    1. Could you help me with the handwriting?  I can read the Fraktur, but the other is mystifying.  Its this post: 

      #285

      Thank you from Montana.

       

    2. Thanks. Schmied was what I was suspecting as that is listed as his occupation on the US Census.
    3. Can I get some help with the Handwriting? My wife's Great Grandfather in Austrian Infantry Regiment Nr. 11 "Georg Prinx von sachsen". Now I could use some help from a native German speaker that can help me with the handwriting. What I know is: Ort: Stehlowitz, BezirK: Muhlhausen, Kreis oder Komitat: Budweis, Land: Bohmen. Geburtsjahr: 1834, Religion: katolisch, Stand: Ledig, Profession: ? That all matches other family docs I have. I sure could use some with the rest of it. next stop is to figure out if he was in the Italian campaign of 1859 and the battle of Solferino,.
    4. As a follow up to this. I found him! After going page by page through more than 6000 files, I found him. He was in the 11th Austrian Infantry Regiment "Georg Prinz von Sachsen". Now I could use some help from a native German speaker that can help me with the handwriting. What I know is: Ort: Stehlowitz, BezirK: Muhlhausen, Kreis oder Komitat: Budweis, Land: Bohmen. Geburtsjahr: 1834, Religion: katolisch, Stand: Ledig, Profession: ? That all matches other family docs I have. I sure could use some with the rest of it. next stop is to figure out if he was in the Italian campaign of 1859 and the battle of Solferino,. This Entlass schein which was the secret to finding where to look in Bohemia is still in the family's possession aftetr 100+ years. It confirms the birth year and place of residence Stehlovic and Muhlhausen. The family name has changed to PINTZ now. But the church records show PINC.
    5. There's one on ebay.de: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Pour-le-Merite-mit-Band-im-Etui-goldenes-Eichenlaub-727-/172813398728?hash=item283c7b32c8:g:dB4AAOSw3ntZirfM My new PLM box is like you show with thew same color of blue backing. either way a copy. My 2 cents. Or here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/142008029790?rmvSB=true
    6. I think there is a chart on here somewhere that allows you to cross reference Bars to Regiments.
    7. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I don't think its him. The dates in the other entries don't line up at all. By the time of the dates in this document he is already in America. I think I have the incorrect regiment, or its not complete. It must be either 11 of possibly 35. Here the doc I found for PINTZ. There was another PINC but again the wrong DOB year. Dan
    8. Can someone point me in the right direction? My wife's great grandfather Frantisek PINC was born in Stehlovic, Bezirk Mulhausen, in the Kingdom of Bohemia in 1834. I heard once he was in the Austrian Army in Italy, so I'm guessing it might have been the Second Italian War of Independence, also called the Franco-Austrian War, Austro-Sardinian War or Italian War of 185, depending what you call it? I figure he would have been enlisted in 1854 and served until 1864. He didn't get married until 1867 and that matches up to hi having been in military service. I've dug through the records of Infanterie-Regiments Georg Prinz von Sachsen Nr.11 which should have been the infantry regiment that recruited in his area during this period. But alas nothing. I did find a Frantisek PINC, but the wrong town and birth year. Anyone have any ideas? I know the name spelling is correct and his birth place and date because we have those original family documents (Entlass Schein). I'd appreciate you're help. I can read the German so that helps, but its like looking for a needle in a hay stack.
    9. It is a listing of recipients, basic exploits, lots of Russians from the early 1800's. For the price its fine, not perfect. I used to have all three volumes of the book but sold them. For $30.00 is a good source. Their is a follow up volume from 1890's on. Volume 1 is not necessary and hard to find.
    10. I recommend the following: "Pour le Merite Order History 1813 -1818" by William Hammelman. On ebay about $30,.00. good starting place
    11. Hechingen is great. Its off the beaten tourist path. Another great collections of medals and orders is in Hohenschwangau next to Neuschwanstein.
    12. This is the book you should try to get: Prussian Blue - A History of the Order Pour Le Merite , by Steven Privitera Its great.,
    13. This was in the local newspaper here in Montana. He's a local boy, hence the story. http://billingsgazette.com/news/local/army-flight-medic-senior-grad-awarded-by-german-government/article_16a0c828-8ea7-500e-a5ae-2a9fad3712d0.html Dan
    14. USS Thor ARC 4 was awarded the Meritorious Unit Citation for the following periods: 27-AUG-1969 15-NOV-1969 16-AUG-1971 09-OCT-1971 The Thor (or those serving in her) didn't recieve the AFEM. Source OPNAVNOTE 1650

    16. There was once upon a time a discussion on another board about a PLM with the same hallmark. It went on for a long time. I would think that to find some "new " variant is way too unrealistic. My first opinion was a Rothe. I think there was also a single sided piece that was engraved on the back by a bunch of folks with this same hallmark. Anyone else remember this?
    17. I built a replica of von Richthofens medal bar using original medals. I couldn't find the correct clasp for the SCG medal so I used that one. I later disassembled it and returned the medals to their original ribbons and sold them off for a new project I had in the works. Ultimately, finding the medals was the fun part not having the medal bar. I couldn't repete the effort now because of cost.
    18. Here's the one I had that I used on the medal bar. I always wondered about the line on the reverse at the top.
    19. This is the one I had in my Richthofen bar. I have a better one at home of the single medal obverse and reverse.
