Outer box ...

Chris, Here's a couple of pics of my 3rd Class award in it's case with outer wrapper. I got it from Detlev a couple of years ago and I think it cost me 100Euros. This is the bronze one that Rick spoke about.

Photo #19 is a captured naval Sopwith Camel which was flown by Oblt Otto Kissenberth. On May 29 1918 he crashed in this aircraft and was injured. Photo #21 is another aircraft flown by Kissenberth, although I can't work out what it is at the moment. I believe the aircraft with the 4 bladed prop is a Siemens-Schuckert DIII simular to the one flown by Ernst Udet.

WoW ...thanks Rick, I've been trying to track this one down since I bought it. I didn't look that close when I first saw it for sale, just knew it was a Reuss award.

Joe .. I've visited your site quite a lot recently and I must say how impressed I am. One hell of a lot of information and experience there. Just tell me where do you find those helmets? Thanks for the replies, they've been a great help. I think my next step is to join pickelhaube.com as well.
