Kriegsmarine Admiral Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 What is the Breast Star he is wearing above the Breast Star of the Kronen Orden 2. Klasse? Could it be the Großherzoglich Oldenburgischen Haus- und Verdienstorden des Herzogs Peter Friedrich Ludwig? If yes, which class? Perhaps Großkreuz, because he is wearing a sash? Again, nothing in the Rangliste. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdC26 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Sash looks like the GK des M-S Greiffenordens to me. Not an unusual award for Naval officers of flag rank. Pic is too blurry to make out the star, but it might be of the same order. The Oldenburg Hausorden GK sash would in my view look different in b/w.

On his portrait photo we can see he was awarded the Honour Grand Cross of the Oldenburg House and Merit Order of Peter Friedrich Ludwig. See the sash, circled breast star and cross at the end of the sash. In my opinion, Char. Vizeadmiral Hermann Alberts that we discussed above, is wearing the same sash and breast star as Schack. I believe that Alberts is then also wearing the Honour Grand Cross of the Oldenburg House and Merit Order of Peter Friedrich Ludwig and not the GK des M-S Greiffenordens like you suggested before. The sashes look exactly the same in black and white. Do you agree? Regards Edited October 26, 2020 by Kriegsmarine Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the sash, circled breast star and cross at the end of the sash. Quite possible, given the construction of the crown suspension. The pic again is of poor quality, and I would expect the blue field to come out differently in B/W. But the construction of the suspension suggests you are correct. Quote In my opinion, Char.

The sashes look exactly the same in black and white. Do you agree? That is very much in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? The quality of both pics is poor, but the sash in hte Albert looks lighter to me. That said, yellow has a tendency to come out funny in B/W (check out pics of the Zentenarmedaille), so perhaps you are right. Why don't you convert the color pics I set out above to B/W and compare them to the Alberts pic? That may give better insights than trying to compare the colors on two low res poor quality B/W pics. Just my 5cts. Kind regards, Sandro Quote Edited October 26, 2020 by GdC26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The admiral is Funke, and his awards are relatively clear in the cut out. I think I posted a further pic of Funke as well, so between these two pics, quite a lot of research should be possible.
