saxcob Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Gentlemen Please find below some items which belonged to Heinrich v. Maur (Born 1863 in Ulm - Died 1947 in Stuttgart) and some additional illustrating images. Since quite some research has already been done on his career I limit myself to just referring to that: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_von_Maur http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/WEHRMACHT/HEER/General2/MAUR_HEINRICH.html http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showpost.php?s=db463cb2679b99f51d322b26cbcd958c&p=2729974&postcount=8 The Pour le mérite is not the original one. However, the case probably is. The certificate is a copy. His epaulets as Colonel of the Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Prinz-Regent Luitpold von Bayern (2. Württembergisches) Nr. 29 are most likely unique since he was the only Colonel to wear those after the "29" was removed and replaced by the crowned "L" in 1913.

922F Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The 4 point breast star [last image, under medal group] suggests a Bulgarian Military Merit Order 2nd class not listed in Maur's on-line award entitlement. Any confirmation or discussion on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W McSwiggan Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Please note - Oberscharfuhrer was an enlisted rank. The article and one photo show him as an Oberfuhrer (senior colonel) and I think one photo shows him wearing insignia of a Brigadefuhrer (Generalmajor).
