Ed Maroli Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I do have this photo. He is pictured here with his son. 1942? It is the same ribbon bar with a WWII KVK. I know it is hard to tell in the photos but he has cyphers on his boards. A Doctor? ~Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Maroli Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 He is a major with no long service awards. ~Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Maroli Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 There is also the original medal bar box to a Leipzig makers address. He may have been from Leipzig or near by? ~Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Oooooo, if you had a scanner (a nice EPSON scanner ) even that probably wouldn't help with the soft focus art paper of that photo.Identifiable at some future point, but not currently. We haven't got any listing of Oldenburg FAKs to Saxons... yet. It is quite odd how relatively frequently Oldenburg awards turn up in far-away Saxon groups--for no obvious "reason!"Ribbon Bars Man was one of three reserve medical officers, but no way to pick him out with ONLY the Saxon awards! As for the rank of your guy-- if a combatant officer and not a medical officer, he could have gone out as a charakterisiert Hauptmann/Rittmeister aD at age 30-ish in 1920-- no Imperial long service at all (under "XXV"). He was a Leutnant/Oberleutnant during the war from both classes of Saxon Orders. Officers recalled in WW2 normally were bumped up one rank for age, and so he'd have been a Major zV circa 1940/41 and stayed there at his desk job (KVK2X in buttonhole) for the rest of his WW2 service..Might also be a reserve officer-- no reserve long service awards under the Third Reich. He was not a civil servant either-- no Treudienstkreuz like on your other bar.IF you can get a clear closeup of what is on his boards that would go a tremendous long way towards figuring out his branch of service for when we CAN eventually start lining up Oldenburg awards in Saxon groups.

Ed Maroli Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Sorry, but I can't get a better picture. It only becomes a large blur. There is definitely a cypher and there may be a pip?Thanks for the help, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
