    unknown flieger grouping

    Here a grouping I recently got.
    the flight badge I dedicate a thread about belongs to it, along with wound badge,
    and two EKs and a picture.
    There is no strong provenance and I can only go back to the acution house that sold it to a collector years back...so as fair as I know and with some skepticism it could also be old collector put together stuff.
    But I like to think these decorations belonged to that guy and I found it cool anyway.
    In the back of the picture there is a writing...fallen in Rinkeln in 1919..probably
    freikorps fighting?
    ciao Mario

    Hi Mario!
    Its getting better and better - the crosses are pretty as well!
    And the inscription says: "Erhalten", not "Gefallen" - I think that´s the date the picture was recieved.
    By whom from where might never be revealed...
    Nice grouping, though! (Try to magnify the cross - maybe the typical crown can be identified...)
    Regards

      guess that looking at your location you know what you're talking about .feel reliefed thinking that flieger survived and maybe had a loong happy marriage with that girl

                maybe you're right, good eye. here is a close up ....
                as I said at the beginning the provenance is not documented ..it can be a put together ...I bought the grouping cause I was looking for a nice issue badge and the Eks...I tend to buy the objects not the story (unless undisputable provenance is proven) so no fun spoiled ...and as far as I know he could have had more than one EK to wear...maybe....or ..is really a put together....guess l'll never know
