Bänderkatalog reference number request

[Frosch]

So that I can order some ribbons for a few loose Imperial awards that need to be completed, I would like to know some reference numbers for ribbons from Nimmergut's Bänderkatalog (which I don't yet have). However, I do have the OEK book and can quote the reference numbers from that.

Can anyone help, please?

The awards for which I would like to know the ribbon reference numbers are:

OEK 81 Anhalt Friedrich-Kreuz, am Band für Kämpfer
OEK 431 Bayern Militär-Verdienstkreuz des MVO 3.Klasse, Kriegsband
OEK 1039 Hohenzollern silberne Verdienstmedaille "1842" mit Schwertern
OEK 2286 Sachsen bronzene Friedrich-August-Medaille, Kriegsband
OEK 2313 Sachsen Dienstauszeichnung
OEK 2618 Sachsen-Altenburg Tapferkeitsmedaille, Kämpferband
OEK 2718 Sachsen-Meiningen Ehrenzeichen für Verdienst im Kriege, Kämpferband

Many thanks in advance,

David

OEK 81 Anhalt Friedrich-Kreuz = Band 27

OEK 431 Bayern Militär-Verdienstkreuz des MVO 3.Klasse, Kriegsband = ???*

OEK 1039 Hohenzollern silberne Verdienstmedaille = Band 249
OEK2286 Sachsen bronzene Friedrich-August-Medaille, Kriegsband = Band 492
OEK 2313 Sachsen Dienstauszeichnung = Band 502
OEK 2618 Sachsen-Altenburg Tapferkeitsmedaille, Kämpferband = Band 546
OEK 2718 Sachsen-Meiningen EZfViK, Kämpferband = Band 568


* I do not know what you mean by OEK 431, "Kriegsband" since that is the PEACETIME number of that class (Band 98) NOT awarded (WW1) with SWORDS-- that would either be frontline Band 99, or War Merit Band 100, depending on what you mean. You mean the M1913 MVK 3rd Class, which of the three forms?

Rick,

Thanks very much for the prompt reply and pointing out my error. For the Bavarian MVK I referenced the wrong number.

I meant the ribbon for the cross with swords or swords and crown when awarded for 1914-1918 frontline service (OEK 432 or 434?) - is this frontline Band 99?

Thanks again,

David

Yes-- 99 for at the front. It doesn't matter what the CLASS was for any grades wearable on a medal bar, MVO or MVK.

Thank you, Rick.


You certainly help to keep my learning curve steep.
