    Just phantastic, thanks!!!

    So no EK II or I ... too bad! I thought maybe Eiserner Halbmond, because he was "Führer der kolonialen Erkundungsmission in der Türkei", but sadly not?!

    我不知道英文怎么说,但是指挥官勋章是桑给巴尔苏丹国的“耀眼之星”勋章

    I don’t know how to say it in English, but the Commander’s order is the "Dazzling Star" order of the Sultanate of Zanzibar

    Great pictures! Who is the second officier? He looks so familiar! English: Order of the Brilliant Star of Zanzibar; German (according to the Ranglisten): Orden „Der strahlende Stern“ (sometimes also Orden vom Glänzenden Stern). Do you maybe have a nice picture of the star or the Großkreuz?
