Wow! bring it out please!

Hello Lew,

with "Order of Zähringen Lion Knight 3rd class, with oaks and swords" do you mean the Order of Zähringen Lion Knight 1 class, with oaks and swords or the Order of Zähringen Lion Knight 2 class, with oaks and swords... I think it is the last one because there is no RAO 3 class or 4 class and no KrO 3 class...and I expect this for a wearer of the Order of Zähringen Lion Knight 1 class...and this class isn't matching with "Albert Order Knight 1 Class, with oaks and swords".

And this may be both Knights 2 class

- Order of Zähringen Lion, class ?

- Albert Order, class ?

Regards

Werner

Due to a lagged software maintenance I had to cancel my today's shop update, but I hardly can keep you on tenterhooks for two more weeks now...

Werner found him anyway, so, here he is: Major im Generalstab, later Generalleutnant Richard Waenker von Dankenschweil (born 1876, died 1937).

Never seen his SA3aX Godet device before... or such a nice one on his BZ3bXE

[lew]

Found a crystal clear photo of him and his post WWI medal bar... a funeral photo.

[Guest Rick Research]

I've never seen awards ON the deceased before-- I wonder if he had himself PLANTED like that? Well, that's one less medal bar to look out for!

[M Hunter]

Impressive photo Lew.

Rick, here is another, just for you! (apologies, a little off topic)

Best wishes

Just found this in my photo archive. Matching medal bar?

Best wishes

[Guest Rick Research]

The Prussian Hohenzollern House Order on both bars is improperly mounted with the Principality's ribbon!

But son of a gun, you're right: that's his exact not wearing everything in the box set!

Just found this in my photo archive. Matching medal bar?

That's 100% match...

[Guest Rick Research]

Lew-- Nick's got me back up and running to add to the permanent Ribbon Bar Article here-- could I add the amazing Godet devices never seen before?

[lew]

Sure thing! anything I can contribute, let me know.

[Guest Rick Research]

Much appreciated! They're up on the 2nd page of devices now. Thanks!

Rick, it's my pleasure.
