Hallo Rick, Black enamel is clearly visible in the picture used, but in the description in the book for item number: 3387. it states what I wrote above, strangely there is no mention of black enamel (was J?rg having a bad hair day??)

Kevin.

PS maybe Stefan piece has had all the enamel removed??

Well, let's see when I get it home. I won it today

Cheers,

Stefan

Thanks Kevin!

I only have that book from 2003/2004 and without its picture.

If you have time...can you send me a scan of it, so I can see how similar it is?

Cheers, Stefan

Hallo Stefan , Page 453 of Orders And Ehrenzeichen by J?rg Nimmergut. Catalog of 2004 / 2005 shows a similar piece (3387).

DESCRIPTION ON PAGE 457 Freikorps:

DEUTSCHRITTER-KREUZ, 1919. I Class, Steckkreuz Br. vs/vg 180,-

Br = Bronze, vs/vg = silver or gold gilt. 180,- = Price 180 Euro.

Kevin in Deva,

I almost forgot...

Stamped on back is GODET BERLIN and number 938.

938 must be the silver?

Here are some better pictures.

I think I've seen it on some German uniform - could it be a Freikorps medal as Rick says?

Cheers, Stefan

Thanks guys! I hope to get better pictures soon...

Hello!

Can anyone help me out with this one?

I've asked for better pictures...

Cheers, Stefan

Sorry to intercept the thread, but just for your information:

The bar below just sold for approx. $200.

I have no idea if this is the going rate or dirt cheap?

/Mike

I bought mine above for 125 EUR, so I guess 200 USD is a good price...not knowing the price of the Turkish medal itself.

BR, Stefan

Thanks Rick

Close-up of the signature...

Hello,

I have an Urkunde signed by the Korvettenkapit?n and kommander ("Chef") of the 6. Torpedobootsflotille.

Dated 5th of April 1939.

I found these "Flottillenchefs" names:

April 1939 Kvtkpt. Waue

M?rz 1940 Kvtkpt. Marks

Mai 1940 Kptlt. Hartenstein

...but I can't match Waue to the signature.

Anyone got a decent reference book for this?

Regards, Stefan

Very nice group Gordon! :-)

Sk?l,

Stefan

Thank you for posting this interesting grouping. You stated that he was in the hopsital? Do you know what injuries? I would also imagine that there is a WB citation out there somewhere

I have this list of wounds:

1-Typhus

2-Dysentery

3-Tonsillitis

4-Cholera

5-Smallpox

6-Measels, Scarlet fever, Diphtheria

7-Influenza

8-Fleckfieber

9-Malaria

10-TB in the lungs

11-TB in other organs

12-Other contagious diseases

13-VD

14-Syphilis

15-Other sexual Diseases

16-Glandular diseases

17-Blood disorders

18-Pneumonia

19-Other breathing organ complaints Excluding TB

20-Teeth and Gums

21-Stomach and intestinal sickness

22-Other digestive complaints

23-Kidney problems

24-Non sexually transmitted Genital Problems

25-Skin and connective tissue problems

26-Nerve and mental problems

27-Eye problems

28-Ear problems

29-Bone and joint disorders

30-Muscle and joint disorders

31-Wounds and sickness due to enemy action

31a-Bulletwounds

34-Accident or self mutilation

34h-Planecrash

34i-Suicide (including attempt or self inflicted wound)

36-Suspected of Faking illnesses.

If you look at the scanned soldbuch pictures he have had these wounds:

Three times 9 = Malaria

One time 19 = "Other breathing organ complaints Excluding TB"

Two times 34 = "Accident or self mutilation"

One time 13 = VD

For his last wound there is no number.

Did one get the wound bag automatically or did one have to apply for it?

Cheers,

Stefan

Hello,

I thought I could share my group with you before it's gone

http://www.anbratt.se/helmets/nagler/

The soldier N?gler did some serious fighting at Isjum in Ukraine, October 1943, and got both the EK2 and EK1. He survived the war and was out of his last hospital treatment 9th of May 1945.

Cheers,

Stefan

Thanks Rick
