Can you post a better picture of the serial number?

I have seen corrected numbers before, in most cases to fit an award to the documents the whole serial number is rubbed out and a new one is engraved. Or the number in the book is bleached out to fit with the serial number on the award.

To my obersevation it is very difficult to get an award with only one different figure in the serial number.

Try this Andreas (attached). These are closeups from previous photos--I can take better ones if it helps too. :thumbsup In my observation, it's clean without any signs of reengraving. It didn't come with a document when I bought it; I got it from a top dealer too. (Dmitry ******) Could be done though.

What Army (&c) was he with? I found a (former) Altenberg/burg in Latvia, but I think that's too late for the date.

Thanks for the help Eric..let me doublecheck the citation / personal file doc and get back to you. :thumbsup
