Deruelle Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi everybody, This morning I received the photo of Otto Martin and after looking carefully the photo I saw this. Can someone help me about this item please ? Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdC26 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Christophe, Couldn't that be a "Garde Stern" on the pommel cap of the good general's M-89 IOD? Unusual place (I'm used to seeing them on the sword's hilt), but then "es gibt nichts das es nicht gegeben hat". Regards, Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Christophe, could we see a close-up of his orders bar? Also, what badge is that next to his EK1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Also, what badge is that next to his EK1? it's an aeronautical sports badge. ring der nationalen kraftfahrt und luftfahrtbewegung (rkl)...one of those quasi-military sports organizations from the 20-30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Danner Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Nice picture! By the way, it's Martin Otto, not Otto Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) For comparison, and because it is a nice picture, here is an earlier Prussian-awards-only photo of Martin Otto, from the history of Reserve-Jäger Bataillon Nr. 4.

Dansson Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Very nice! It's not everyday you see a CoL 1 carrier from 1918. especially not a German. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaeger7 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I would say that it is a "Garde-Tag" badge. Machinewoven silk in an oval metall frame. Slightly unusaul place to wear it, but... Regards jaeger7-de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
