    From what I can see:

    1. Iron Cross 2nd Class

    2. Prussian Military Merit Cross

    3. Wurttemberg Bravery Medal (Gold or Silver?)

    4. Legion of Honour Veterans Medal

    5. Imtiaz/Liakat Medal (not sure which)

    6. Order of the Red Eagle Merit Medal (could also be the merit medal of the crown order, but I think there are stripes on the ribbon)

    7. 15 year service cross

    Yes the other image is of a turkish pilot badge

    This is the bar of Paul Leim, pilot at FFA 35, FFA 14, Jasta 27, FA 300, Kest 4b and leader of Jasta 84.

    Do you own this portrait of him?

    Regards

    No need to post the picture if there are concerns about copyright. I have a good scan of this picture from the former owner of this picture.
    Paul Leim is a good known and famous flyer during WWI with a unique combination of awards

    #5 is the Ottoman Liyakat medal. Imtiyaz medal is much taller, and #6 is the crown order medal, easily to recognize from it's ribbon.
