This is fantastic! I was just asking Ricky to start a thred like this so I could see them all and learn! I have a request: Could you please not use abreviations?! And if you could name the class, type, ribbon type and what and who these were awarded to, this would be really educational for all us new guys!PLEEEEEZE!
Maybe start with bronze ones as I believe they are the lowest class
Thanks Boys!!!
Best, Sal

Sal,
The abbreviations aren't TOO bad once you get used to them. Here is a Militär-Verdienstkreuz 3.Klasse mit Schwertern und mit der Krone(MVK3mXmdKr), which was the starting level for NCOs. Also, an enlisted man could "add" a crown to his MVK3 if he proved his bravery a second time. This is on the war ribbon.

Military Merit Cross....
....with Swords, but without the Crown, so just MVK3mX. This was the one given to privates. This one had the war ribbon, but it is in absolute shreds so it is stored seperately. These 3rd class bronze crosses, as well as the available crowns to each class, were instituted in 1913 and given through 1918; the 1st and 2nd classes had been instituted in 1866, with swords instituted in 1905.

Eric,
Take a look to my thread started in May 2002:

Beautiful MVKs you have, especially the ones without crown and with the "Friedensband"!
Ciao,

--I've got a few of these, I'll have to take a few pics. One of the more elegant of the Imperial shiny-things - just beautiful pieces, guys!
--I've got a question. I have a lone Militär-Verdienstkreuz 3.Class with crown and Swords hanging on the same and very wrong ribbon for a few years now.I haven't been able to find a ribbon, and I've looked quite a bit. Anyone have any ideas?
--I've noticed that people put their 'wants' as their signatures, maybe I'll take that route...
