass is clear in hand. Think they were private purchase just as their counterparts in der erste Weltkrieg.

Recently bought this Meybauer cross, marked 900 with catch replaced. Unfortunately with some loss of the paint.

How big is the chance the wappen is under the catch plate? Think they were mostly placed in the middle and this is an unmarked example.

It is not to say that one cannot be brave and slime at the same time.

I have an EK1 to a U-Boot man, he was on the U-55... the boat most known for war crimes...

In one instance they collected all the survivors onto the front of the u-boot, destroyed all the life rafts... then dived, leaving all the survivors to drown.

May have been a brave man... but slime all the same....

The U-55 from WWI or WWII? I see that latter one sank some Swedish neutral vessels. This awakes bad blood, as my grandfather were serving on these kinds of boats outside and inside the blockade, suffered alot from the peril and had friends that were lost.
