Guest Rick Research Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 No name on back? I can't tell what his 2nd ribbon is, that small-- looks like either Baden or W?rttemberg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary B Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 It is dated 1936. I am trying to decipher the writing/name on the back.Gary B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Post closeups of the ribbon bar and the back. If he's from the "right" imperial state... those award rolls are DONE... and you'll get mucho information. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I was thinking more of Epson sized likeso I still can't see whaat the 2nd ribbon is. Not from baden unless he's one of the 60 or so where the war ink bled away from the last 900 entries. Possibly a W?rttemberger-- Daniel is still working on the Friedrichs Order Knights 2nd X.Nice if eccentric rolypoly handwriting28.11.36GeneraldirektorHans Schmollerim Alter von 40 JahrenI don't find him on my Rolls, so think he may be a W?rttemberger-- don't have those yet.Name might ring bells with the WW1 aviation guys.Will alter title accordingly to attract attention.
