    Very nice Claudio. I found that some men may received this medal. Now I don't know if there is roll about this cross but it's unusual. Congrats

    I have already posted this one in another topic but this one is more appropriate.

    Claudio,

    Your new 2 BIIIG ones are really AMAZING!!!

    Who was he? No prince, no General, a "simple" Captain at a Cadet School!

    Karl von Flotow, born 1873, in 1914 Capt at Kadettenhaus Karlsruhe, Major a.D. after WW1.

    Had RAO4, KO4, Joh, HEK3, AB3b, MG3, OV3b, EH3a, SLH3, DD3, RumK4, SE4, SMV1 before the war, no idea what he did in WW1 and if he got more awards.

    Greetings

    Daniel

    Karl von Flotow was promoted to Major on 8 November 1914. He was already a Major a.D. in the 1917 edition of Gothaisches genealogisches Taschenbuch der uradeligen Häuser. Since he was a native of Mecklenburg-Schwerin but did not receive the Militärverdienstkreuz by 1917 when he was a.D., I would guess he didn't have much wartime service (I only have MMVs through September 1917).

    Regards

    here a bar from an prussian officier of Garde Grenadier Regiment Nr. 2 or Husaren Regiment Nr. 16 .He is one of 113 carriers of the 1908 Austro-Hungarian Jubilee Medal for foreign regiments.

    Very cool medal bar!

    Earlier it was sold as a part of "Nachlass der Familie von Klaer de Claer".
