Unfortunately his bar is uncomplete because of the separation of the PCO. Afterwards the ribbons where sewed unprofessional.

and the back

It came in a box of Godet

with a little gift.

I would appreciate, if anybody could give some more information to Funcke .

[Komtur]

Oh, sorry, I forgot this intersting paper, certifying the return of the PCO.

That's very interesting! So his next of kin (who is that addressed to?) returned the Crown Order 3 rather than pay the fee to keep it, but kept the Red Eagle 4!

That?s what I like here, quick and substantial replies

@ Rick and Heiko

Yes, it is odd to give one order back and keep the other. I?m not sure, but it could be, that before 1918 all orders were withdrawn to award them again after repairing. After 1918 the only aim was to recollect the rare metal. About 12 g of silver wasn?t perhaps worth the procedure, but 12 g of gold was it? I hope to get some more information about this topic today.

There is no envelope and adress to the paper.

@ Glenn

the first time I see the Stammliste of the Kaiser Wilhelms Akademie published in 1910. I was searching for it a few month. Decorated medicals are my special interest, so this book is essential for me. But what is the source of Funckes promotion?

thanks and greetings, Komtur.
