Chris Boonzaier Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I posted this, or parts of it ages ago... but just found these pics on a stick again.... A friend called me to tell me he knew a guy who had the medals of a distant relative and was looking to sell them... so I bought them... it turned out to be the awards of three men, all which were distantly related, but had somehow been passed down to a relative who had them all in the box. I will say in advance, I ended up splitting the lot. One group was to a Bavarian Jäger officer (MVO4, EK2, Austrian, Dienstauszeichnung, EK1 and the docs for the MVO and Austrian, plus extra ribbon and cases and a bunch of photos) the second was to a Veternarian (MVK1class with swords, EK2, Ehrenkreuz) and the third was the 1870 bar. There was no direkt relation between the men so I eneded keeping the Jäger and passing on the rest. Unfortunately for some reason I did not have the MVK medals in the pic... so photo opportunity missed.... but still, opening a box like this was a real treat..... The edelweiss and 2 jäger badges were not with it and just for show.... part 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spolei Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Nice find, I like it very much. The bar and the boxes of the awards. The clasp on picure three could belong to the Jäger-officer, this clasp would changed in 1913 to the Landwehr-service medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
