Thanks a lot for all of your replies! It is great to see the interest also in older bars, and the "bad news" that it's impossible to identify the holder of the bar aren't really bad, because now there are some more information than before about this man, so there is a short story which is better than none... I thought the prussians had a list of the recepients of thier crosses, especially of the non-combattant... Is there really no possibility to get an information about the holders fron another source?--- Nvertheless - in my collection I have an 1866 non-cobattant cross and also the 1848/49 medal of hohenzollern, so it's time to look for the red bird! Thanks again westfale

And the first one from an othern view:

Here the second:

And, additional, some detailed pictures of the hook and his mounting:

Here the picture of the rearside of the bar. I've checked the ribbons with black light, and they doesn't glow, so I think they are original. westfale

Hi! I've bought this bar a few days ago from a german dealer mostly due to the 1866 non-combattant cross. Now I would aks you: Is there any possibility to get a little bit more information about the holder of the bar? I hope some of you could help me with the reconstruction of the possible career of the holder or with some other information... Thanks a lot westfale

@ Rick Research From Germany to New England a great "Thank you" for your help! westfale

Hello! Does anyone of you know the orders/decorations which the "leader of the airships" (german: F?hrer Der Luftschiffe) Peter Strasser fron the navy airfield at nordholz got during his career, especially during ww1? Thanks a lot westfale

Hi, is there any possibility to get some more information about two of my 3rd class "order of glory"? one of them has the number 37847, the other 621887. Thanks for your help westfale

and at least the "numbers" with the leading two "00"! Does, due to the time after the last post here, some of you have more detailed information about these medals?

Hope you enjoy them! medal JASORAT, # 004266 medal SUHRAT, # 002231 medal 10 years of uzbekistan forces (?) westfale

Glenn, as the times before I asked for details of someone it would be a great help to get these informations from you! Thanks again! westfale

Thanks really great - but how is the way to download these books? Following the links I get only one page with a few details but with no possibility to download these files! westfale

Hi, due to a documental research I would like to ask you for some information about colonel (date of document 1911) zietlow, 2. pommersches Artillerie-Regiment Nr. 17. Does anyone of you have details about his career? Thanks a lot for your help!! westfale

Hi, does anyone of you could post me a picture of the document of the prussian non-cambattant cross of 1866, so called "Pflichttreue im Kriege 1866"? Thanks a lot! westfale

Hi! Does anyone of you have seen a seal like this: an sitting man like a king with crown, right of him at the surface sittingan lion and at at his left side an shield with a prussian eagle. In his right hand there is an scepter with an snake around it, and to the left side of the seal there are something like an palm, and to the right side like something like laurel. I don't know why, bot I can't post an picture here, so there is only the discription above... The upload-function does not work! Thanks for your help! westfale

Thanks a lot to all for your help - now I have much more information about the former "unknown major vietze" and his role during ww1! Hope to find with these details much more in the net about him and the "ingenieur und pionier-korps"... Thanks again westfale

Hello! Does anyone of you could give me some details about the life and/or the career of the imperial german major (1905) Vietze from the "Ingenieur und Pionier-Korps"? I found a lot of "Vietze" in the net, but because I haven't his fully name I couldn't detect him really, and so it would be a great help if you can give me some details about him and his life! Thanks westfale

Sorry for the confusion - My question for pictures and the marks are in connection with an 2nd type civil class MBE I would like to buy, but because I normally collect german awards I have no detailed information about the order and especially about fakes, so I asked for the marks and/or stamps because it would be easier to see "fake or not". And also the question for the hq-pictures - they are for comparison to the order I am interested in. Unfortunately I forgot to make some pictures of the award which I am interested in, and the man who offered me the order was an old man with no digital camera and no detailed catalogue of his medals/awards... Again, sorry for the confusion - the pictures I am interested in was given to me; the award which was offered to me is not named like to MBE on the picture above. Is this normal? And were I can find the silver-marks, if there were silver-marks (because it's made of silver, isn't it?). Thanks for your help! westfale

Hello Ed! The picture-links are ok, but I need a detailed picture in better quality, so: Could you post me a scan of an MBE, front and rear side? Do you have an silver-stamp/mark on it? westfale

Hello! To compare with an "member of the british empire" - cross I have seen a few days ago and which I would like to buy I would like to ask for an HQ-picture of these order. I have found a few pics here (mostly on bars) but in my oppinion not really good for comparison, so it would be great if someone of you could post me his order! Additional: is there an official homepage of the members or the gouvernement about it? And, at least: Does anyone have graphics - not pictures - of british medals and/or orders or could give me a link to them? Thanks a lot for your help!! westfale

Glenn, Thank's a lot for your help to give me some more details! Regards and a nice weekend westfale

Hello! Due to your outstanding help a few weeks ago I would like to ask you again for help; does anyone have some details about the life or military career of "Kriegsgerichtsrat Dr. Martin Czarnikow"? I found only the information that he stay 1914 at the 5th division with the rank of an hauptmann, but nothing else. So it would be great if someone has a little bit more of this man and could help me to fill the "white places" for me! westfale

It is amazing to get all these details in a few days - especially, if you ask also in a specialist forum in germany and got NO information! Thanks to all for your help and the really good info about an before unknown soldier! J?rgen
