just saw Bernhard's post—over in 'Links to Websites'—thanks for that. @Ulsterman - the only pictures I currently have are on the site, albeit only from the back; the only man not wearing a uniform. Other pictures are purely in memory, younger university days with Schmiss... I do not recall ever seeing one of him wearing the medals. If ever I find more I will post them. @Paul R - true, I have not posted a price. May be some ambivalence on my part? I have researched most objects but there are some I'm still unsure about. Also all pieces are in excellent shape (except where noted) and in their original cases.

Thank you, I've definitely given the selling some thought. As mentioned in the short write up on my site the medals and their history have fully engaged my appreciation and given impetus to further investigation and that for me is most valuable. On the other hand life changes... and changes have taken the collector out of me. Nevertheless the appreciation remains hence my effort of putting together the site which serves a dual purpose of documentation for selling, and that of being a digital reliquary in honor of my grandfathers medals. If I were simply interested in selling them I would have enlisted an auction house. My hope is to find a good home at a fair price.

hmmmm, well I guess a thumbnil did post above.... I'll try one more - nope, sorry, now there's not even an attachment option - - may be a daily limit?

pic size allowed per post is very limited here... but I'll post a few more, otherwise please refer to - http://cumuluseraoutpost.com well, apparently I've already arrived at my upload limit... basic uploader's not working either. please see link. Thanks

A collection of medals awarded to my grandfather who fought in both WWI and WWII. I am not a collector per se, rather the honored recipient of this very personal collection. I have documented the box and its contents and written a little more about it here : http://cumuluseraoutpost.com Included in the box are Knight's Cross of St. Henry, Albert Order Knight Cross with swords, miniature versions of said medals on gold chain, Iron Cross 1st and 2nd class, WWII Merit Cross Medal with Swords, etc. I am offering them for sale.
