Looking at the medals' order-it appears the austrian medals are recognized as 'german'-which perhaps means post Anschluss, but pre long service medals issue. Makes you wonder who wore it without a long service medal-SA/ SA reserve/ party official/ DRK?

Really nice bar-to a man who fought in at least one tough battle and probably saw a lot of combat in france. I'd bet he ended up as an NCO and had a schnalle too.

It is the Hessian "war honour decoration": see Dave Danners' most excellent site: http://home.att.net/~david.danner/militaria/hessen.htm -
nice bar! The Austrian red cross medal makes the set!

I believe he also sells them on ebay. He is my source for replacement austrian trifolds.

Nice photo. See him (I think) also on ebay being sold with a BB & Co. star by joanem2816 out of Blaine, Washingtoon. Hatless, that photo shows him in Wilhelmshafen around 1917. http://coins-decorations.com/images/800-999/807/3.jpg picture into the void:

I LOVE the idea. Also, it enhances bars' historical value as there is provenance provided.

Not complete-but has lists for some of the awards, esp. 1919-35 ( a few private awards to "female singers" and tradespeople. Also some statutes.

I think #2 is fine. i have photos of berlin police who later went into the Wehrmacht who had this medal combination. #1...I do not know-but Rick will.

Try also: Max Hans' "Die Orden und Ehrenzeichen von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld und Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha: 1689-1935". (1986), Coburg Copy shop.

2nd one: My beloved war comrade Mr. Lt. Otto Rost, in fond rememberance, etc. etc. Hauptman von Frobel. date I am glad you got them. First one says basically the same thing.

Nice ones. I think some are made in France and Switzerland and 'extras' are sold on the open market.

Alas, I don't have the book- I was outbid. But Jeff Floyd (get better soon jeff!) will have a copy. I am willing to bet Glenn or somebody else has a copy though. Sorry.

You -you @#!X!% I can not take any more drama-what with Chris Boonzairs most excellent Adventure/ Ek mystery document-and Xmas coming on. My heart just can't this suspense.

I don't know, but there is a 300 odd page book that's a world wide bibliography of medal books out there. Floyd Johnson et al. just sold it. I'll go dig out the reference. Found it: Bibliography of Orders and Decorations by Mulder and Alec Purvis (nice bloke), 321 pp. 1999. softbound

Not even a small fire? So I need about 16 medals in all? Plus documents? Are they common to find at all? -

Welcome Dr. Jones (I always think of Aqua when i hear that)! Which was your Marine unit? Pity you missed Chris b.-he's on a plane to Cambodia over the Arabian desert at the mo- but he actually knew quite well a vet. officer of the Handschar. he has good stories. Do a search and you'll find some stuff.
