Hello Gentleman,
Let see if I can wake this tread up a bit.
Yesterday I bought the following group of medals, they were found in a small castle in the Netherlands (story to be confirmed) I was told that the castle needed to be cleaned out after the last inhabitant died, the furniture was auctioned of and the medals were found by the people who cleaned if afterwarts in and old blanket chest in the attic..almost a to good to be true story... but..
The medals are placed on the cushion by means of safety pins, except for the iron cross 1st and the wounded badge. when I first saw te pictures I had to search a bit to find out the first one is a rare Waldeck medal, I collect orders from Netherlands and Belgium, so this is not really my cup of thea.. but.. it's interesting, or shal i say intriguing... the fact they are mounted on this cushion, and also that it seems to be a real group of one person which was cherished in a way. Did the owner died because the medals ar not Mounted together ? Elsewhere I read the Waldeck medal was awarded 73 times so would it perhaps be possible to put a name with this group of medals ?
Lots of questions and I hope one of you can help me in my search..
Tim
