Deruelle Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi Fritz von Selle received the Card Eduard War Cross on 19 July 1916. Von Selle received the Pour le Mérite Order on 6 January 1918, after that the Duke Carl Eduard gave Oberst von Selle the Brillants to the cross in 1918. Years ago Andreas Thies sold the Carl Eduard War Cross with Brillants and its original box in one of his auction. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRBeery Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 According to Rick, these are his shoulder boards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschritter Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) CRBeery, are you sure? He was made Generalmajor 1921, therefore without a star or a crown. 1939 Generalleutnant, one star, but definitely not a crown. You seem to have a General der Infanterie of the Preußische Armee, I am sure some of our experts can even identify the regiment. Or maybe, taking a second look (the Gold is missing), those are from a Oberst of the 6. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 95 (the symbol would fit)? Like I said, I am no expert. My mistake ... here is what the boards for a General der Infanterie look like: Edited January 19, 2021 by Deutschritter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRBeery Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Experts looked at these long ago. It’s posts like yours that remind me of why I don’t bother sharing items from my collection much anymore. What I wouldn’t give for the old GMIC!

The last one: Militärverdienstkreuz (Österreich) with Kriegsdekoration, do you know which class? He has probably received ÖM3K .
