    And a closeup of the bar

    Hmm, I see now on the closeup :cheeky: That the second award probably is a Allgemeine Ehrenzeichen insted of the smaller Mezz .....

    sorry for the wrong topic name :blush: but the scanner is fantastic showing details sometimes .

    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

    Aha ! Thanks Karsten , :blush: So I didn´t have any right at all .... MEZ II and Southwest Africa medal, a Colonial fighter in other words

    Great :jumping:

    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

    Hi Christer,

    nice picture and I think it's Seebataillon.

    Best regards, ;)

    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
