For Char. Konteradmiral Andreas Fischer I found an award under the abbreviation BRJM. What does it mean?

Hello,

 

Can anyone help me with this abbreviation from the Personalakte of Konteradmiral z.V. Paul Hönicke?

I think it's "a. k. o." with the award date 14. III. 1905 written next to it.

Is it the award date for the Rettungsmedaille am Bande that is written below it?

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: I think I found my answer. "a. k. o." should be the Allerhöchste Kabinettsorder.

@Dave Danner it always amazes me that you guys can decipher these entries. Rick tried to teach me back in the day but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. Thanks for all your help and contributions to the community!

Dear forumites,

 

Do you have a list of the KuK Austrian Order& Medals‘ abbreviations taken from the glossary of the KuK Austrian Rangliste? 
 

A dear friend of mine and collector, would like to know what awards Major Aurel Schwabik was bestowed on. Some of them I can guess from the abbreviations but not quite from the pictograms (see below 👇 photo of the concerned kuk rangliste‘s page):

 

EKO-R.3. (KD) = maybe Orden der Eisernen Krone, 3. Klasse mit der Kriegsdekoration 

MVK.3. (KD) = easy one… Militärverdienstorden 3. Klasse (Kriegsdekoration)

and so on…

 

I would really appreciate if somebody would post here a scan of such list here for future reference.

 

Thanks in advance for your inputs and information.

 

cheers
