Well he got the officers cross of Brunswick, so it might be a good fit. Ah! Good candidate! According to the DOA1908, he held an RAO4, Saxon LD2 and the Austrian Franz Joseph. He was head of the Kriminalpolizei Dresden at the time. So if you can confirm the Brunswick order, this should be him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello @webr55 as said before, he got the officers cross of Brunswick on 8th December 1912, see the original list from the archive of Brunswick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Sine Deo Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hello dear gentlemen, So it seems to be Oberregierungsrat Karl Andreas Ernst Becker. I searched him on the internet since Monday but I couldn’t find anything about him. I would like to thank to Mr. Stephan (BlackcowboyBS), honestly, I couldn’t ever have found him, I can’t even find informations about him. Best regards, Iulian.

Hello, When I started the research about the piece, it was not listed for sale, but in the meantime something else appeared for sale that is in my main interest and I’ve thought to sell it because I need the money to buy that item. The second reason is because I love history very much and for me, the research it’s like a treasure hunt, where I acquire important informations about how to find and how to recognise the recipients of the Medals and Orders that belonged to Germany. Best regards, Iulian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
