      EXACTLY the point! There seems to be some evidence of transitional wear of Ottoman medals up to @1925.

      Isn't there a regimental book on the H&D? Daniel and glenn will know.
    3. Ulsterman
      Oui mon Club Host! The first thread says "WW1 and WW2". Also Kings medal in Cause of Freedom etc. Wasn't there an OMRS article on this a few years back?

      Earlier Chris Boonzair had one of these medals for sale that he picked up on his fruitful sojoun in Morocco! I think some Arabs/palestinians, Belgians and Greeks,Serbs and Albanians also got them.

      Mr. Seymor had good stuff. I'll bet he identified it. My apologies to Mr. T.-the facts have been explained.

      That 2nd Lts. uniform is a treat! You should do a book-or at least an article. Have you seen the Rumanian forum?

      sweet LS medal-you don't see the 12 very often-well, i don't anyway. Note the date on the bestowal doc too.

      ooops-wrong forum-please transfer to Central Powers Ed! Sorry.

      For Tim: Look on the left-and the right!

      My neighbor's husband had one of these in Frankfurt. His swords denoted a KVk with swords-the ribbon of which was beneath his EK2 medal ribbon.

      There is also a very nice Schiffer book out there on the Freikorps. It is expensive but worth it. Also, there are some very obscure works out there-but the one on the Bavarian Einwohner is very good albeit limited in scope. There are a number of articles worth looking at as well.

      sigh-alas, no regimental numbers to be seen anywhere.

      [attachmentid=54163]Brian what's his rank-Feldwbl Lt? Doubt very much its an noncom EK2-looks Hohenzollernish to me. Also: this one: Thanks very much Brian!

      ....another proffered picture for the eventual tome:
    15. Ulsterman
      THAT is one nice picture! If I had seen that bar today I would be very suspiscious-what with the sqaurish mount and the Austrian medal and all.
    16. Ulsterman
      Thanks Ing! I owe you one.
    17. Ulsterman
      and the front
    18. Ulsterman
      thank you!
    19. Ulsterman
      ooops!
    20. Ulsterman
      wow! How ever did he do that?! Great picture.

      Hi Ingsoc: I got this Yom Kippur ribbon off ebay. May I beg a favour and ask you to translate it? Do you know how many were awarded? The booklets' front has 0378544 on it. Thanks!
    22. Ulsterman
      Well, there were only 8 DSCs before 1914 and as it's an award for 'in the face of the enemy" I doubt it's a polar 1904 medal bar. Still, it's a mystery and makes no sense as a fake either-too odd and obscure and undoubtedly worn. My moneys on Red Cross/copper with some sort of DSC-like ribbon for Red Cross/county council service and dating from the 1920s. It has that "feel" to it.
    23. Ulsterman
      @1914. I suspect it once belonged to Charles Wooley-since much of his collection was being sold off.
    24. Ulsterman
      yeah-impulse buys are interesting. Flip it and you might have a CSC, Jubilee and Arctic medal-bizarre. Undoubtedly old and worn though-and on a very old style British mounting.
    25. Ulsterman
      ah-perhaps the light dawns, for see here- http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8856...hl=white+ribbon
