Alex K Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Hi all, another identification request on a spange, anyone know what this spange consists of, secondly an unknown badge is it turkish pilots? regards Alex
redeagleorder Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 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
jaba1914 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 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 Alex
Alex K Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Hi Guy's fantastic information, including name. (How do you know from just a spange, amazes me) No unfortunately I don't OWN an image of him but do have one downloaded from the internet, don't now remember where I got it from but was from an image hosting site, I can post if you want but if the copyright holder wants it deleted I will ofcourse oblige Edited February 28, 2013 by Alex K
jaba1914 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 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 Regards Alex
saschaw Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 #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.
ruiz Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Hello . The right ribbon, is not for the Bulgarian Bravery Order. What's the order to corresponds to that ribbon? Best regards.
redeagleorder Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Here is an example on the generic bulgarian war ribbon: (picture from liverpoolmedals.com) Edited March 9, 2013 by redeagleorder
ruiz Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Yes, I have the Bulgarian bravery Order in my collection. The question is, What's the order to corresponds to that ribbon? Best regards.
redeagleorder Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Ah okay, misunderstood your question.... That ribbon is used on all the grades of the Austrian red cross award.
