Hi Dave,

your bar can belong to Siegfried Popper, Bay 9. FAR,

Bayern MVO 4. class with x, 24.06.1915 as L dR

Sachsen-Meiningen Kriegsverdienstkreuz, 29.03.1916, OL dR

?sterreich MVK 3. class Kriegsdekoration, 12.05.1917 OL dR

In the last months 1917 and in 1918 there were no foreign decorations to bavarian officiers published.

Happy new year

Werner

Hi Salomon,

nice restore. With the long service cross it's a typical Oberstleutant-bar for me, so you should change the crown order 4. class into a crown order 3. class.

Happy new year

Hi Rick,

interesting informations about the 10. ErsatzD, where do you find it?

Hi Stogie-Rick,

this bar was sold in the last Thies auction, 1900,- EUR, wasn't it. A beautiful combination.

The wearer got the crown order 2. class, too, and so he pulled the 3. class away. When he died, maybe his family sent all the other prussian orders back to the Ordenskanzlei.

...in the Thies auction many pieces were described with "66 awards or 17 awards or any more" and one pieces was only described with "rare"....

What do mean means rare in this case......

..that's nothing against the order of Brabant....congratulations Claudio....

....no, the Mil. St Heinrich isn't rare enough - the Waldeck VK 4. class with 500 awards is rarer....

Hi stogie-Rick,

what is rare???

The houseorder of Hohenzollern (ca. 9000 awards), the PPlM (700 awards and very expensive ) - or it's the St. Heinrich order....
