    1. My only crown order 3rd class (which i no longer own) with swords that i had purchased at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. slightly abused, but still a nice find on holiday.
    2. Hi Stogieman, Is the medal in Bronze (240,750 official minted), or Bronzed-Iron (11,500 official minted)? Friedrich August Medal in Bronze 1905 (ehrenzeichen-orden.de) Regards chuck
    3. Hi Saschaw, Thank you for your opinion, the dealer was less than honest and sent a WWII Luftwaffe badge and then refused to send the correct item. live and learn a bad e-bay dealer. regards, chuck
    4. Quoting Mr Ludvigsen awards were returned as late as 1941 by the German recipients. Less so by foreign recipients particularly Russians. Regards Chuck
    5. Herman, According to Mr Ludvigsens outline Paragraph 6.a, pg 9 the order was to be returned upon death or promotion to the next higher order. v/r, Chuck
    6. His Baden Order of the Zahinger Lion 2nd class with Oak leaves and Sword award was announced as part of the Reserve Infantry Regiment 109 in the Badische Landes-Zeitung, Mittagsblatt on Wednesday April 11, 1914. page 4 Regards Chuck

    11. very nice, picture I've never seen the Hessen Clasp in wear, or at all. Neal O'Connor stated that only 29 were awarded within the Infantry Regiment Prince Carl. Regards, Chuck
    12. Hi Demir, Thank you for the explanation. seems strange that a German Manufacturer decide to market such a larger star, but it appears someone decide to buy one. Regards, Chuck
    13. what was the reason for the very larger Gallipoli Star? A second award or extra merit? v/r, Chuck
    14. Hi Deutcshritter, The third ribbon appears to be a Württemberg. The Military Merit Order has a Green enameled wreath, and the Gold Military Merit Medal had a silver wreath attached to the ribbon in order to distinguish the difference in awards as the ribbon was the same yellow with black stripes. v/r Chuck
    15. Hi 1812, Looks like an agricultural association medal that has been attached to a ribbon. There is also one on e-bay for sale that states it is silver, 35mm wide at 17 gram. Bavaria, Kingdom. A Bavarian Agricultural Association Merit Medal - Medals - Bavaria - German States - Germany - Europe (emedals.com) v/r Chuck
    16. Hi Azteoman, Sorry for being a little of topic. Was the Wound badge produced by Paul Hadrbolec? It appears to be a WWII era type badge as it has a solid back. Regards Chuck
    17. Hi David, Not an official award piece as they are two sided. On the bright side not a bad filler piece for a collection. Regards Chuck
    18. Very nice medal. Military Medal of Merit Edition of 1832 (ehrenzeichen-orden.de) Regards Chuck
    19. The House Order of Vigilance Gold and Silver Merit Cross are listed in Neal O'Conners book Aviation Awards of Imperial Germany volume V (pg 22) as having been awarded in the 1st World War period from 1914-1919 in limited numbers.
