Leutwein Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 A wonderful pic! Congrat Heiko!BUT the first one should be the MEZ I and not the prussian "goldene MVK"!By the way, the person is a police sergeant of the LP (Landespolizei) in GSWA.Best wishes Leutwein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 #4 is the Saxon Friedrich August Medal on war ribbon, with the spectrum colors reversed.That must be a SW Africa Saxon General Decoration Cross X too... never seen rolls for pre-World War awards but YIKES he MUST have been the ONLY person with all FOUR of those decorations!!!

Stogieman Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I always forget that the colors reverse on some ribbons. That would make sense to me being after the Saxon Ehren Kreuz. I thought long service, Saxony as the EK is typical to an enlisted/nco type. I concur with Rick that it is improbable that there's more than one fellow with that combination of awards. If you can find a Saxon in the almanac with that award for Afrika..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
