My Findings at SOS 2023

[Jvpi]

Here are some items I purchased at SOS 2023, just got free time today to take a few photos.
Here is a very nice marine officer's medal bar grouping, which I couldn't resist to do nothing about it.





The grouping belonged to Kapitänleutnant Theodor Hengstenberg, a torpedo boat commander during the war, included most of the documents. Special thanks to @Glennj who provided me a great help in checking out the owner's service history and award record! In incredible speed.
Also got myself two books, Stephen signed the "Imperial Sky" volume 2 for me, which is the volume I thought never existed. I recommend this set of books to all flight badge collectors.

This photo shows the medal bar wearing on an uniform. Sadly I don't own a marine uniform, so here used a FAR14 Hauptmann's Feldbluse to do the impression instead...

Great Medal bar, looks very fine. Congratulations

I got these photos from @J.LeBrasseur 's table. A Feldartillerie officer in pre 1903 Paletot and a soldier of FR86.

A stunning bar! Especially interesting is the confirmation of the additional awards to those listed in the 1918 naval Rangliste. I can see the award documents for the Austro-Hungarian Military Merit Cross and the Ottoman Liakat (merit) medal. To whom was the award of the red cross medal to - another member of the Hengstenberg family?

Glenn,
I think might be Hengstenberg's wife? I will find time have a look and take photos of the documents.

Wow, a great grouping, congrats! Next, the search for a Marine uniform, but it looks great on the feldbluse also.
Cheers,
Dennis

Simply WOW!

As can be seen in Herr Hengstenberg's entry in the 1918 navy list, only the Hohenzollern House Order Knights' Cross with Swords, the Iron Cross 1st Class and life saving medal are listed. This was the final edition effective as at 14 February 1918 and as Kapitänleutnant Hengstenberg did not serve in the Reichsmarine, his additional awards would have been difficult to ascertain. Now they are revealed.

Regards
Glenn

I like the Maltezer cross on your uniform!, there is a similar one on my Prussian officers Cuirass, I think it means it is a nobility member of a " ritter-orden".

Very nice looking medal bar, and even better with the provenance!
