landsknechte Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I'm working on IDing a ribbon bar that's basically boiled down to cross referencing Bavarian Militärverdienstkreuz 1.Klasse mit Krone und Schwertern (MVK1XmKr) and the Saxe-Ernestine House Order/Medal. Between the Bavarian Verordnungsblatt and the 1929 Intendantur Kriegsrangliste I've been able to compile a mostly complete list of the MVK1XmKr. I've currently got 119 recipients of it on the war merit ribbon, and 6 on the standard wartime ribbon. Out of that, I've identified one reasonably solid candidate, but If at all possible, I want to work through the rest of the list to be certain. According to Bernd Döbel's numbers, I'm missing 19 names for the war merit ribbon and 2 for the standard ribbon. I suspect that a good number of them were gazetted in the Verordnungsblatt incorrectly, and they're hiding in plain sight. I've seen a couple of confirmed MVK1XmKr that lost their crown when they appeared in the Verordnungsblatt, and were listed as MVK1X. I'm looking to compare my list to whatever rolls might be around, to see if we can fill in some of those blanks. If you've got access to the relevant rolls, and you'd be willing to cross check my list against them, let me know. Alternatively, anyone have any suggestions for sources that would be worth checking out? Were there any newspapers that reliably published these sort of award recipients?
