Thanks for the info on the elder Oster. Anything on his son Achim?

on the awards of Gen Achim Oster and his father General Hans Oster. Anyone have a detailed list of awards for them? thanks in advance.

Beautiful.

Thanks Rick.

Any chance of identifting this guy. An observer who won the Prussian GMVK, had a Saxon connection, and survived the war?

Is the HC marked on the reverse?

Now that's a coincidence....

Are there any on-line histories?

Thanks guys. I wondered about the EK2 being in first place and the lack of a Centennial medal myself. Then I figured, given it is a Jubilee period bar, why not the EK2 in first place. As for the Centennial, perhaps he didn't feel the need given the awards shown or this bar was put together for the Jubilee and prior to institution of the Centennial. I'll post better pics when it arrives. Now, given the combination of awards, the possible units based upon the battle clasps, and the date of the bar can we put a name to it? Perhaps cross referencing against the Prussian EK rolls?

And a close up of the bravery medal.

The reverse.

Thoughts on this bar please.

I saw that bar but decided to finish my run through the show before buying anything. Then I ran into Stephen Previtera and Paul who told me Rick was there and I had to meet him. Next thing I know Rick whips that baby out and I said dang, I was just looking at that a couple of minutes ago. I probably walked right past Rick on his way to check it out.

Careful Rick. You'll have to break out the ol' change purse.

Nice bar and even better with its little companion.

And where did you see that Rick, not Chantilly?

I need some weights/measurements for the Meybauer type tank badge please.

Rick is exactly the same in person as he is on line.

And the reverse.

Today I got to meet Rick, the Good Twin at the Chantilly Show. I also met Paul which was good too. Then when I got home this was waiting for me. Today was a good day.

Thanks. It looks embroidered.

Can you post a larger scan of the badge in the picture please?

Does a copy of the Paul Meybauer catalog exist?

Or Aermelzbzeichen der MG-Scharfschuetzen-Formationen if you like.

Having looked at the original pics and comparing them with originals I'd say this one is most likely a good one from the first pattern die.
