This one did not.... either time it was issued.

Hi Steve, I don't think it came from the chef (if I'm thinking of the same guy)... I bought it from a guy further west... It lives a little south of you now.

EK 1939 Russian "Fur Raub und Mord" Iron Cross Found
Stogieman replied to greg koepp's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Gentlemen, the purpose of the discussion is knowledge and the attainment thereof. We really don't need to chuckle over language barriers, do we? Thanks. Spasibo. Merci. Vielen Dank. -
EK 1914 The Burgandy cases....
Stogieman replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
I have always felt that this style of case (with the nail-type catch) were leftovers from 1870. -
Hi Eric, very nice collection. Hope the healing continues from your wounds.

Fantastic group Ed, nice to see the real documents as opposed to so many of the copies floating about the internet!

If anyone is interested... there's an acceptable example of the MVK, pre-1905 on eBay in the USA right now. $155. & counting. Chipped as usual, but not excessively. A very nice, very hard to find piece. I don't know the seller at all, but I do know the medal. Item #270221247542 Photos attached

Yep, going outside to bang my head on the cement and get that image out of my brain....

Ewwwwww, that's nasty!

And sadly, so many who didn't make it...

So many famous faces...

So few St. Henry's, so much time...

Hmmmmm, I like that this one still confuses you. Why I remember where this all began!

Well I can see mini before clicking on the link or reading your entire post. I've seen this happen many times.... it's in there, but someone leaps... Of course with the price of minis these days....

Thanks Rod, I was hoping to coax that one out of the woodwork.... The only Rothe 1870 medal I've seen. I suspect at least one other here in the hands of a member but I will not blow his cover ;>)

Yes, the photo shows quite clearly this bar in a period photo!

The reverse:

The ribbon bar itself or the fact some idiot would be bidding it up to $70 USD and counting!
-
And very nice to see an authentic Glider badge. The way you photograph helps to explain (sadly) to many people why the one(s) they have bought are copies. Nice to see the real deal!
-
Nice one. Love to know what else was in that trunk. I only had one of these once upon a time. Not nicely age-worn like your friend's though

Or, how proud this enlisted man was of his Silver Medal to the Order
-
Imagine how proud this soldier was.... a solo St. Henry Order, Knight's Cross. Field-Gray backing plate.

And another, this one made by Scharffenberg

Hi Jeff, the Hessian bar looks familiar but I have no image in my archive, so Claudio must have won that battle. Here's an up-close and personal view of why I liked this order so very, very much. This one by Roessner
