Auseklis Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Looks realy nice! But why is the ribbon folded austrian style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 I think they probably just aimed for nice design, as opposed to considering austrian style, it is hard to find a nice design with the ribbon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Any idea of the date/timeframe of the document? Or did you get any other docs/materials for the recipient. No first name is annoying, but the likeliest candidate would appear to be Paul Wandschneider, born 5.11.1883 in Käterhagen, Bützow, Mecklenburg, 30.4.16 Lt.d.R. (Wismar) in RIR 214, severely wounded around October 1916 (Pr. Verlustliste 659, 14.10.16), and llving in 1919 with his parents, wife, and 3 children in Dorf Moltenow, Bützow. He received the MMV2 as a Vfw. in RIR 214. It wasn't gazetted until February 1917, by which time he was already commissioned, but there was a big delay in gazetting MMVs in 1916.

Chris Boonzaier Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hi, I think it is probably a later doc for an earlier award, more along the lines of confirming he recieved it, long after the event. best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 That is really nice. I am surprised to see the lack of standardization in these documents. I take it that they were not printed by a government printing office or that the printers were given a lot of latitude with creativity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ho rules, no regulations and no official printers when it comes to the design... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 So individual units paid to have their own documents drafted and printed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
