Hello! My first Belgian medal Could it be dated? The lion seems to have been repaired, since it's a bit uncentered. Regards, Stefan

Thanks Hardy, that must be the correct way to see it. And yes, the EK is very nice. I must try to trade it for something Regards, Stefan

Thanks shooting range officer The "EB" is just a guess from my side...that would fit the "Eisengiesserei Berlin". They can also be parts of full stamps, since it's hard to get good stamps on a bend surface. Now to the story behind it: A woman sold the EK to my friend. It had been in the family and she got it from her uncle that also served in WW1 and WW2. The name of the uncle was Friedrich Vilk Lieder and from Witomisch, Posen (according to the WW2 Soldbuch). He was born april 29th 1884. His father's name was Dienegott Landwirt and the mother's Mathilde Weber. It feels like it was Dienegott's grandfather that received the EK...or grand grandfather. Would it be possible to back track to the EK owner? Probably not. But perhaps there is a tiny chance if it was a family with officers in it. Anyone got the books for this research? Regards, Stefan

Oh, thanks Ian. Yes, perhaps they are not that much faked. It's just so shiny that it made me wonder. It was in an unsold lot at a coin auction. I bought it since it had some Swedish uniform parts in it too - so this was a bonus Regards, Stefan

Thanks Ian, then I have something to search after. Now I need to figure out if it's new or old Regards, Stefan

Back and eylet

Hello! This is unfortunately not mine EK, but I know the owner and I was allowed to show some pictures of it. The owner got this from the family and I believe it is ok. Anyone got a list regarding the 1813 EK recipients? The most interesting part of this EK is the stamp in the small eylet. I believe it could be "EB" and might stand for ?Kgl. Preuss. Eisengiesserei Berlin?? Regards, Stefan

Back

Hello! I guess this is an Austrian double eagle? Is this for some cap or hat? Height: 9,5 cm Width: 7,5 cm Regards, Stefan

Another angle

Back. /S

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
