Don't worry, I won't. I put it here to warn others.

Or is it real.....

Close but I think no cigar on this one. Anyone else care to comment? thanks

This is the same seller as: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13233

Look at the mark for Bruckmann and son on this page: http://www.925-1000.com/Fgerman_marks_a1884.html

Here is one I used to own.

I think the pics can be used under the "fair use" clause of the copyright law. They are already posted in the public domain and you are discussing the merits of the item (i.e. education) and not making money from it. Worst case is that the owner would ask the site to remove them. If you look at it from the other perspective, had it been deemed good then more people that view this site would have been/be more likely to bid on it, driving the price up. Just looking at this from all angles.

I can't understand why people post links to auctions when only the pics need discussed. (sorry Micha) This tends to highlight the auction to more people and drives up the final price. Sorry but this is a pet peeve of mine. The only links I post are to sellers of fakes so everyone knows who he is. Now I will get off my soap box.

And the reverse.

What were the highest awards for bravery that an enlisted man could earn? I know most states have thier own like the Prussian GMMC. What were they and lets see some pics. Thanks

Very nice Ralph.

And my wife thinks I'm crazy!!!! Nice piece.

What's the date on that last document Chris, 15 August 1916? I can scan the pages from the history if you want them. PM me your email.

Actually that is about standard Rick. The only medal I don't think we give foreigners is the CoMH.

I did say little didn't I? I wonder if they were envious of thier bretheren's larger and more powerful looking crosses?

Doc, just trying to shield the eyes of poor Rick (the good one). Stoggie, do you mean this little thing?

I thought I would show this one off. Lots of goodies on this one and only one offensive thingy.

Excellent find Stijn. Congratulations.

Nice bar Chris. And in much better condition than mine too.

..

Which also came with this thingy.

Here is his older brother.

I have a set of those too. If he had the oaks wouldn't he have had other awards?

Better?

I agree and I also think the Z-Lions are the best looking Imperial award.
