Awardee was Ludwig Renner. My list notes he died in 1940. I have nothing further but cannot find him on the GPB list I have. He is not a bearer of the Coburg Badge.

In memory of my Uncle,
Schtz.Grenadier KARL HOFBAUER,
2 Kompanie, Inf-Bat, 550.
Killed in action, Krasnoje, Minsk, 7. Nov. 1942.
Congrats, Bob...wish this piece was in MY collection! My GPB list does not include Ludwig Renner, and that might be because his participation in the Putsch was as a veteran through Freikorps Oberland (Patzwall's BO list note shows Renner as "Bund Oberland, Bataillon Teja, 4. Kompanie). In those tough financial times, he may not have been able to afford belonging to Oberland and to the NSDAP, as well.
Adolf Fohr, whose BO I have, #161, was in the 2nd Kompanie of Bataillon Teja.
There were 2 other Fohrs in Bund Oberland, Emil, #162, 2nd Kompanie of Bataillon Teja, and Otto, #277, Bataillon 8, Minenwerferkompanie. Does anyone know if either of these BO's have surfaced?
Truly, it looks like it was just removed from his brownshirt. Is it unusual not to have the safety pin attached? Jon, are BOs found with pins attached more often than not? Where the first issue version BOs even supplied with a pin like the second version BOs were?
