Mattyboy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 I can't wait, and my scan won't be any better than the image from ebay. So here it is:-Not sure who either of them are - any ideas?
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Love that Bavarian Moustache in the last pic!!
Chris Boonzaier Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I am guessing the guys wearing the badge without a wound badge were photographed before the intruduction of the wound badge?
ixhs Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Not everyone had a wound badge. The bloody Ludwig was also given to people who did not have the WB. There were also some Württemberger with it. 1
Mattyboy Posted June 30, 2019 Author Posted June 30, 2019 Now that the auction is over, here is another nice photo of this award being worn. He is also wearing the Hohenzollern and possibly the Hamburg Hanseatic Cross. There can't be too many men with this combo, it's just a shame that his name was not on the back of the photo....
Dave Danner Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 The third ribbon is undoubtedly the Hessian General Honor Decoration "For Bravery". He's probably a reserve officer. Can you read the number on his shoulder boards? BTW, I modified the thread title to the proper name for the award.
graham Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Two more pic's: - https://antique-photos.com/en/awardsdatabase/german-empire/hessen/288-krieger-ehrenzeichen-in-eisen.html
Mattyboy Posted July 4, 2019 Author Posted July 4, 2019 Hi Dave & Graham, Thanks for your replies and the additional photos. Unfortunately I'm not very good at reading the shoulder boards, but I have inverted the colour which might help a bit? Looks like I got the other award completely wrong! Here is another photo
Mattyboy Posted September 16, 2019 Author Posted September 16, 2019 Ok here is another one. The Hohenzollern is nice too! Note that he doesn't have the wound badge yet...
The Prussian Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Great photo! I´m still looking for an original award...

Mattyboy Posted September 25, 2019 Author Posted September 25, 2019 Hi all, About the last photo I posted (with the Hohenzollern): can anyone confirm what awards are on his ribbon bar? Any chance of identifying this man perhaps? Thanks
