ArHo Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I just got this picture and found it interesting enough to post. It belongs to a Reserve-Regiment 119 (Württemberg) group but this man seems to wear the ribbon of the bayerische Militärverdienstkreuz - with a metal crown and swords on top. My question: Would you experts consider this "common"? I cannot remember seeing it before... Cheers ArHo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentius Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I have not seen it before with an BMVK3xKR, however I have seen it with wreaths and crowned swords for orders. This tradition can be seen roughly from WW1 up to 1945. I recall a picture of Oberst von Limburg who wore a ribbon with wreath through his buttonhole for his Wurttembergian MVO. This picture of General von Manstein illustrates the wearing of a HoHx-miniature through the buttonhole. Kind regards, Laurentius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I don’t recall ever seeing enlisted men wearing devices on their button hole ribbons. It’s very nice to see such a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArHo Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Thanks for your feedback! I am glad to hear that I was not wrong and this is really something not seen all too often ? Unformtunately this picture is the best I can do - tha badge is just too small even for a ver good camera... Cheers ArHo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
