    1. The second one is unknown for you, this was published in 2006 in Romania, with the contribution of the Ministry of Culture and Cults, The Romanian National Museum and....The Grand Orient of Romania. The name of the book is "Freemasonry Medals and Badges - History and Symbolism". Unfortunately the book is only in Romanian language, but is extremely well illustrated as you can see. The text is fabulous, presenting a history of the Freemasonry in the world and as well in Romania. I know that the links of the Romanian Freemasons and the Grand Lodge of England are not that tide, the Romanian Masonry is more connected with the French Masonry, despite of this the book is worthy. It has 210 pages (77 are illustrated), hardcover, A4 format.

    2. Greetings! Hope there is no other topic on this subject, if there is, I ask the moderator to delete this one or to move the post. I would like to start a new topic for the collectors of masonic badges and medals. For start I'd like to recommend one of my favorites, the book of Trevor I. Harris - "The medals and jewels of British Freemasonry", probably well known for the British collectors. Those who don't know about this book, they should know that the book is hardcovered, has 140 pages and is fully illustrated. Well structured, great photos.

    3. Paul Völkers was the commander of the XXVII AK. He won the German Cross in Gold on 1st April 1942 and the Knights Cross on the 11th December 1942. He died while in Sovier captivity on 23rd January 1946. (info got from hucks216 - thank you!)

    4. Willi Albin Moser (2 November 1887 – 18 October 1946) was a highly decorated General der Artillerie in the Wehrmacht during World War II who commanded the LXXI. Armeekorps. He was also a recipient of the Knight Cross of the Iron Cross. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. Willi Moser was captured by Soviet troops in 1945 and died in Soviet captivity on 18 October 1946. (from Wilipedia)

      The signature is from an award document for an Iron Cross, second class.
