      That catch should be pinned somewhere. It is a classic indicator of a post war Souval badge.

      Thanks guys. I searched the old threads here and it is called ok in one of them. I'll dig it up later and correct it. I guess the hunt is still on.

      the obverse.

      How does this one look?

      I sent an email to the seller and asked if he would sell me a xerox copy. Unfortunately I found this thing with less than a minute to go on the auction....

      So based upon the mark on the edge who is the maker of the MVM?

      I don't suppose anyone here got this? http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...p;rd=1&rd=1 Definately not 1910- more like 1930. Here are the pics before they disappear.

      Actually the chemical weapons of WW1 were not as deadly as one would think. Of all fatalities during the war less than 4% were from gas (US Army statistics from studies after the war). Far more people were incapacitated though so you would expect to see more awards for it. Of course how many gas victims were also wounded by bullets, shrapnel etc at the same time?

      Nice early award too.

      The strange look comes from the light of the scanner playing off the shiny areas and the patina.

      This award has a lot of wear to it front and back. You can see were it has rubbed against the BMVK3. Also, there is this mark on the bottom edge.

      Thanks for the comments. The only other award that has a marking is the EK2- marked KO. Here are some more scans. Front. The patina on this is dark in the lower areas.

      Thanks for the replies. The wear on the ribbons is consistant across the bar. Nothing glows under UV. My main concern is the Bavarian Tapferkeits medal. I'll take it off and scan it seperately tonight.

      the reverse. thanks again.
    16. dond
      I'd like to hear some opinions on this bar please. Nothing glows under black light. thanks

      the backside before anyone can ask.
    18. dond
      How about this one?
    19. dond
      Perhaps the distinction is made due to the proximity of danger. Of course you also have the "Who you know" factor.

      reverse
    21. dond
      ooppps, wrong one. Try this one for size.
    22. dond
      reverse
    23. dond
      Here's one from me.
    24. dond
      I first thought is "Floch" based upon the reverse set up.
    25. dond
      Is it me or is there a general lack of symetry about this award?
