    Hello everybody,

    Today is a great day for my collection. It's the first time I have documents about Saxe Coburg Gotha. Some rare documents. indeed, Major d. R. a.D Albert Rose from Train Abt. 3. Before the war he received Jubilee medal and Landwehr service medal 2nd class. But pictures are better than thousand words. Enjoy with this group :jumping:

    First document his iron cross 2nc class :

    Carl Eduard Medal 2nd class with X.

    Only 4 Bavarians officers received this medal.

    AND-- in addition to the freaky 1924 "CM2X" from Coburg... one of the VERY last "1914" Iron Crosses ever awarded-- signed by my German hero, Friedrich Freiherr Kress von Kressenstein-- the man who stopped Hitler's 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.

    :cheers:

    Thanks Rick for your comments. Albert Rose is not a "Hero" with a lot of medals, but for me this group is very important. May be one day when the chance will be there, I can reunite the ribbon bar and medal bar !!!

    This group proves that Insanely Rare does NOT have to mean "celebrity status." :cheers:
