So this is what the Imperial Forum has come to...  a gaggle of crusty old men complaining about a modern social media platform.  Exactly how does this topic relate to Imperial German awards?  About a month ago, @VtwinVince grumbled at somebody from Norway who posted a Luftwaffe photo because "... this is an Imperial forum." 

 

 

 

I posted here because they were using my account to sell stuff including images of medal bars 

in my name ! Not a complaint I did not want anyone to get ripped off ! 
that’s why ! And I’m not crusty maybe old . 

 

 

 

Moderator please remove post if not allowed ! I only want to protect people from the fake accounts they were trying to sell stuff with images of imperial stuff and other items  ! 
account is back in my control and Other one with fake images and sales posts are removed .

Just say 'no' to social media.

Yes it’s a pain FB got it fixed ! 

Yeah I can not get my account back and fb is not removing it ! 

Do not buy anything from my old fb on any make offer or medal bar page account it’s is stolen trying to get it shut down ? They changed all info so I cannot recover ! 
Bad accounts are 

im wondering if its a relatives group ? his wife had french canadian cousins . so im thinking some sort of family member?

The article stating he was in england 1943 does not go with this group

wrong fathers name !

still he had to be in french service prior ?

or lower group is a relative ?

I assume this man served with Foreign legion prior to US service ? 
he arrive in England in mid 1943 a year prior to 70th us division arriving there ?

the French and Belgium awards are all early 1940s made but the long pins removed . 
all medals in frame show even age and fading to ribbons . 
 

It’s seems like ribbon it’s very silk like

It’s very green .

Seems like good old bar last ribbon a mystery to me ?

Possibly navy guy? 

A medal bar with the Silver merit medal of the ruling family of Italy. I assume  diplomatic role ?  
thanks to a forum member  for selling me this bar !

you have probably seen this on ebay, before the pics are lost will safe it here

 

 

Sadly I believe that’s a bad bar made by an Austrian faker .

I think the last medal was a fire 25 year cross and was switched someone added farming medal ?

Here’s the one I picked up in a group of loose medals . Know nothing about it . I’m guessing 1920s?

I have one that’s silver . I have to dig it out .

Here is the medal . It’s gilt bronze 1930 post Anschluss medal  made for order bar . Very nicely made no maker marks . 
wearers copy German made I assume ?

I was thinking mine rescue medal for last one ?

Nothing fancy but I love the early Baden civil merit medal . 
I assume Prussian in a Baden regiment?
