    Ribbon Bar of Oberstleutnant aD Ludwig Freiherr von Imhoff


    Recommended Posts

    A recent pick up with the following 11 ribbons:

    1. 1914 EK2

    2. 1939 KVK

    3. Bayern MVO w/swords and crown

    4. FEK

    5. Bayern Jubilee

    6. Bayern Jubilee

    7. Prussian KO

    8. Bayern Prinz Rupprecht 1920s

    9. Bayern Long Service

    10. Bayern Jubillee medal for 2 IR 1932

    11. Tyroler Nobileman Associations

    The last 2 helped very much to be able to trace the bar to Oberstleutnant aD Ludwig Freiherr von Imhoff in KB 2 IR. If anyone has a unit history of KB 2 IR and can look for a pic of Oberstleutnant aD Ludwig Freiherr von Imhoff I would greatly appreciate it. Also my thanks to Rick for tracing the bar. Without his eagle eyes I would have been lost!!

    Nice and interresting bar in a great conditioon - but what is the Tyroler Nobileman Associations? I remember having seen a neck beadge in shape of an eagle, but that was as said a neck badge...

    According to the International Commission on Orders of Chivalry and a few other web sites I located, the Tiroler Adelsmatrikel is an association of Tirolean nobles that has been in existance since the late 1300's and still exists today.

    The "TMZ" was apparently--like so many OTHER Austro-Hungarian decorations (and this seems to be more of a genealogical badge than an "award" per se) worn every day in Kleindekoration form.

    Here is a ? wartime/? 1920s German style Austrian ribbon bar for (probably) a medical oifficer who was a Catholic von Etwas-- note BOTH the Marianerkreuz and the TMZ down there looking like a misplaced Baden Z?hringen Lion:

    The full size neck badge ribbon is shown with gold metallic wire side stripes.

    Ah, no more Baden connection with this bar? Now I feel better, think I once gave it a miss - not as bad for me when it's not a Zähringer...

     

    :rolleyes:
