    Believe me, I have no idea. This one belonged to our friend Tony before I traded it with him.

    Just another riddle.

    looking at this again.... still panting heavily....

    what is the award to the left of the 1934 Ehrenkreuz?

    would this possibly have been an issue to someone

    high up in wilhelm's political structure? general staff?

    it must have been a mover and shaker.

    any thoughts from the ricks, as well?

    Gentlemen,

    A small offering to the cause. If this looks a little odd (aside from the incorrect ribbon) that is because, at 22.21 mm x 19.73 mm, not including the loop, it is a prinzen example. The correct ribbon would be 35 mm wide in the same shade of blue as shown with 1 mm white side stripes.

    Best wishes,

    Hi Ulsterman,

    Thank you for the compliment. According to Hessenthal u. Schreiber, it looks like they had one line battalion and a Landwehr battalion as well.

    I also have a full sized piece; but it is not here at home. I am making arrangements to get it here - hopefully tomorrow. Meanwhile, I found this little guy hanging around.

    Thank you again and best wishes,

    So is OEK2 the austrian iron crown order 2nd class? Pretty high for a hof fourier with 4th class awards

    No, this is a more appropriate Oldenburg Ehrenkreuz 2. Klasse:

    Hello everybody

    There is a lot of beauties here. Thanks for sharing those with us.

    @Graham, you have an impressive collection.

    @Komtur, like always your collection is impressive.

    I used to have one SE3X with original box.

    Here is one ribbon bar of Maempel who served with IR 95 during WW1
