Good day gentlemen.

I am interested in German pre-WWI, WWI, post WWI and WWII spanges and medals.

One of my favorit post-WWI medals are the so-called Campaign crosses: Verdun, Champagne, Somme and Argonnen.

Some fellow collectors find these not so interesting while they are unifficial medals that could be bought and were not "earned" on the battlefield, etcetera.

But I just like the design, very much in the Jugendstil, very attractive according to me.

I have a few crosses of each in my collection, also in in two different designs.

The last few weeks I have seen on Ebay Germany a few of these medals being offered. (today 3 of these are offered). Normally I would place bids on these, but the medals in question don't look allright to me. The lettertype is not so fine, rather thick, the behind of the medals look smooth, the lining of the medals isn't so fine and a few other things. Maybe they are ok, I am not an expert, that is why I ask your opinion here and maybe warn someone. The price of these medals have evolved into a range of 150 euro - 225 euro each, so maybe it is worth copying these. I don't know.

Here are the pictures of the three crosses currently offered on ebay de.

I quickly made a picture of 4 examples from y own collection which are undoubtedly originals by the way.

These you can see in the following post.

Hello Christophe,

Good idea for a topic. I shall post my new 2010 stuff also in a few days.

Nice collection of boxes, but for me the medal bar is the most interesting, very nice!!! I hope you will find the missing Reuß medal soon.

I am new to this forum and I am happy to say that I am amazed at the collection some members have and also I am very impressed by the knowledge of some of you!!! I am eager to learn!!

The focus in my collection lies in German WWI spanges and medals but also Regimentsgeschichtes. Also I have some german WWII medals and also lots of divisionsgeschichtes and so on.

In the two pictures below you see a part of my collection. These are pictures from a few months ago. I will place an update shortly.

Glad to see there are other spange-fanatics!!!!!
