Wild Card Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hi Bob,J?rg Nimmergut?s ?OEK? (Orden & Ehrenzeichen Katalog) covers this information quite well, while his four volume ?magnum opus? goes into it in much more specific detail.Best wishes,Wild Card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Von Hessenthal and Schreiber give that information, as does Klietmann's little red "Pour le Merite und Tapferkeitsmedaille" from the 1960s. vH&S is probably your best bet for Imperial stuff-- certainly for "cost effectiveness."But it's always free to just ask.

But yes, I don't think Jorg has ever seen a fake unless it's lead and bendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
