ixhs Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) -reactivated veteran. -Württemberger -No Auflage on the ribbon on the württemberg MMM - so it should be the silver grade. -seems like an NCO who was promoted to Lt./1st Lt in the meantime of war. - in this rank he earned the Friedrich order knight2 X may be the bavarian MVO4X/ austrian MMC with war decoration. later he was reactivated - i think he finished war as a captain or major in the etappe (because of the war merit cross 2nd class X and clasp to the IC2) In my opinion no real chance to ID that guy. May be he served at the italian front (Alpenkorps). Edited June 30, 2018 by ixhs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 33 minutes ago, ixhs said: -reactivated veteran. -No Auflage on the ribbon on the württemberg MMM - so it should be the silver grade. Hi, why reactivated veteran? He is wearing the golden eagles on his Dienstauszeichnungen, so 25 and 12 years why Württemberg MMM silver? The ribbon is also for the Militärverdienstorden Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Andreas, for the WM3, there should be a green-enameled wreath, and for the WgM, there should be a gilt wreath. These Auflagen were sometimes missing, so it could be one of these, but more likely the WsM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixhs Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) I agree. Of course it could be the a MVO - but i cannot see the typical 2 little holes for the device. Reactivated ---> his later service in WW2 Reichswehr = 100.000 Mann Truppe most of the Berufssoldaten/Offiziere wurden entlassen und später um 1936 bei Wiedereinführung der Wehrpflicht wieder reaktiviert.

Dave Danner Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 It is actually the ribbon of the Cross and Medal of Military Virtue. This ribbon was used as a war decoration for both the Order of the Star of Romania and the Order of the Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
