...and to add to what Rick and Chet have noted about the merit cross...It is extremely well made in real silver. The lower verticle arm is content marked 900 along with an "S". There is also a crescent moon and crown. This is fine on Merit Crosses but not too cool on WWI aviation badges eh, Rick?

Here is the reverse of the adler.

...and I thought it was just another nifty bar then suddenly, POOF! it becomes a 4:4 George. Just like the beer add said, "It doesn't get any better than this."

Smokin' Stogie just smokin'!

Here's a better picture. The question remains the same.

Rick, how much is that in Confederate money?
-
...and the complete bar.

Here's another on a 20mm ribbon.

I hope Rick Research will jump in here and comment on the early appearance of the Bulgarian award. Is there anything known of Reserve Infantry Regiment 64?
-
The reverse is also interesting since it has a button marked "For Gentlemen."

Here is a higher contrast shot of that wonderful little 3X mini from Stogieman.

I recently learned that "Serva Jugum" can be translated as "Keeper of the Yoke." It is the motto of the Kay family in Scotland but what, if any, connection this may have to the cross is unknown. Could it possibly be a metaphor calling for higher service? Rick, any input here??

Welcome, George! Nice to see you here. I can send better pictures if you'll send me your email. It's a handsome piece.

Saints Pandolf and Euthnasia are an engineering and construction order. I believe Himself is seen with the Knights Hospitaliers of the Order of Saint Tamara (St Tammy's Healers). It's all so very complicated but has something to do with orange ribbon thingies... Not to worry, Rick, just keep wearing that garland of garlic around your neck and you will be fine.

I happened on this this past weekend. It has a nimber "1" on the underside of the pin near the hinge. Feel free to speculate on the meaning of and purpose for the inscription, "Serva Jugum."

Ralph, congratulations on the nice addition.

This is easy! I am about to display my entire collection of minis! Stogieman, silver tongued devil that he is, has just doubled (maybe even quadrupled on a per medal basis) my collection of minis! http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1465

Welcome, Mark! Nice to have you aboard. Rich, Craig has a gorgeous Holler navy with hammered scabbard that is flawless. Check him out if you're interested.

I am ignorant of this award. It seems well made but what makes it special, Rick? -
Welcome, Rich! Nice to see you here and thanks for bringing the navies!
