BRK-20

Roeder's another awards

Rev.

I have got the medal bar, ribbon bar and the Militarpass of Bavarian sergeant Friedrich Roeder who was mobilized in Bay.Landw. I.R. № 4 in August, 1914. Later he served in Armee Starkstrom Abteilung №16 and Bay. Starkstrom-Komp. №133. After the WWI he was the fireman. Thus he has three awards of the Bavarian Red cross, including the medal "Fuer Verdienst im Kriege 1914-18" and the Cross for 20 years in BRK. There is no any traces of his medical or sanitary activity in WWi in his militarpass. Maybe these awards were given not only for work in BRK, but also for membership in this organization(?)

VtwinVince, Sacha and Ulsterman, thanks for your replies! I have got the medal bar, ribbon bar and the Militarpass of bavarian sergeant Friedrich Roeder who was mobilized in Bay.Landw. I.R. № 4 in August, 1914. Later he served in Armee Starkstrom Abteilung №16 and Bay. Starkstrom-Komp. №133. After the WWI he was the fireman. Thus he has 3 awards of the Bavarian Red cross, including the medal "Fuer Verdienst im Kriege 1914-18" and the Cross for 20 years in BRK. There is no any traces of his medical or sanitary activity in WWi in his militarpass. These awards were given not only for work in BRK, but also for membership in this organization. I will start another topic and I will show this medal bar and pages of Roeder's militarpass.

Dear Gents, many thanks for your replies! The question is that one of the members of this forum considers that it's the "Austrian fake". He ostensibly saw it on sale on Ebay at "am-militaria" three years ago (maybe somebody else remembers this medal bar on offer of this seller?). Personally I don't see any sign of a fake here. It is absolutely not similar to "am-militaria's production".

There must be only the 1905 military medal on the fifth position (according to the 24-LS cross), but there is the 1911 Luitpold Jubilee Medal.

Hello Gentlemen! I have recently bought this Bavarian medal bar with an interesting combo and some rare versions of awards: ЕК2 - Deschler-type (hallmark "800") and the seamless Bavarian Red cross medal with a fine gilding (It isn't consist of two parts as always). I like this medal bar, it seems to be the original one of the period of early 30th. The style of sewing is easily recognised, there is a typical "silk" lining. But what do you think of it? Thanks in advance :beer:

Андрей, думается, что это она - желтая лента со светло голубыми полосками. То, что выглядит она не привычно - эффект черно-белой фотографии :beer:

Hello Andrey! Cool photo! #3 - Looks like Saxon Silver Friedrich-August Medal.

556 of the Merit Crosses of the Order of the Zahringer Lion were given out on the Karl-Friedrich ribbon.
