Hi,

after getting this amazing picture from a friend of mine who bought it a few weeks ago, I could identify on the right Gen.d.Inf. Fritsch, so it can be dated between 1934 and 1936. In this period he was promoted to ObdH!

Can anyone of you id the general on the left or the other officer shown on the picture?

Thanks for help

Some more, including a well known man: on the right General d. Inf. (time of picture) Fritsch (Ob.d.H.), later on Generaloberst

If someone knew the General on the left, it would be great to get his name!

Hi all,

I've found this picture of some generals during a ceremony somewhere during the great war; unfortunately there were no information according to this event or the generals shown on the picture... Hope you like it, too!

HI!

A good friend of mine have seen this nice picture of an old veteran and bought it for me. As you can see, he is wearing a nice group of 1864/1866/1870 medals and crosses up to the landwehr 2nd class clasp and the 1897 medal. Hope you like it like me, not too often to see a complete group like this...

Thanks für shwing, it's great to see the bar!

Hi!

I work on identify this wearer of the 1870 ek2. As you can see he is a captain (Hauptmann) of the IR 125. According to the book about the history of this regiment, published by mittler & sohn 1895, there were not so much officers getting the ek2 in the franco-prussian war. I can't identify the time of making this picture, but I thought it must be close to the war because he is wearing the ribbon with the award. in the regimental list of officers with ek2 only two are getting the award alone - I expect wearing other awards, if he got them, but because he isn't wearing any other I think he got only the ek2. So follow this idea two were left - and here is my question:

Does anyone of you could help me, who this officer was?

Here the picture and a part of the list (hauptmann to oberleutnant / captain to 1st lieutenant), and thanks for help!

p.s.: thx Heiko

"Landwehr-Dienstauszeichnung" 2nd class, Mecklenburg-Strelitz

Hello westfale, I apologize for the delay.

How is this? If you need more detail, I will see what I can do -

no problem.

Best wishes,

Hello Wild Card,

thanks a lot for the picture - here the reason (after fixing a problem with my camera). It's to compare it with my one - not often seen...

Hi CRBeery,

Braunschweig Landwehr 2nd class schnalle, 1879-1886

Hi Wild Card!

Could you post the rearside of the 2nd class - I would like to see the needle...

Thanks for help!

HI!

Yesterday I've got my first imperial japanese order, and because I am not firm with these decorations I would like to ask for help.

It's the Order of the Scared Treasure 8th grade, and I would like to know the time the case/order was made. Attached you see the case, it has no pin and was not made from wood and due to the japanese writing I hope to get the period of time it (and so the order) was made.

Thanks for help!

And for all, who like also the "smaller" ones, here the version for bars in silver (for 15 years):

This is a VERY unusual photo: @ 1916.

Yes - guys with red cross and the iron cross - not often seen! 

Thanks for showing!

and: Heiko, really interesting pictures!!! Thanks for showing, too

Jürgen

Thanks for showing your picture, too! 

Also a really nice one; located at the eastern front, isn't it?

...and a detailed picture, but not in really good quality.

Hi Chris,

yes, that seems to be true - here my picture of such a ceremony. A General gave EK2 to his soldiers somewhere in france or belgium, and it look like paper-"bags" for the awards..

Hope, you like it

regards

Jürgen

Hallo Heiko,

HOAH and cheers! 

Really amazing picture - never seen a red-cross bar before!

Jürgen

Great image!

... this is all I can offer

Your pictures are also really interesting - could you post them showing all? I mean all the people on them? Seems they are wearing some interesting medals/awards, too!
