4th medal from the left.

The details look weak and the finishes are too shiney to me.

That's a good one. F&R or BH Mayer.

Quite the stud for sure. 44 months war service, numerous bravery awards.

I'm really hoping the seller finds more of the documents.
-
I don't like either of them.

Not for a lack of trying on the part of the Germans.

And the Hindy. Also have an envelope with the grouping.

EK2 marked M and Hamburg Hansa Cross. The jewel of the grouping, the SEHO2dmS. I hope I got that right.

EK1, slightly vaulted (by hand I believe) with a nice dark patina. Marked 800 below the catch.

Hindy document. I've asked the seller to notify me if he comes across any other paperwork wrt this grouping.

EK1 documentation.

I got this sweet little grouping off ebay recently.
