Beau Newman Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I found this frackspange at the SOS. The Ernestine Knight 1st is gold and is probably pre-war. The Reuss 3rd Class w/Crown is a wartime award in spite of no swords as the ribbon is the wartime type that, per Nimmergut, was correct for this after sometime in 1915. The Iron Cross ribbon indicates that he did make it into the combat zone but, the Hindenburg shows that he was a noncombatant.

Another possibility would be a black ribboned EK for service on the home front. best Chris
redeagleorder Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Beautiful bar! Like Chris said, the iron cross ribbon is probably for service on the home front. So you've also got the rarest type of EK! Matthew
Dave Danner Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I published a list of awards from Reuß jüngere Linie several years ago. There were three awards of this version - the Fürstlich Reußisches Ehrenkreuz 3. Klasse mit der Krone am Bande der Kriegsdekoration. I don't know how complete the list is - the list only included awards gazetted in the Amts- und Verordnungsblatt des Fürstentums Reuß jüngere Linie. One of these three had the LD1, Gustav Weißflog. He was a Kommerzienrat and factory owner in Gera, and a Rittm.d.L.a.D. I have no idea if he had the Ernestine House Order - he didn't have it in the 1909 Deutsche Ordens-Almanach. Landwehr officers weren't included in the Ehrenrangliste, so I don't know if he was recalled in World War I. He was born in 1865, so it seems possible that he was called up, but not sent to the front. His factory was the Ernst Friedrich Weißflog Kammwollwarenfabrik. Kammwoll is Worsted wool, so he was likely involved in making uniforms, blankets, or the like for the Army, which would justify the Ehrenkreuz without swords but on the war ribbon. I have rolls for Reuß jüngere Linie, but haven't compiled them yet. The rolls are apparently only for awards made directly by the Fürstlich Ministerium Gera, so they don't have most war awards with swords. After a quick look through them, I see about a dozen awards of this class. The rolls for Reuß älterer Linie apparently no longer exist. So Gustav Weißflog might be a good possibility, especially if the Ernestine award can be found, but I can't say with certainty since we will never have complete rolls.
