Ok, I looked at this real quick this morning. I think the medal is real (as well as quite rare)... but, I guess I have to echo Vince... I think it should be an EK2. The Bavarian LSM is certainly a WW1 era type? I would be really surprised to find that medal awarded to a Bavarian... when would it have been given? For which conflict? Sorry, obscure enough of a piece that I have never even heard of it being awarded on a white-black ribbon!

Hi Petr, will get scans to you as soon as possible (about 2 weeks). In the interim, here's a picture of the cover page: -

Fantastic stuff, thanks! Unfortunately (groan...) now I know some specifics about what is missing!! -

Agreed, no awards here from 1944-1976, a very large gap. No Congratulatory documents on the Dimitrov order which for sure he received.... Probably missing additional Mongolian and Cuban awards as well. I never stop looking !!! -
Bulgaria Bulgarian Order of 9 September 1944

Well, this should turn a few heads..... we now have three (3) very distinct types of award documents! Oversized Gramota paper document (A4 sized) Paper folded booklet Hard cover orders book -
There's a number of these kicking about. They have a distinct pin/hinge assembly that's (thus far) unique to this manufacturer. Both Prussian Pilots and Observers have been found. many bear the 800 silver mark. Some bear that mark plus additional ones elsewhere on the piece, including on little silver plates affixed into the hinge well. Nice original badge.

Another first in this group. 25 Years of DOT. Now, I don't know what DOT is, nor the actual award date.... there's no date on this document. Can you help us? -

1986, a visit to the tropics and a Cuban 30 Years of The FAR Medal is awarded. Note the plastic cover. First time we have seen this cover on a Cuban Document. Normal? Just for special VIPS? No way to know for now.... -
