spolei Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Thanks a Lot, he also got the Jubileemedal and was Member of the Verein der Tapferkeitsmedaillenträger past 1955 Ortsgruppe München. I don't know anything about Leiberring for Officers. In my list, I have found Ring Nr. 1086 for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi, He got the manschaftsring in Jan 1919, but is also on the list for the officers ring, recuieved 1920. I wish i could find a photo of the officers ring!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spolei Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 In Ingolstadt was a exhibition about the Alpencorps. There are some decorations of Konrad Krafft von Delmensingen. There was a ring, possibly it is the officers-ring. Sorry about the bad pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi, a nice ring, but a commercial prewar ring made by Deschler ... before the war it was known as a "Leiberring" as well... see here at the bottom of the page.... http://kaiserscross.com/69501/566501.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spolei Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I've read in a WW1 forum, that the Leiber-Officersring has a Lionshead.Offiziere einen Löwenkopf, Mannschaften die bayerische Raute und die Königskrone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 The Leib Regt Histolry says a Lions Head for the offirers ring and a ILR mongram on the inside. We would need clear photos of rings worn by Epp to maybe see one? Or ferdinand schörner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the group itself is super cool, especially as he was an MG guy from 1914 to 1918 and missed none of the major actions... the ring may be a rather "niche" item... but is waaaay sexy!!

dond Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I imagine he took the ring to his grave, literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 OK... how is this for a 1 in a million shot. Think of how many tens of million WW1 German photos there are.... then think that at some stage you have a small pile of Leibregiment pics in a box, 10-15 pics in the office of a historical society... 2 are named.... and one just happens to be the officer above.... I almost fell off my chair! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
