Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Dear forumites, There was a time when a super complete group appeared on auction in Dec 2007 (Thies) for sale...
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) After about 1 and half year at the Gun Show (Waffenbörse) in Stuttgart I found this tuxedo (civilian) bar (this type also known in German as "Frackspange"), which I immediately recognized being part of the above-mentioned group. I bought it and asked the seller if he knew of the other items, but he couldn't give me any information about it. I was surprised and frustrated to see this bar being sold alone... Here is the description of the bar:Preußen, Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse am Kämpferband, 1914-1924 (OEK 1909), E gs/SLippe, Kriegsehrenkreuz für heldenmütige Tat am Band für Kämpfer 1914-1918 bis 1922 (OEK 1190), GBr vgLippe, Militärverdienstmedaille, VS Kranz mit Schwertern 1915 (OEK 1186)Deutsches Reich 1933-45, Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer (OEK 3803/1), ohne HerstellerÖsterreich 1. Republik, 1. Weltkriegs-ErinnerungsmedailleUngarn, 1. Weltkriegs-ErinnerungsmedailleBulgarien, 1. Weltkriegs-Erinnerungsmedaille Edited August 10, 2011 by Claudio
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 I almost forgot about this bar and gave up any hope of finding the rest of the group, not to speak about the name of the original owner... I thought it was lost for eternity... ... until I saw the other "brotherly" bar appearing on Ebay Germany!
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 ... and it came also with one of its chain-miniatures!
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 ... but most interestingly it came also with a bit of paper work and some pictures... I still have to identify which foto is the one of the medal bar's owner!
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) I have a picture of another Uffz. but no name on the back of the picture... he could be one of these two NCO! Edited August 10, 2011 by Claudio
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Lazerett / hospital's early visit (Dez 1914)...
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Picture of the Field Hospital... where is he? :unsure:
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 On the back... some writings in Sütterlin... Can somebody be so gentle and helpful to decipher it for me? I would really appreciate it a lot! Evidently the pictures were glued in an album... what a pity... :angry:
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 In Switzerland we would call it the "Marschbefehl"...
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Another interesting picture... I guess pretty early war, doesn't it? Edited August 10, 2011 by Claudio
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Another picture... the NCO in middle seem to be the same one on two previous pictures... only in this one he looks a bit prematurely aged; I guess that this picture was taken toward the end of the war.
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 This is a picture of another unit (not guard)....it was together with the other ones.
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Here a pictures of soldiers lined up to receive some chow...
Claudio Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 FEK Urkunde... sorry for the strange colour of the scan... it came out like this!
Deruelle Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Hi Claudio, Congrats for your purchase, nice groups Christophe
Claudio Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 Thank you Christophe... for your nice words. Some time ago you asked me privately, why I don't post anymore... that's the reason! Over 120 views and no answer or comment to my thread. Same also about one thread I posted with lots of pictures of a museum I visited in Germany (U-Boot Denkmal, Laboe). ciao, Claudio
dond Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Claudio, I'm glad to see the bars reunited. Great work.
rujab Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Hallo Claudio Congrats for your purchase, nice groups Rudi Auf Deutsch Danke fürs Zeigen
