ixhs Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Hi again! I got this pic showing 2 bavarian frontfighters. The guy on the right Unteroffzier seems to be from a FLAK bataillon, because he´s wearing a Regimentsmedaille after his MVK3X (seem he got it as a EM) I`ve never seem this Regimentsmedaille. It shows some soldiers with a cannon attacking a airplane. Does anybody know more about that medal? Thanks. The pic (card) is ungelaufen. It was taken in Weissenburg (Franken) zähringer.tif Edited July 13, 2018 by ixhs
IrishGunner Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Hi, I couldn't zoom to get a clear enough look at the medal in question. And, unfortunately, I can't identify it further. However, I really doubt it's a regiment medal. I have several regiment medals for field artillery; they are for commemoration of the regiment's founding - these all date pre-WWI. I would think his MVK3X is for war service; so, I doubt this other medal is one of those commemorative regiment medals. (Besides he's pretty young to have both a pre-war regiment medal and a war time MVK3X) So, hopefully, a Bavarian expert will have better clues.
ixhs Posted July 15, 2018 Author Posted July 15, 2018 Thanks a lot. I will try to make a better detail pic. I think it is a Regimentsmedaille, too. But i have never seen that piece hanging on a bar.
