M Hunter Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Gentlemen, Here is another new arrival. Note the button clasps on the reverse for attaching to the tunic. Does all look good with this one? Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 This Oberst should be an easy ID with that unique combination of awards, or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaba1914 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) Not unique but rare. maybe Lt. Otto Flöl (FA A 277) Regards Alex Edited December 24, 2010 by jaba1914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hi Alex, Where do you find the name ? I can't find any Flöl who received SF3bX in the Rick Daniel's book. Flöl received the SW in 1917. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 ... Here is the photo of the owner of the ribbon bar. Wow, Christophe – my compliments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hunter Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 Hi Matt, A very, very interresting ribbon bar, not only about the attachemnt method but about the Saxe Weimar ribbon. Here is the photo of the owner of the ribbon bar. Unfortunaly, at the moment I have not id him, for the moment Thank you for posting Christophe. The ribbon bar worn by the Luftwaffe Oberst in this photograph is definitely a dam good match to the ribbon bar I have in the collection. Very good news chaps that an ID is a possibility.

Deruelle Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I made some research and I have found one officer who has got same awards : Oberleutnant Hans Frhr von und zu Fraunberg from FFA 6. He received both SF3bX and SW. Here is one photo of him in 1915, from the O'Connor book t. 5 Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaba1914 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I'm sure Flöl got the SF3bX. The list is not complete. Hans Frhr von und zu Fraunberg died on 26.09.1941. Regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Hi Alex, So it's not Fraunberg, like I see the reverse of the card with date 1944. You may be right about Flöl, I post a photo of him from O'Connor's book t. 5 Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
