Hello Trevor, the shield on the langet looks as a coat of arms , the bird on it says Falke ( Falcon ) or some name related as Falkenhayn , Falkenstein , Falkenhorst, Falkenberg and so on

[Trevor]

About luddendorf 70 birthday the famous surgeon Ferdinand Sauerbruch wrote that he was congratulating the General with a bunch of friends and suddenly arrived Hitler, after a brief salutation the Fuhrer said , Herr General I decided to nominate you Field Marshall here is the diplom, Luddendorf answered : Herr Hitler , one not nominate a Feldmarschall during Peace and less when he is in his home taking cofee and fruit cake with wife and friends !
