10 Years of Liberation Parade Badge. One of my favorite pieces. Very heavy & high quality.

Greetings Rene and thanks. I received a message from The Traveling Museum exactly the same. I stand corrected! Therein lies some of the issues with the earliest of these imperial awards!! Thanks!!

Unfortunately, not mine. Part of "The Traveling Museum" GMIC NEUS enclave meeting last Wednesday.

The Ritterkreuz is Napoleonic, The medal is 1870.

Here's some additional Saxon goodies:

Of course, a complimentary piece had visited in the past. Here's a refresher:

I was graciously allowed to fondle the most elusive example of my favorite Imperial piece in the world last night. However, It was suggested I be frisked when I left the room to visit the loo. "The Traveling Museum" was in town last night and we all had a marvelous visit. So, I think words cannot describe this little gem further.

The "Crush Your Neighbors Hopes & Aspirations To Dust Medal", cased

5 years Service to State Security, cased:

A little larger on that last set:

Boxed Kisipari Set, awarded for???

New Szot Badge in paperboard case with impressed logo on lid. The box is very similar to a late Bulgarian Hero Star box in that the base piece is larger than the lid of the case.

Thanks Charles, The Other Rick sends his best wishes. More new to follow soon!

Another, all of these images are from my Saxon collection archive photos. If memory serves, the late war crosses were one piece and not marked for silver content. Having said that; there's a couple little oddities on your cross that look like die flaws i have not seen before, or they may just be knocks from wear. Is it possible to get a high density, flat-on image of the front and reverse of the cross? It should slide right off the bar it's mounted on ribbon and all.

Some additional examples:

Sergio, are there any marks on the bottom arm of your cross?

And the reverse:

OK, it's been awhile since I have ventured in here. I have seen what looks to me a slightly better looking fake 1870 EK1. I will say that the sharpness/height of the date and the W actually appealed to me. However, on the reverse; I do not like the pin/hinge assembly, the "fangs" or the maker mark. Am I right, or am I wrong?

Labor Badge?
