Prevention is the most important. We have to make all examens at the age of 45 yo. It is better to begin earlier and find nothing than find cancer too late. It is my job of everyday but like people says all the time : 'till I have nothing I will not make medical exam". I heard this all the time. Sorry for your loss We pray for him Christophe

New photos of Grenadier Landwehr Regiment Nr. 100

Hi Matt, I will say same things that to your other post about ribbon bar. to much questions about this bar, so save your money Christophe

Hi Matt, For me there is a lot of mistakes in this bar. First, you note it, the green crown on the Miliar Verdienstorden. here we read that this ribbon is for the silver merit medal (for men and NCO). Of course if is for an officer ribbon it should be just after the ribbon of iron cross. We see that on several ribbon bars. But sometimes it arrives that this ribbon is on thrid position. Bref. The makers used a lot of swords devices, not the same at all. Very strange and why ? On the back it seems to have a red colour backing on the Hindenburg cross ? Why ? Where is it ? To be honest, there is a lot of questions wihtout answers, so for my own part I won't bid on it. Keep your money to buy better one. Just my two cents Christophe We need a better close up of the device for the Austrian Iron Crown, but it seems to be a fake.

Congrats Claudius for your restoration, it is very impressive. Matthew, about the Hindenburg cross, it is worn before all peacetime awards and just after wartime medals. Christophe

Hi, New photos : LIR 107, Oberst Aster with NCO

No one has the information ?

Hi Someone knows if a book with all Bavarian Military Merit Order 4th with X will be published soon ? I know that some german collectors have worked on those rolls, but still nothing today. Roth has published one book but rolls is not complete and all medals awarded later in the war are missing Christophe
