Hello Franck,

Thank you for your kind notices hier and in the PM. Very interesting thoughts.

As far as i know, the reindeer (kind dama dama) is an animal which leaved in grate numbers on that island. That`s the reason, the island was called in the ancient times "elafussa = place with deers" and till now it`s a symbol there.
Many of the deers died unfortunately threw the devastating fire two years ago.
The cross is the well known cross of the Johannes Malta knights.

But unfortunately i still don`t know the link between KGr. z.b.V. 9 and that emblem.
Attached a pic with the deer of Rhodes from my last year vacation.
Near Rhodes ist the beautiful island of Symi. In that house of the second picture signed the german commander of Dodecanes general Wagener the capitulation to the british.
