Very nice group with an interesting story

Gerd

Paul,

here you go:

Item: 3rd Reich Lifesavingmedal on Ribbon. Silver(content) "800" with original ribbon.

Dimensions: Width: 24,32mm Height: 28,94mm Weight: 9,42 gramms

Value: 300 Euro

The above described and below pictured Example is in my opinion a contemporary Original. Material, Quality and construction correspond to through technical literature provable Norms. Marginal tolerances are possible.

I hope, thats accurat enough.

Nice Medals, btw I now remember, you like Lifesaving-Medals. Didn?t you have other issues of LSM?s too beside this TR-issue?

best,

Gerd

Most impressive. Thanks for posting these cards, Dave.

Now go on and show us his group

Gerd

Yes, don?t misinterprete the silence with lacking interest. I have seen a lot of these badges and allways admired their beauty and craftmanship, but as my focus is on Cold War Awards, i never got to far to find out, what these are and for what these were awarded or given for. I don?t have any of these early badges, only a few common soviet ones, so i unfortunately can?t contribute to this forum.

Gerd

What these little jewels are!

badge in number 2 above (Komitet' Pomotschy Voinam' Priamurskago Kraya) says it is the "Committee for Assistance of Soldiers of the Priamursky Krai," so waaaaaaaaay out there somewhere along the Amur River--no clue what the bounds of the "Near Amur Region" were.

I agree with Rick. These badges are georgeous. I follow your and George?s threads every day and its most interesting to see these and also read about their meaning.

Even the custom made pieces look perfect, wow.

Gerd

Thanks, Joe. I guess, i need new glasses

best,

Gerd

Nico-there's something complete wrong with this EK.........it should be in my collection!

That's a beauty with a hard to find make mark-well done again!

Micha

Micha,

i read "GV 11" as the maker mark, is that right? Any idea, who that is?

Gerd

Updating my picture with one from the new camera!

I don?t know about everyone else, but that is the first real Danzig-ribbon, i have ever seen. Great find, Chet

The tricolor ribbon is Anhalt's men's 1895-1918 silver medal for 25 years in civil or private employment "Treue in der Arbeit."

Thanks, Rick

By the way, what's that last decoration?

--Chris

Chris,

thats the Silver Gouvernment Jubilee Medal 1896 (Silberne Regierungsjubil?ums-Medaille 1896) from Anhalt.

Gerd

WOW nice bar

I guess, Heiko will be jealous

just a little addition; a Bavarian fire brigade Schnalle in prinzengr??e on a ribbon bar with the Michael Order 4th class:

Daniel, that is a georgeous little bar

Wild Card, thanks for sharing your treasures. You have posted some awards in the last weeks, which i have seen here the first time in color

Great thread everyone

Bob, what is the red/green/white-ribbon on the bars in post 3 and 5? Do these two bars belong together?

Nice bars everyone

Gerd

Mir fehlen die Worte

I have also never seen such a COMPLETE group .

I agree, wonderful set. I have never seen a Bulgarian HSL, its great to see one finally.

Thanks for sharing, Ed.

Gerd

I think he forgot that he left everybody hanging!

Bear with him. He is just too busy playing with the toys, he has at home currently.

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the words of welcome.

The Order of Leopold I is primarily a long service award. The one Laurence has is of the military division, recognizable by the crossed swords under the crown suspension. The civil division has nothing there, the maritime division sports crossed anchors.

More on this subject and the other Belgian orders etc. can be found on my website at www.medals.be

Hendrik, what a fantastic website I guess, you are the same Hendrik? Did you make it yourself?

Again, great work

Here is another one, sold by an austrian auction house a while ago:

Hi Luft,

Refering to the flattened top part of the pin which at first glance seems very post warish.

Here is an example. Sold by Detlev Niemann. I think, these supposed to be Steinhauer & L?ck style?

Sally, nice photo-collection

How much do the one with the Brilliant-SC awardees go for?

I will keep my eyes open for SC-photos

Gerd

Its unbelievable i missed this thread

Awesome groups and Medal-bars

Hello Gerd,
