pinpon590 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Hello ! Some Franz Josef Order could be awarded with "Kriegs Dekoration", who is a green ribbon enamel, located on the insignia. I ask me few questions about the location of this Kriegs Dekoration, depending on the grade of the order : - Knight : ??? I have never seen knightcross with such green enamel... - Officer : only below the crown I think. - Commander : on the cross, below the crown ? - Grand commander : on the star ? Something on the cross ? - Grand Cross : only on the star or also on the cross ? Thank you for your help ! :cheers:
saschaw Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 The knight's cross grade's Kriegsdekoration is just the ribbon: The striped one instead of the red peace time ribbon. The crosses are the same in this class.

Hi Pinpon590, -Knight Kriegsdekoration only indicated by Kriegsband (Bravery Medal Ribbon)as saschaw already mentioned -Officer till 1915 large Kriegsband-Rosette , then green enameled pendules (beyond crown), swords (introduced late 1916) are fixed directly on the pendules - Commander, Kriegsband and swords fixed on the lengthend pendules -Grand Commander, as commander, breaststar with Kriegsdekoration arround the star, and swords (if awarded) beyond Crown Grand Cross, sash badge on Kriegsband, swords on lengthend pendules; breaststar as commanders breaststar To make it even more difficult there existed the socalled kriegsdekoration niedrigen grades (lower grade war decoration) forinstens if somebody got first a knightsbadge with wardecoration and later on a peacetime officers cross. then the wardecoration of the knight is indicated by a green enameled ring arround the FJ-center medaillon. but original ones are very very very rare. some few pics here FJO regards josef
