The 8. is a Bulgarian Military merit order, crown and red enamel, don't know the grade

Hi,

1) Probably Serbian Order of Saint Sava (?Commander's Cross Grade, possibly only Knight's Cross grade - you'd need to show the suspension loop.
2) Ehrenzeichen der III. Marine Brigade von Loewenfeld 1st Class Cross (Freikorps award)
3) Auszeichnungen der II. Marine Brigade Wilhelmshaven (Ehrhardt) - Verdienstabzeichen (Freikorps award)
4) Hindenburg Cross for NON-combattants
5) Schlesien Adler 2nd Class (Freikorps award) - looks like a nice enamel example
6) Wehrmacht 18 Yr Long Service Award
7) Wehrmacht ?12 Yr (possibly 4 Yr) Long Service Award - can't remember the regs as to which this should be.
8) as per Theodor above.

The small round first medal on the medal bar is probably quite an important one - any chance of a close-up.

As for ID - you'll need the pro's for that!

Regards
Mike

Thanks so much for the great help Theo and Mike.

1) Probably Serbian Order of Saint Sava (?Commander's Cross Grade, possibly only Knight's Cross grade - you'd need to show the suspension loop.

Unfortunately, the suspension loop is hidden by bow tie, but I think that it is Knight's cross grade, too. I wonder when he were given this and Bulgarian Order.

The small round first medal on the medal bar is probably quite an important one - any chance of a close-up.

I think that it is a button of the frock coat.

Best regards
Haruki

I could be way off base, but the coloring of this photo makes me think it may even be a modern photo.

Omg!!!!!

Oh my God.
I would not have believed this if I did not see it.
That's a Commanders' Cross of Saint Sava.
If you want to sell that photo please call me.
This man-a kick-ass Freikorps officer is wearing (@1938/39) two illegal Freikorps awards in this photo-something I have seen done twice before in 11 years+ of looking.
The kicker is the noncombat HK.
I only have the 1931 Reichsmarine list-but he'll stick out like a sore thumb in the 1939 list.
GREAT PICTURE!!!
