Hi all Further to an earlier posting. I went for the Zimmerman and I love it! Its a beauty! Thanks for the help guys. Rob

Indeed it is Jacques and Austrian?

Kevin Could you recommend literature/website on German orders (any reich)? I know of a couple of books and of course I use the net for info. I am learning all the time and I feel this forum is a great way to learn and has really helped me! Regards Rob

Hello~ I have just come back from a collectors fair where I picked up this item from. I like it and was assured it is original so I parted with ?35 for it. Can anybody give me any information on this item as I know nothing about it? As I say it took my fancy and bought it. The pin badge (top of medal) reads "DEUTSCHE KRIEGER BUND" and on the cross it reads "KRIEGER U. LANDW. VEREIN" and "JEETZE" On the reverse of the pin badge it has maker "HEINR.TIMM-BERLIN-WALLSTR. 21/22" Thanks for your help and once again what a great forum! Rob

Thanks again guys....... this site really is very good to a novice like myself. I did think it was original and its good to get a 2nd opinion and to know that the dealer is "kosha". A magnet doesnt work on this so maybe you got it spot on Schiess'. Anyway thanks for your input and time to both of you Rob

Hi all I bought this from a dealer who sold as an original and it probably is but my concern is on the reverse of the medal there are "bumps". Could this be caused by a poor mould and was that a common feature on these medals? I know these are common but I also think every German medal has been faked! Any help on this would be very much appreciated Rob

Anyone dealt with "rittervonholz" on e-bay? Is he a good guy? Thanks Rob

Cheers fellas that has helped a lot. One more thing though.....The L/11, isnt the mark supposed to be in a box as I read somewhere that the L/11 early 57 EKs where marked in a box identical to the 39 EKs?

Ok thanks guys I will let you know which one i go for on close inspection!

ok here is reverse..... Thanks for your opinion Russel much appreciated!

....I am thinking of buying both these items and choosing one and selling the other. I am a beginner collector of German medals and am learning stuff all the time, like buying fakes when I very first started!! They are both from a dealer of these things and both state "original" so am confident (i think????) on originality. I guess what I am asking is: what would be more desirable/higher end item to an EK collector, double marked but a bit salty OR in vgc with a single mark. The double marked is slightly more in price but negligible in the wider scheme of things. Thanks Rob

Hi~ I have deliberated over these 2 EKs? hard to decide so 2nd opinions are most welcome! The EK on red background is MM L/11 and looks in good nick the other EK has some small rust around the swas and a touch of rust on left arm but is double marked 20 & L/52. Not sure which one? advice from more knowledgeable people than myself on this subject would be most grateful. Thanks EuRob

Hi~ I am a new member on this site and saw the post with the "Medalla de la campa?a". I too have one of these although I dont know much about it except that it was a common award to all those who fought in 1936-39 civil war. My version has 2 initials AM under the griffins? foot, also on the reverse alongside the shield is the maker "industrias Egana". (see pics) Can anyone give me any info on this medal and/or the marks? Thanks Rob
