VtwinVince Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 That is a great Nachlass, any idea who the recipient was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxcob Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 That is a great Nachlass, any idea who the recipient was? Not yet, unfortunately. However, the combination of the House Order of Hohenzollern and the Landwehr Dienstauszeichnung 2nd class seems to be rare enough to leave some space for hope.

Chris Boonzaier Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 That is an interesting group!! Imagine if it still had the documents!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxcob Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 That would have been great indeed. However, it would at the same time also have disappointed the Sherlock in us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 A silly question maybe, but was the Hohenzollern AND the EK2 ribbon worn in the Buttonhole, or just one? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I love this group. As Chris state, documents would tie it together perfectly. At least the ribbon bars are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
