Hello! I got this skull with a small lot that wasn't sold at a coin auction. From what I've read in other threads this might be an early SS skull, since it got no markings? Regards, Stefan

Have you seen these ones: http://search.ebay.de/_W0QQsassZwald-haus1 There are some negative comments though regarding the seller at a German forum that I must read more about: http://www.sammlergemeinschaft-deutscherau...?threadid=15614 //Stefan

Thanks. Yes, I am very pleased with this group. I know where to get one of his Swedish uniforms, so I hope the group will expand more :-) Cheers, Stefan

Here's the DAO with the box. //Stefan

Hello again, so this is what I have so far. The last thing I got is his order of the German eagle. If the buyer of the breast star is watching this thread - I can buy it from you now //Stefan

Thanks Alex, I didn't know about the UK medal. I used www.medalj.nu to find the diferent medal bands. The age could be 1920-1950. Was the order of the red eagle handed out at military visits or did you have to earn it? I attach a picture of the other medal bars I bought...almost only Swedish medals. The last one is why I bought them - it got the Swedish Sword's order, Finnish libery cross 3/4 class, Finnish 1918 com. medal and the Finnish com. medal of the Tampere battle 1918. Probably for a Swedish officer in lower rank. Regards, Stefan

Hello, I bought this Swedish medal bar and I can't find the correct medal for the last two bands. left->right * Sword's order (Swden) * Wasa order (Sweden) * Order of the Dannebrog (Denmark), * The Royal Victorian Order (Australia) ?? * ?? Regards, Stefan

Hi Mike, the "Kraschan" (what's the english word?) was too much and the mini-chain above had a Russian order in it so it also became too expensive. I will post more pictures when I've picked them up Cheers, Stefan

Yes, and the ones I'm posting now... /S Cross of freedom 1st class with "kraschan", without swords. This one went for 6000 EUR, a bit out of my range :-/

Yes, this one below is of the first row. /Stefan

Yes, they belongs to a Swede. Cheers, Stefan

Thanks for your help Regards, Stefan

Hi, I have this medal bar with some service medal in the centre. What would be the correct name for that one? The other ones I know //Stefan

Hi, do you have a close-up on the Narvik shield doc? It would be fun to see the boat Regards, Stefan

Hi Mike! Now I have found some information (http://www.samlarforum.nu/viewtopic.php?t=7432 in Swedish). In short it is like this: 1918, 1939 ------------- 1st, 2nd class: Yellow band. 3rd, 4th class: Red band. 1941 ------ Red band for combat. Yellow band for other military services or civil services. If the medal is a combat award it got swords and a bow. Non-combat awards don't have swords and no bow. This is the more complicated part that I hope I have transleted correct: 16.12.1940 -- 18.8.1944: 1939 received crosses shall have the 1941 bands. But 1939 crosses received before 16.12.1940 doesn't have to be changed. After 18.8.1944: All 1939 crosses shall have the 1941 bands and shall be changed. On this medal bar: * The colour is correct, since it's a 2nd class and it's from 1918. * The bow is missing, but I think that is due to unawareness or it should look like the other medal bands. Cheers, Stefan

They are very nice to collect since there are very few copies and rather cheap Cheers, Stefan

2nd class, since it has white background. The 3rd and 4th got black background, 3rd with golden cross and 4th with silver cross. I believe there are a couple of liberty crosses in the Finnish threads. 1st class you had around the neck. Cheers, Stefan

Yepp, but that is wrong. Cheers, Stefan

Nice Jan Arne! Any chance of seeing the Narvik shield group a bit closer? Cheers, Stefan

Hello! This almost looks like Jantzen's bar. Does anyone have more information about it? If I had the money I would have bought it - it looks so nice with the Finnish cross (2nd class). Cheers, Stefan

Hello, I believe that "my" Konteradmiral Hans-Joachim Gadow also got this Bulgarian award. Anyone heard of that one? Cheers, Stefan
