    1. The second medal is a 1st place shooting preis from Hesse marked 11 November 1891. I doubt it belongs on the bar but who knows? I'd think an LS medal would be more likely.
    2. Thanks Andreas. Can I assume he would have also received the BMVK3mS as well?
    3. Does anyone have the book on the holders of the Bavarian Tapferkeits medal? I'm looking for a recipient by the last name of Frankl.
    4. What a shame. Why was the other guy so adamant about keeping it from you?
    5. Got his EK1 the day before the Armistice. I wonder if he became a postman because he wanted the quiet life. What did you miss out on?
    6. Here is a solid silver wound badge. Some people had to have something better. JMHO.
    7. Here is my Schickle/Deumer one piece from the inter war years.

      These things are really awkward as hell. I can't imagine they were too popular with the troops.
    9. I have seen one piece nickel silver crosses so why not 800 silver as well. I'm sure if you had the money you could buy what you wanted as long as you were authorized. At least he didn't have to worry about it rusting.

      I am thinking of applying a coat of varnish to them to preserve them.
    11. An early style grenade.

    13. Alex is referring to the breast star, not the GC itself.
    14. Thanks for the comments guys. Dave, thanks for the info. I figured it was a medical officer of some sort when I first saw it.
