Unknown bavarian officer with china-medal and saxon award

[Leutwein]

Hi all,

today I received this nice and interesting photo. It shows a bavarian officer (captain) with the following awards:

-Jubiläumsmedaille

-SA3b

-China-medal in bronze for fighters (in my opinion it looks like a bronze one)

-bavarian long service cross for 24 years

 

Unfortunately I´m not able to identify the insignia on his shoulderboard but the photo was taken in Munich....

....so I assume that he was a member in one of the following regiments:

Infanterie-Leib-Regiment

1. Infanterie-Regiment „König“

2. Infanterie-Regiment „Kronprinz“

Right?

 

I checked all bavarians participants of China 1900/1901 but no sucess.....

 

....my hottest candidat is:

Oberleutnant

Färber

Bayr. 11. I.-R.   7

 

Unfortunately the SA3b is missing....but I have no idea if Oblt. Färber received the saxon award some years later.

For those candidates I couldn´t also find any infos:

Leutnant	Frhr. v. Stengl		Bayr. 22. I.-R.   5
Hauptmann	Kraft		Bayr. 23. I.-R.   6
Hauptmann	Graf v. Berri della Bosia gen. v. Külberg auf Gansheim u. Berg		Bayr. I.-L.-R.   7
Leutnant	Raila		Bayr. 2. I.-R.   5
Leutnant	Neumaier		Bayr. 10. I.-R.   7
Leutnant	Leeb		Bayr. 4. F.-R.

 

So one of them could also be possible.....If nobody of them would match, it could also be possible that the china medal is a steel-version.

 

I would be very thankful if someone could identify him.

 

I have only the bavarian 1911-Rangliste and had no sucess. Maybe he was retired at 1911.

 

Thanks a lot and have a nice day

Karsten,

perfect match for Hauptmann Hans v. Schlichtegroll of 1. Infanterie-Regiment König in 1909.

You will find him as a Major in your 1911 list. The China medal is the award in steel.

Wow thanks a lot Glenn

 

Hans von Schlichtegroll received his MVO4 on 11th March 1911 but when did he receive his RAO4?

I was thinking that the china-medal is a bronze one because it´s looking so dark like the Jubiläumsmedaille.....so I was researching in the wrong way 

Thanks a lot for identify him.

Best regards

Karsten,

awarded the RAO4 on 17 September 1909. Permission granted to accept and wear the award per order of 8 October 1909 and published in the Bavarian War Ministry Verordnungsblatt Nr. 34 of 25 October 1909.

Thanks a lot again Glenn,

 

so the photo must be taken between 1905 and March 1909.

Nice

Best regards

Karsten

I just saw this thread and although it's unnecessary now, I was going to tell you that the cypher is that of the 1.b.I.R. König. I don't know much about medal research, but I can usually identify cyphers.
