    1. The SMMM was awarded ~ 201.000 times. It is the equivalent to the prussian EK2. It was awarded to EM and NCO. The GMMM was awarded to EM, NCO and -sometimes- to officers, later the most of them got the MMO. If they got the GMMM they returned the SMMM (not every times), if they got the MMO the returned the GMMM. The shown medal looks like a lat(er) Zweitstück.
    2. Does someone have a name`s list of the Schaumburg-Lippe cross "Für treue Dienste" on non-combatant ribbon. (281 awards) May be Dave D.? What did happen with all the Data of Rick Lundström? Does one of you have it now?
    3. thanks for your comments. Yes it`s the set from Rick. I have a lot of non combatant bars, so i think he will be happy about it and smile down from his cloud Some more of his bars are now in different german collections. (Daubenkropf and others)
    4. Got it yesterday. One of Ricks pieces, it has a good condition. Not easy to find those non combatant ones with red cross decorations of the 30s/40s years. Now i have three of them. ' alt='' class='ipsImage' >
    5. Add a RAO4 and the bar is complete. Seems, that he got the most of his medals for civil merit. The Centenarmedal is a gilded private purchased & reduced piece. I think the bar wasn`t made by Godet. It looks like a JHW piece.
    6. I think we need better pics of the medals and ribbons. I would like to have a look under the back wool. How much is the bar?
    7. it was awarded for bravery in the field. Normally it could be awarded to persons, who got the wound badge/EK2 bevor. In the fields it was called Blutiger Ludwig. No one knows exactly the awarded numbers - may be 2000 - 3000 (Rosenwald research)
    8. Wenn Du mal Zeit hast, kannst Du ja auch noch ein paar Hessen-Schnällchen einstellen Ins Bett genommen? - das hat Dir deine Frau bestimmt nicht verziehen
    9. Hehe... die hat er alle vor kurzem zum Geburtstag bekommen. Wenn du die alle mal irgendwann weggibst gibt`s nen Sonderkatalog a la Beyreiss.
    10. Thats true - but not everyone was interested in wearing it. That`s the same like the centenial medal or some kind of DA`s The bar is a late Godet one.
    11. Here a new one i could get. If i am right, the Coburg medal was only awarded ~ 300 times. It has the typical silver stamp. Seems he was an Luftwaffe official - with the 4 / 12 DA may be in a rank of an Hauptmann/Major?
    12. A medic - may be. A doc - imo not. those were officers and normally they got higher decorations + red cross medal(s)
    13. the war aid cross was awarded ~ 500 000 times. I have had 2 bars with the same shown combination. The brunswicks on schwefelgelbem Bande are rarer to find, but not x-tremely rare.
