    5. i think this is a life saving medal but there no long service medal which is strange!maybe a person who went back into service for the war?

    9. and the back! i can provide "under the hood" pics to if you want! any help is great!!
    10. ok not HUUUUGEEEE but i finally got my first complete big medal bar! now on WAF it was 50/50 whether it was real or not! the way i think it could be is that he entered the navy say around 1900(no 1897 medal) had a fairly non-eventfuly war and then did a bit of service in the freekorps and then a quiet war in ww2! looking at the wear it does seem that have been together a while! maybe the gold wreath doesnt belong bit i reckon it could be real!what do you guys think? any help would be great!!! heres the link to! <a href="http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ad.php?t=241400" target="_blank">http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ad.php?t=241400</a>
    11. i also heard that vets used to take the gold from the centre and use them for there fillings or replacemnet teeth! just what i heard!!!
    12. well the dollar rate aloud me to get my first large intact impy medal bar(which il be posting when she arrives!) so personaly i think its great!!!!but i reckon it will go down but for the momnet im getting most stuff from the states!
    13. i think the price is so for 3 reasons!(though they are just my opinion) 1) its by godet 2) its got all the lovely enamel so must rare and expensive 3) its cased in ireland iv seen simple ww1 ek 2s go for E120 here and recently i was talking to a collecter who had bought an ek2nd and payed E80 for and thought it was a fantastic price!!! so when i told him the average price he should pay he wa sa bit shocked(as was i at the price he payed) i honestly i think its the dealer putting the 3 reesons above on the items and then pricing it accordanly, the fact that thousand upon thousand of them were made and that there by no means rare doesnt come into it!
    14. great to see the bar back up and restored but as a side not what is the story with that pink enameled MVO?????never seenm anything like it!!!!!!!!!
    15. intresting award but whats all the stuff on the back?

    17. fantastic!!! i do have to say the ardo on this model is way better then the other one!(i know i know its petty but such is lifE!! )
    18. i have to say the dollar has been very very good to my collection!i can see the dollar falling still shorter in the future!
