    Miniatyre Chain / Sächsische Karabinier-Regiment / Baltic Division / Finland


    Recommended Posts

    Hello Gentlemen,

    recently, I could acquire this interesting miniatyre chain from a Baltic Division-veteran.

    All I could research for my own is the fact, that this guy must have been from the "Sächsische Karabinier-Regiment". On the chain the following crosses are missing:

    • Weimarer-Medaille
    • KVK 2
    • Helsinki Medaille 1938

    The "Sächsische Karabinier-Regiment" was located in the city of Borna.

    Is someone out there who can give a name to this chain?

    I will be very thankful.

    Best regards

    Mikko

    Very nice chain, congrats and thanks for sharing it with us.

    I found a name :

    Oblt Walter Schintling Horny

    But there is more names

    Lt d. R. Hans Leo

    Oblt Horst Rößing.

    That's all I have, like I have no more medals after 1934

    Thanks Christophe,

    hm, maybe an additional information (the last I have - wanted to keep it to see whether someone hits the name straight...).

    The seller told that him was told (and maybe so on...) that the guy was Oblt Grimm (or Graim)...

    That's all I have...

    Maybe a hint? Maybe not!

    Cheers

    thank you, christophe. so the research is going on...

    maybe the volkspflege decoration can be a key. and the veteran must have been still alive in 1938 due to the helsinki medal...ok, all lot of baltic division veterans have been quite young :)

    hello,

    i found out, that the soldier also received an ek1 in ww1. could this information help to find a name?

    it would be also interesting to know, christophe, when your possible candidates had died. one could only receive a helsinki medal when stoll alive in 1938?!

    regards
