The vast majority of the Zähringen Lions awarded to Saxon officers in World War I were to IR 103 officers.

In December I ordered books from Germany and they were sent off via DHL.  Despite my efforts with the US Post Office and the seller's attempts no one could figure out where the books were.  In March, the books just showed up.  There was a note attached saying the delivery could not be made in Jan!.   But, miraculously, they were delivered in March.

I believe but can not prove, that the fact my address  was handwritten, our post office workers could not decipher the handwriting, even though it was clear, to include the ZIP code.   They just rejected it.

My only advice to you is wait, wait and wait some more.  Also, in the future ask your seller to type the address if that is not something they ordinarily do.

It's maddening to have to wait so long, but I fear that the level of effort put forth these days by the USPS leaves a great deal to be desired.
