Rick,

Let me help you out! Maybe I have a faster connection, or more patience with cats.

If you just got it from Detlev then why the value question? Great piece, excellent vendor, enjoy.

Dan

Thanks Rick,

Its amazing how a Lt Col singlehandedly stoppped the whole von Schliefen plan! Turning out to be an interesting character. I guess his decoration confirm the notion he was well connected and respected for a Saxon among JUnkers

Dan

Thanks Glen,

Its appreciated

I've been trying to find details on the career of this Saxon Officer, famous/infamous in the battle of the Marne. Can someone provide me a brief career outline, decorations. I think he was awarded the PLM. But don't really have any details.

Thanks,

Dan Cole

The big stone marker that says "Richthofen" is currently in front on the entrance to the Luftwaffe base at Wittmund which is in Northern Germany by Wilhelmshaven. Wittmund is is Home of "Geschwader Richthofen" of the Luftwaffe.

Go to find a grave and you can find pophotos of the Wiesbaden site also,

What is this or am I missing something?

It MUST be real because "Catmom" is bidding on it!

[attachmentid=34310]So the connected U-R isn't a solid detail that can pigeon hole it to a 57er piece.

I don't see him in vol IV Wurtemburg. At least not in the index in the back.

Gold Wound Badge and HHOX, No pictures of the EK1 or Ek2 1914 or 1939.

My favorite author is Enrst J?nger. During my visit to Wilfingen once upon a time his museum was unfortunately closed. However recently the good folks there (Frau Monika Miller-Vollmer) sent me some great photos of his decorations, which prove PLM owners had more than one.

In the first photo with the award doc you can't really tell much, but the second it clearly looks like a Steinhauer and L?ck piece! Or am I mistaken? His Gold Wound badge is a cut out varient and his HHOX doesn't have a ribbon and unfortunately the glare hides the details.

None the less, Ernst J?nger.s Pour le Merite from the Ernst J?nger Haus in Wilfingen. Vielen Danke Frau Miller-Vollmer f?r die Fotos.

I would try to give it back....

I should have said I returned it and got my money back.

This one was pretty nice too.

Dan Cole

Here' one I had at one time. I think it was fairly rare. I ended up selling it back to the dealer I got it from because I think it was real, but faked. The swords didn't seem correct. They were'nt screwed in.

Perhaps I was wrong.
