Les Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Ralph, nice. Some of the Silesian birdies were made after the Weimar period. I have an LDO example with a clam-shell screwback I've posted before. For those who didn't see it the first time, here it is one last time.Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 (edited) The only one I have, in a group.Advance apologoies for ignorance: Can anyone provide some background to this award and those who received it? Just how odious were these boys? Bad as the Freicorps types? Edited May 24, 2006 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike K Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hi,Love that enameled Meybauer at the top of the thread! I've never managed to pick up a second class of this award - never found the one that was quite right for me.My 4 examples are below. Intersting how the solid Meybauers always seem to have a GOLD/BRONZE finish to them - it seems to be more than a basemetal effect.RegardsMikeObverse...

Gerd Becker Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Ed, as far as i know, the Schlesian Eagle was awarded to Members of the Borderguard of the 6th Army Corps.2nd class for 3 months good conduct in the borderguards for Schlesia.1st class for 6 months good conduct in the borderguards for Schlesia.The badge had to be purchased by the awardees themself. Versions with swords or swords/oaks were unofficial.Gerd Edited May 25, 2006 by Gerd Becker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Gerd is correct, the swords/wreath examples are unofficial, but accepted variants and very hard to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian von Etzel Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) Can anyone provide some background to this award and those who received it? Just how odious were these boys? Bad as the Freicorps types?Can anyone shed some light on why all these veterans were deserving of being hated? "Odious".This is my uncle who was 'there' post WWI. To my knowledge, limited, he was a nice guy but if something odious occurred, I'm curious.Literature on Weimar military engagements has eluded me. Any good reference ideas?
