christerd Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) And a closeup of the bar Hmm, I see now on the closeup That the second award probably is a Allgemeine Ehrenzeichen insted of the smaller Mezz ..... sorry for the wrong topic name but the scanner is fantastic showing details sometimes .

Naxos Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Great portrait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leutwein Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Very nice picture. Congratulate! But it is a "Militärehrenzeichen" 2nd class and not an "Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen"! Such portraits are rarer to find than those with the combination "MEZ II" and the German-Southwest-africa medal. Best wishes Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerd Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Aha ! Thanks Karsten , So I didn´t have any right at all .... MEZ II and Southwest Africa medal, a Colonial fighter in other words Great :jumping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leutwein Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Sorry for that misunderstanding. But your guy received his MEZII for his service in China and he is wearing the china-medal. I meant only that the combination MEZ II + China-medal rarer is than MEZ II and Southwestafrica-medal. Best wishes Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIR Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 ... Does anyone have a clue from what regiment he is or something else ... Hi Christer, nice picture and I think it's Seebataillon. Best regards, Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leutwein Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Hello, no it´s not the same man! I have the same picture in my collection and this guy received his MEZ II for his service in German-Southwestafrica. Here is a closeup of his medalbar and you will see the differences. By the way Jens is correct. Your guy is a member of the Seebataillon. Can you read the battle clasp? There are only the following few posibilities: Kaumi, Nan-Hung-Men, Liang-Hsiang-Hsien and Tientsin Best wishes Karsten Edited September 13, 2011 by Leutwein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
