Awards: in the adress-book from 1895

[KIR]

Hello

maybe an interesting information; in some old address-books, behind the names are shortcut from awards!

See the example of the Adress-Buch - 1895 from the city of Cologne!

Maybe there are some more old adress-books with this award-informations !?!

(especially good for the research to civilian-persons! ).

Best regards,

Jens

The sources for acquiring award information seems to be endless.

... yes, I think so too - it's an other good and "new" source!

... all other awards short-cuts are named in the index - but not "KROETM" and "Circle + H"!

Maybe the first "Circle + H" is a "Ehrenzeichen" from this region and the "KROETM" is maybe a forgein-award???

Which Ehrenzeichen is possible for this area around the city of Halle (Sachsen-Anhalt)???

I will be very appreciate for any information about!

Thanks and best regards,

Jens
