Dave Danner Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 There's not much I can do to focus on the ribbons, given the quality of the scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David M Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 There's not much I can do to focus on the ribbons, given the quality of the scan.I could ofcourse wait for the real experts to reply...but could the first thingie on the medalbar be a small-version of the grandcross he is wearing. ...or is it better for me to just shut up.... Nice picture btw!!David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 It certainly looks like a miniature star device, but... it's in first place and by the EK1 we know he has an EK2. Also, he's an 1870 vet. So I think his EKs are the 1870 variety, and he ought to have 25-year oakleaves somewhere, and a 1914 EK Wiederholungsspange. He isn't in the 1914 ranklist because he was already retired. He was recalled to active service, but the Ehrenrangliste, of course, doesn't show awards. I don't have any earlier ranklists except 1913, which doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webr55 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Great to have found this, thanks. His EK2 is from 1870, but the EK1 is the 1914 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
