spolei Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 back 100_1238.JPG Hello, a very nice bar. The stamp on the backside is from the manufacturer Hemmerle. The MVO has a pre-war ribbon. Sorry, that I can't identify the owner. Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 The Jubilee Medal for the Bavarian Army means he was alive after 1905, but the lack of any World War I decorations means he may have died before the war (so no WW1 medals) or during the war (so no remounting of the medal bar). At least a major, possibly up to colonel. The Bavarian regiment most closely associated with Braunschweig was the 1. schweres Reiter-Regiment, in which Duke Ernst August was a lieutenant and later a la suite.

Hello, I have to look, when the crown of the MVO was awarded. I think it was also in 1905. On the bar, I'm missing the Centenarmedal. The officer has the servicemedal for 24 years, so the medal was given to him. Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among serving soldiers who were not veterans of 1870/71, it was mainly only awarded to members of regiments stationed in Alsace-Lorraine in 1897. These were: Stab 10.Inf.Brig. (Metz) Stab 5.Kav.Brig. (Dieuze) 4.IR (Metz) 8.IR (Metz) 3.ChevR (Dieuze) 5.ChevR (Saargemünd, except for 2./5.ChevR in Zweibrücken) II./23.IR (Saargemünd) I./2.FußAR (Metz) IIII./2.FußAR (Metz) There were also a number of random awards for which I am unsure of the specific reason. Some are because they were commanded to Prussian units at the time of the award. Among these, for example, was Anton Ritter von Löhr. Then Second-Lieutenant Löhr was at the Prussian Militär-Turnanstalt from 1.10.1896 to 1.8.1897. But if you look at the Militär-Handbuch des Königreichs Bayern nach dem Stande vom 1. Dezember 1897, you can see that most Bavarians did not have the medal. Regards Edited March 4, 2013 by Dave Danner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bar was not making sense if the wearer should have received the Centenary medal. It appears his service was in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

I think WNickel is telling you that this bar belonged to Oberstleutnant außer Dienst Baron von Sartor auf Gansheim. Congratulations!
