Paul C Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 The 1877 Ordensliste (which I don't have) has a list of all 1870 EK2 awardees. The NK EK2 was awarded about 5000 times. The Ordensliste also lists ROA and KO awardees. So in theory it would be possible to finf the guy, BUT it would take a very, very long time!

Scott Powell Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 beyond a doubt the finest Noncombatant bar i have ever seen, thanx for sharing and i hope you are able to ID it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) The FINEST noncom bar I have ever seen-note the red cross crown order. I thought there was a list of those too.I believe that is the first issue "combat ribbon" on the 1870 campaign medal too.By the bars we can narrow down the units as well.

dond Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I think we can use that 1914 spange as a benchmark piece with which to compare others. A great bar. Thanks for showing. If you ever tire of it I'm sure it will find a nice home quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev in Deva Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Is the medal on the 1866 ribbon a "Koniggratz", "Der Main Armee" type, or something else?Kevin in Deva Edited April 18, 2008 by Kev in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komtur Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Agreed! Me too ! Can we also see a close up of the red cross on the KO4 please? Thanks, Komtur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komtur Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 The 1877 Ordensliste (which I don't have) has a list of all 1870 EK2 awardees. The NK EK2 was awarded about 5000 times. The Ordensliste also lists ROA and KO awardees. So in theory it would be possible to finf the guy, BUT it would take a very, very long time!Hm, "only" 1787 awarded KO4 with the red cross (1872-1874). So it may be not a very, very long time, but a very long time May be Geiles Register of the rare orders in the Ordensalmanach 1904/5 is of any use (I don?t have it, so I do not know, if the KO4 with the red cross is rare enough to be mentioned)Best regards, Komtur.

webr55 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Judging from the combination of battle bars, he was either 2nd or 4th Cavalry Division in 1870/71.RegardsChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
