2nd

Hi everybody, Have a look. I someone can read the name I will be happy. Thanks for your help. This group is not fantastic but I love and the price has been so small I can't resist. Regards Christophe

Hi everybody, Just to say that in France, I know few people who collect Imperial Germany awards. My aera influence is about 3 people only. One near me (less than 40 kms) and the others (800 kms from me). So it is difficult to show your treasure everytime. Vive Internet. With Internet we cans discuss and show via the webcam our new items but that's all. Christophe

For you the best books in english are the O'Connor's books. These books are in the first place in my room. I've read them, read them and will read them all the time. Because I want to have in memory the most important things about medals. You can read also the following book in french and in english : BLONDEL (J-M), Ordres des Etats de l?Allemagne Imp?riale, Boissy en Brie, sans ?diteur, 1987, 101 p. You will find only orders of each states. All orders are in color. I have bought this book in 1987 and I know it is very rare to find one exemplar. Christophe

Interresting medal bars buellmeister Regards Christophe

Hi Ramblinfarms, The SEHO is the second class with X (in silver). For the first class it is in gold I usually use the following abreviation to describe the medals: EK2 : iron cross 2nd class EH3bX : knight cross 2nd class with X of the Ernestine House Order SF3bX : knight cross 2nd class with X of the White Falcon of Saxe Weimar I will see if I have a date for the using of the french swords. Regards Christophe

Hi, Who can buy such fake for the price like that I don't understand. I have a copy of the Plm that my wife has bought for me 8 years ago for 400 francs fran?ais (80$). I love it because my wife makes me this gift. If people has got enough money to buy fake medals, they do what they want with their money. They can cry when they know the true. Christophe

Hi If everybody who like us love the Imperial ribbon bars and who know that these ribbon bars are fake we are obliged to say to the buyer that theribbon bar is a fake. I know it's an "utopie" but I don't understand why the price grow up so high. That's life. Our duty is to educate the simple men who begins the collection. That's my opinion. Christophe

Bob is right, it's the same for me when I see such beautiful items, I'm speakless (sans voix). Christophe
