GMVK for 1866?

[John5813]

All,

Over on the Werhmacht forum there is an old thread that references a garrison official with a MVK among others. The man was Garrisonsverwaltungoberinspektor Seichter in 1900 and he was a recipient of the GMVK. Since this was before WWI and he was not one of the colonial MVK recipients, wouldn't this mean he was one of the 16 MVK recipients from 1866? Please let me know.

All,

Looking past threads I found reference to 4 awards to Russians in the period 1902-1904. Does anyone happen to have any further info concerning these awards?

John

[Komtur]

There were 16 awards to Russian in 1879 (may be in connection with the Russian-Turkish war?). Later Awards I can not confirm by the Königlich Preußischen Ordenslisten. The scan is from the list 1905, part III.

Regards, Komtur.
