I have rented my soul to the Devil. Part time. For Bavarian and Navy knowledge ONLY! Not so easy as a Mere Mortal with those steenkin' Prusshuns!!!!!

Sorry that it lasted so long, here is the pic:

Adoption Papers are in the mail

Notice that the 1930s mounter has made a mistake and put the wrong "WW1" war ribbon on the Southwest Africa MVO4X which should have been (and remained) on the statute "peacetime" ribbon.

This is a very common period error.

But not for sons of the district lunatic asylum director.

[Daniel Krause]

According to Hessenthal/Schreiber a earlier MVK with X COULD be worn on the new war ribbon. So a Colonial award updated with the new ribbon is possible for the MVK, so I assume also for the MVO.

Best regards

the only thing i could say
do you have the medalbar, too?

I haven't got the medalbar. I have got a MMJO which number of ring belonged to this officer. I have made research on Bayerische Militärarchiv and I have bought a copy of his file.

I am a bit disapointed because only Rick have found the name of this officer. So he is the only man who can put a name on a ribbon bar which is not prussian ?

Congratulations Rick you are the best !!!

The name of this officer is Lukas Ritter von Kaufmann. In one week I will have my books and the file of this officer and I try to scan it and put it in this forum.
