Gerd Becker Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Fantastic group, Heiko And great job reuniting them! Rick will go crazy about the Tamara-ribbons Whats the next to last on the second bar, which is missing now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Incredible group! And we would never have found him, without documentation!He's even got the St. Tammy - don't they all have to be delivered to Rick?? So the middle ribbon bar was his first one, pre-WW2. Then he must have worn the top one - a 26 place bar!! Here the last two ribbons (??? and Portuguese Red Cross) look improvised, apparently they didn't have these in stock. And is that an Ostvolk in #13? Not too common either. Now the third bar was, I guess, his last one - after Bulgaria and Finland changed sides! He even dropped Turkey, who became an enemy during the last days of the war.Fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 What a weird bunch of awards!What's the biographical story on this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Outstanding! Just a superb group of many, many interesting pieces!!Good Work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 What a weird bunch of awards!What's the biographical story on this guy?I only know that he was a Lt (probably dR) in WW1, and Freikorps fighter. Later a state attorney, but he must have done more. Heiko, do you know anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 How, exactly, is his name spelled correctly?I find nothing for "Sayffaerth" or "Sayffaerth." with one f or 2 fs.There are so many weird ways to spell that name-- from Seiffarth to Seyfferth...that I need to know the RIGHT one, since Mister Computo Masheen searches by EXACT and not sounds like spellings.

Mark M Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 HeikoBoth bars came with the original award documents. Can you post photos of those too?Thanks,Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Heiko, I am so glad you were able to save these bars from wandering around for years without its twin. As we well know, when a group gets split, it can take decades to get it back together if ever. Thanks for having the forethought to preserve them as they should be. Job well done!! I look forward to seeing more, please post the documents if you have time. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Dane Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 How, exactly, is his name spelled correctly?I find nothing for "Sayffaerth" or "Sayffaerth." with one f or 2 fs.According to the remaining items at H?sken, his name is spelled Gerhard Wolfgang Sayffaerth (born 30. September 1897)./MikeP.S: Absolutely beautiful bars. So glad to see them reunited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudius Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Congratulations Heiko!!What a great group! It is very rewarding to such a great group recombined, especially the medals that belonged to one man. I see now what you used the money from the sale of your documents.

webr55 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 (edited) I can confirm his name: DR. Gerhard Wolfgang SAYFFAERTH got a doctorate in law from the University of Cologne on 28.11.1924. His dissertation was about "Das Risiko im Arbeitsverhältnis unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der neueren Rechtsprechung und des Arbeitsvertragsgesetzentwurfes".

webr55 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Whats the next to last on the second bar, which is missing now?THAT is the Cross of "Simon Petlyura", awarded to "Major Sayffaerth" by the (exiled) Ukrainian government in 1932. How do I know that? The thing is being sold by Zeige, along with a Russian St. Nikolaus exile order, awarded in 1957 to Major Sayffaerth, ------ and his Tamara (with document)!
