  1. Hanseatic Campaign

    Thanks Alex for your reply. I knew when I got this one from Emedals some years ago, the ribbon was not period. But somewhere in time I got second thoughts on the originality of the medal itself looking at other reference pictures, and since then could not get a straight forward opinion about it. To me it is maybe too shiny and perhaps light for a napoleonic piece of this type. I realized it was an impulsive buy and knew little about it. Got to regret it.
  2. Another thread ruined by photobucket. A pity.

  3. WWI EK2 with bronze mark.

    To me a horrible fake full of flaws

  4. Hanseatic Campaign

    Anyone?
  5. Nice one

  7. Congratz on that stunning piece Chris. I followed that ring too at auction yesterday but totally out of curiosity, and its a true gem. Great catch. Not quite. You know JRR Tolkien was a british vet who fought trench warfare at the Somme and his literature was deeply influenced by this bloody battle
  8. +1
  9. Great. Just curious and trying to figure out what was all about, since this thread had been dormant for such a long time. Thanks for sharing.
  10. Sorry to resurrect this old effort. But what was the aim of it? An Ek census notwithstanding the duplicity if members sell each other crosses? Was there an outcome of such undertaken? Greetings,

  11. EKI Spange collection

    Congrats. Really nice job with those bronze tags.
  12. A lucky one for me. Was it usual to have a HHOX ribbon with no sword device?
  13. Such a pity. This seemed a very good initiative. Let's wish 2015 will bring things forward.
  14. Silly of me. Died in 1938.
  15. Just found a picture of Johannes here at GMIC and.... The winner is.... EUGEN! Thanks to the forum members. If any further pictures of WWII or award rolls are available, please pm me!
  16. Strangely there is an Otto Hahn regarded as an HHOX awardee listed here as well http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Hahn
