Hi, Both LW. I traded them off many moons ago, I may still have pics of one of the groups with his docs.... will look this weekend...

Indeed! Army buckle thread, Airforce buckle thread etc..e tc.. etc... !!

I dont think it is German at all

Here is a question.... i can see this being a WW1 officers bar if the medals were simply "hang in" medals, where they could have been returned to his old bar at some stage for whatever reason. But these are sewn in medals... and they are not cheap medals even at the time... Usually an officer took an old bar and his medal to a tailor and said "do your thing" and the tailor made a new bar using the old awards. Schubert served until the end of WW1, so veeeery likely he had time to get his WW1 medals mounted.... can we seriously believed he ordered a new set of medals each time he needed another medal mounted? Officers were not exactly rolling in cash... they would have needed to be a real medal fetichist to do that. I think it may be easier to explain why Kamecke is missing a DA, as opposed to why Schubert would order a really expensive bunchof medals when he had them on an old prewar bar. Realistically, with a bar of peacetime thingies... he probably hit the tailors at light speed when he got his nice sparkling EK2? Best Chris

100 yeyar aniversary coming up then.....

I dont think its german, i think it may be post war for a bar? Does it say "beerhaus" ??

Hi, a silly question... i had 2 bronze ones to German sldiers in WW2, both were named? best Chris

Does anyone know if this will be availible at the show in German on Friday? Ebernhahn I think? Will anyone be there?

I am a bit behind the curve... but does anyone know who the maker is?

I should have kept a screen shot of that ;-)

Sorry Eric, I realised I did not mail all the items I had in the auction, the Gebirgsjäger paper I forgot!!

Wasnt Steven Segal "just a cook" in the movie on the boat? :-)

Wow... thats a buncha buckles....

Maybe served in the SAAF before the war, or moved to SA after the war and served?

Hi, all South African ones should be named. Colored would if I remember correctly have a "C" in front of their numbers? I think Black soldiers had "N" for native. Best Chris

Hi, I am working on that at the moment. For the first part I was comparing 1870 and 1914 and came to conclusion, an 1870 EK was "easier" than a 1914 one. Best Chris

Hi, if SAAF the medals should be named?

Wow... that baggie is worth 5 wound badges!!!

From Ebay....

Hi, I have not seen an example yet, so I am curious to get a copy... i will sign it for myself ;-) My first effort was last year.... http://www.kaiserscross.com/60401/461722.html

That is soooo uncool... when I saw the boots i was going to write that as well...

And his later issued EK2 doc....

Here is a very very scarce Leib Regt doc for his EK1

Byoootiful condition as well!

Looks good... I would buy it.
