Thank you very much for the information. I am curious to what branch of service belonged Hauptmann Rudolf Mobius. I checked his name on the internet but I counldn't find out any info about him. Where should I search?

Hello Sever,
Rudolf Möbius is pictured as an Hauptmann (the rank he had held since 1 May 1911) in Infanterieregiment Ritter von Milde Nr. 17. He was promoted to Major on 1 May 1917. The awards you describe do not really match those of Major Möbius. He held the Military Merit Cross 3rd Class with Swords plus both a silver and bronze Military Merit Medal (Signum Laudis) with Swords and a further bronze Military Merit Medal (peacetime) and Karl Troop Cross.
Regards

Thank you very much Mr. Glenn. That's great info about cpt. Mobius. I am a little bit dissapointed as i have bought the medals that don't match together with the picture. The seller from Vienna naschmarkt " sold" me the story that they belong to the same group. Once more it is true that you buy the object not the story
All the best
Sever
