    Keith B,

    With regard to your posts #141 & #142, I can?t help but wonder if the two pinback crosses are superimposed. They are both straight up and down, absolutely head on and there are no shadows on them.

    We have seen examples of this being done in other photographs, usually with PlM?s. I do not mean this as criticism (it is not detracting); just a sort of technical point.

    Best wishes,

    Posted in the "Rolls" thread, my contribution to Reuss phaleristics:

    http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1640...st&p=192033

    Orders and decorations of the Principality of Reuss-Schleiz (Reuss j?ngere Linie) listed in the Amts- und Verordnungsblatt, 1915-1918

    These are primarily civil decorations, although many are on the war ribbon, and one Lifesaving Medal was to a Flieger for saving the life of an NCO. Mostly awards of the various grades of the Honor Cross, the merit crosses and medals, plus 4 Lifesaving Medals, 3 Medals for Art and Science, and one with a really long name I can't remember right now (for females for war aid).

    I also should be adding a supplement with non-Reuss decorations also gazetted in the Amts- und Verordnungsblatt. These are mainly from Mecklenburg-Schwerin, along with a few from Saxony, Bavaria and the other Thuringian states.

    Didn't know that Meybauer ventured into other decorations.

    The 1st Class, with swords. This is a wartime silver gilt piece. The ribbon is for a knight but, that's what was on it when I got it. It will have to do unless I luck up on the correct size.

    As far as I know the number awarded is unknowm but, it must have been very low. This grade was awarded to Obersts through Major Generals so, it probably went mostly to a few regimental and divisional commanders related to Reuss units.
