9er Feldspange for ID

[Claudio]

Dear forumites,

 

My brother has acquired a ribbon bar...  (see below picture). Any comments or help in order to identify this bar? 

• EK 2 Kl. 1914
• HHOX
• RAO4
• Pr DA25 f. Offz
• Centenarmedaille
• Hessen, Tapferkeitsmedaille (?)
• Hamburg, Hansakreuz
• Bremen, Hansakreuz
• KuK Österreich-Ungarn, Militärverdienstkreuz 3. Kl. mit Kriegsdekoration

Thank you all in advance!

 

 

ciao,

 

Claudio

The reverse of the ribbon bar... I guess no clue here if it's Kriegsmarine or not... or maybe it's a confirmation that this officer must have been army...

Very nice. I don't think it can be Identified as the first five ribbons are common to officers and the award rolls for the last four do not exist. What is the color of the backing?

[Claudio]

Hi Paul,

 

I just edited my thread with a picture of the backing... For me it was Army... first I thought Navy... but I'm more inclined on Army now. Too bad that the Bremen-rolls are not available... According to Nimmergut, the company A. J. Richter Hamburg manufactured 306 crosses and the company Koch & Bergfeld Bremen about 20'500. Always accordingly Nimmergut about 20'018 crosses were awarded.

Hi Claudio,

 

if I remember right the big brother of this ribbon bar was showing up at a german shop maybe 10 years ago... but I think without name too

My guess is army too

[Daniel Krause]

Hi Claudio, my best guess would be Joachim von Zitzewitz, 1869-1929, Major in 1914, mostly General Staffer, finished as full Colonel.

I have him with exactly this combo in my database.

 

Lots of greetings

Daniel
