Rittmeister Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Is that a Spange zum EK.2 1914 or an Ehrenblattspange? I can never keep those two apart. Also, what are the awards on the ribbon bar? It seems to me these are 1914 awards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Maybe the first one is a KVK2, without swords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hard to say with those South German style ribbons. Even straight on, the overlapping curved ribbons are This reserve officer (no Wehrmacht long service awards) hasEK2 1914 with 1939 Spange from his buttonhole,ribbon bar =1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class, another WW1 award, and the Hindenburg Cross with Swords.It may be possible to tell where he was from-- and therefore what that 2nd ribbon bar ribbon might be-- if there are legible unit numbers on his shoulder boards.

Rittmeister Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thanks a lot, Mr. Rick! Unfortunatly, his shoulder boards do not reveal anything that could add to a further identification.If I may ask another question; what were the criteria for being awared the Spange zum EK 1914?

Josef Rietveld Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 It means that the person was awarded the IC2 twice.The first time in WWI and the 2nd time for deeds in WWIIhaynauprevitera states in his book iron time that 450.000 (?) Spangen for the IC2 were awarded during WWII. i hope this is correct. i have the book at home and can't check it up now.haynau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
