Deruelle Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Hi everybody, It's an old topic I know but it's interresting to make this one alive. Another perfect match : Oberstleutnant von Heygendorff
Deruelle Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Hello, No one has new treasures to show us :anmatcat:
Deruelle Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Hi everybody, Looking through my database I have found that some saxon officer airmen has received the following medals : SH3 : knight cross of St Henry of Saxe SV3bX : knight cross 2nd class with X of Merit Order of Saxe SA3bX : knight cross 2nd class with X of AlbertOrder of Saxe EK2 : iron cross 2nd class HHO3X : knight cross with X of the House Order of Hohenzollern. The following photo come from the vol. 3 Kingdom of Saxe of Aviation awards of Imperial Germany from Neal O'Connor. The man is Leutnant Hans Gottfriend von Haebler (1893-1918). We can clearly see the ribbon bar with five ribbons. If someone has more information about this officer, thanks in advance.I'm looking for the date of receipt of the Hohenzollern knight cross. Christophe
Deruelle Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 And to finish here is the photo of Leutnant Franz Buchner, always from the N. O'Connor's book, vol. 3. he is the most prestigious saxon officer who received the same combo than von Haebler. Christophe
Deruelle Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Incredible Rudi, just incredible ! I'm speechless Christophe
Claudio Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Beautiful medal bar! Congrats.... I would have bet just looking at the front of the bar that it was a Godet constructed one. Too bad that it was stored so badly (see corrosion on some orders and condition of the ribbons). Nevertheless a most unusual combination of very rare orders... like the Star of Brabant order and the House Order Lippe-Detmold Ehrenkreuz the with swords! What a find unusual is that he got the Weissen Falken and the Lippe-Detmold orders with swords, but no Iron Cross or any other WWI commemorative medals... is there any career information about this Diplomatic/high Consular officer? ciao, Claudio
