Wasn't that for WWI?

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:

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.

Thanks Ing! I owe you one.

and the front

thank you!

ooops!

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!

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.

@1914.

I suspect it once belonged to Charles Wooley-since much of his collection was being sold off.

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.

ah-perhaps the light dawns, for see here-

I got this last week-a bargain. I love the helmet.

I got this at a show last week...an impulse purchase. I think it's police by the middle ribbon, but would be very grateful if anyone can tell me exactly what it is I have here.

Ta,
