saschaw Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 A put together in my humble opinion, but using very nice parts ... By the way, was it usually that the Bavarian MVKs 2nd class are not enameled in 9mm size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schießplatzmeister Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hello Paddywhack:Yes, the Bavarian Government did continue to authorize combat awards after the abdication of the throne. However, these awards were for actions prior to the armistice, for awards which were recommended, but never made prior to the end of the war. There are of course Max M?ller's posthumous MMJO and other high-level awards. I have also seen post-war (~1919) MVK award documents which have the Royal header removed and have a printed seal with the crown removed. I am not aware of any awardings (of Royal awards) that the Bavarian Government made for Freikorps actions. Best regards,"SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Sorry, no update for me. This guy, by the way, seems a little unaware, talking e.g. about a Z?hringer with swords and oak leaves - were is the OL ... ?! For me it still remains a put together using nice pieces ...
