What is the ribbon in his tunic button hole? I thought it was for the EK2 but it must be huge then. And where is the outside black lines?

Hi,

This ribbon is for the Max Joseph knight cross (MJ3)

Hi

Alex, the problem here is : some ribbons are so clair that we can determine which ribbon is. But Rick will do it in 5 secondes like always.

But for your info, before the war, M?hl received the MVO3b, cross of honor of St Michael, Jubile medal from 1905, B long service, Prussian Red Eagle Order, and the knight cross of the Order of the Crown of Italy.

So,

I try :

MJ3, EK2, MVO3b, PRAO4, ?, ?, ?, J, DA, IK4

In the Prussian Staatsanzeiger is Generalmajor Ritter von M?hl on 09.02.1916 with the awarding of RAO2X mentioned. First I thought that the ribbon on the uniform is the sw war-ribbon from this RAO Order would be worn in the buttonhole, but the negative pic shows that it is the Bavarian ribbon.

Greetings Mike

PS: I can to the awarding of the KRO2X not find anything, there is reliable information?
