    1. Example of the First Class award in gilt. Unfortunately, no ribbon.
    2. Medalla "Combatiente Internacionalista" (I) International Combattant, First Class. Possibly awarded for Service in the FAR, but abroad (Africa, etc.) Ribbon Example below:
    3. Two things I really like about this pair of bars: A) Very hard to find a mounted, miniature VDF Bar from Oldenburg B) The Turkish Awards with correct saber bars.... ditto!
    4. Ed the prototype is pretty special.... William! Nice booklet your friend has shared!
    5. It will be interesting if at some point we can get a timeline... when a single pin? When did they switch to a double prong? Why the carryover of the pin system from pre-revolution days? Why did they never "go Sov" with screw-back awards? So many unanswered questions...
    6. Chris, still well worth chasing. I've seen less than a dozen actual documents for this cross.... ever.
    7. The Prussian Golden Ehrenkreuz Book lists all recipients, some additional data is available, but not always a full citation. Bucks. Big Euros, unless no one else notices.... (It does happen!)
    8. Also note the extremely unusual shadow mark behind some of the letters. In all my time studying these badges, I have seen exactly two (2) mis-struck Juncker maker marks. They didn't look like this odd shadow at all.
    9. Distinci?n "Fernando Chenard Pi?a". For 25 years in commerce (?). Ribbon example below:
    10. Distinci?n "19 de Abr?l". No information currently available. Ribbon example below:
    11. Distinci?n "Destacado en la Preparaci?n para la Defensa" This would seem self-explanatory, but there's no information found yet regarding the exact nature of the award. Civilian? Military? Both? Ribbon example below:
