Nice Frackspange on CDV

[VtwinVince]

Gentlemen,

Here is a nice shot of one of my great-grandfather's brothers (not sure which one), wearing a nice frackspange. Sorry about my poor quality scanner.

Nice! Have you got any names? Maybe he could be looked up in the DOA 1908/09.

Hallo VtwinVince

Great looking CDV and a distinguished looking gentlemen,

Are the medals a EK2 1870 Non Com, A Red Eagle Order, 1866 Campaign Cross, 1870 Non Com Campaign Medal and 100 Centenary of Kaiser Wilhelm I??

Kev, I think you have it except for the last one, which has me stumped. The ribbon looks a little too dark to be yellow. As for his name, I believe he's Richard Ochs, born in Magdeburg. Oh, and don't forget the 25 year oaks on the EK.

Yellow, especially yellow silk, has that tendency to turn that shade in film photography of that era.

He is not listed in the DOA, sorry.

Hallo Gentlemen,

the size of the last medal and its placement, leads me to believe it the Wilhelm I centenery medal, I think the next one in that size would be a "Verdienst um die Statt" medal in silver and the ribbon is all wrong for that particular one.

Also thanks to Dave with regards the colours & photography.
