The back of this one. Don

And something else the former Gefr. turned Unteroffizier earned.

The reverse.

Mail call. First up, a Porsche with cut out grass. This belonged to a Gefr. Ahrens of Pzr Abt. 654. Don

Thanks for the quick replies. I couldn't place the ribbon. Stogie, no marks on the first class. Don

Thanks Stogie. I'll definately do my homework prior to buying. Don

The First Class version while I'm at it.

The reverse. I think next to the EKs these are the nicest imperial EK equivelents. Don

The combatant one.

Is this Mecklenburg Schwerin 1914 Grand Duke Franz Friedrich Military Merit Cross the non-combatant version? I know the only difference is the ribbon color. What would I expect to pay for one of these/ I have his combatant brother. Thanks Don

I see these "Gode" awards listed on ebay.de all the time. From a distance and with a crappy picture they look ok. What is the biggest giveaway that they aren't the real deal? I was at a show a couple of moths ago and almost bought a medal bar that had an ek2, BMVK2/S, BMVK3/S, and some lesser imperial awards. The BMVK2 was flat on the back with no details. The dealer said it was a wearers copy made for medal bars. Since all the others had details on the reverse side I passed. Was that a Gode? thanks Don

Nice badges. I guess its another one added to the "must acquire" list. I here these are heavily faked. Any pointers for getting a real one, preferably wartime issue would be apprieciated. Thanks Don

The back with pin system and mark. Don

Nice variety. I feel sorry for the Turkish soldiers. It is a shame when you risk your life and get a crappy thank you. Here is my BB&Co. Don

The reverse. That's all for now. Don

A.S. in bronze.

The reverse.

Couple of more pulled in today. Silver hollow seven wheeler.

Hi Rick, nice to see you here. Nice post. Those awards run the spread of qualitity control. It is a shame how quality and I think respect for awards suffered as the war dragged on. You see it in the TR stuff too. And we won't even bring up '57 stuff, eeeewwwww. Don

Lets see them Scott. Plenty of room here for all of us. Don

I fold. Nothing in my hand beats that. Don

All I can say is WOW!!! The only thing missing is the body. Michel, you don't have the Herr LT stuffed in the basement do you. Don

I might have something in the offing Stogie. Give me a week or so. You know how the mail is. Don

I try. I am moving over to a scanner for more consistant pics. I don't know whether I will redo my collection or just phase in the new stuff. Don

the reverse. thanks for looking Don
