saschaw Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Could you please help me with this Bavarian officer? Unfortunally, he's really really blurry, but it may still be enough to identify him: he has a Bavarian military merit order 4th class with the crown and swords, a Z?hringer lion order from Baden, EK 1 and 2, Bavarian jubilee medal, and the clue: a Bavarian reserve/landwehr long service award 1st class. If I'm not totally wrong, with this he should be "dR" or "dL". From his rank - should be a major - the Z?hringer has to be a "3aX", a knight's cross 1st class with swords. Only about a dozen of those went to Bavarians, and only two were "dR" or "dL":KB Major dL aD Joseph Duffner andKB Rittmeister dL aD Franz SchlimmIs it one of those and can someone tell me which one? I do not have much references on Bavarians... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul C Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I don't have KB Rittmeister dL aD Franz Schlimm as having a BMV4XKr. Also I don't find him in the 1913 or 1909 BMHM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Both had retired from the reserves before my 1912 directory.Duffner does seem to be the ONLY match, as Major dL aD (J?ger). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
