Orden und Ehrenzeichen

[tgn]

I picked up a WW1 Bavarian paybook at a show over the weekend. Can anyone tell me what awards he won. I recognize the Bavarian War Service Cross 2nd Class with Swords, but the others elude me.

The last two are:
Prussian EK2
BMVK2 with swords

[Klaus O.]

The first inscription looks like "JM", maybe they meant a "Jubiläum-Medaille", which it could be the Bavarian Luipold Medal. The second is harder to read for me, but I can see a D (maybe for Dienstauszeichnung), which I could translate it for a Long Service award, very likely for reserve troops (Landwehr?).

Ciao,

Yes, maybe D Abz 1 for Dienst Abzeichen 1?

[Gerdan]

The 2nd entry I read :

D Az 1


Gerdan

[tgn]

Gerden, of course you are correct.

It is D Az 1 for Dienst Auszeichnung 1

Thanks for all your help, guys. Maybe I should post the list of actions he was in??

Tom

[Don D.]

of course you should.

[McCulloh]

what's his name? i assume he's a Sergeant in a Bavarian IR or artillery regt.

[Dave Danner]

BMVK2X is a Feldwebel or Vizefeldwebel level award.

[tgn]

Correct, Feldwebel Hans März, 3/7. Inf Rgt.

I will show some more pages of the paybook soon.
