Hi

to be honest I hate to see someone destroying part of history to make a profit. I spend so many years and money to reunite items, medals and papers from same person to see that. I can't understand. We can do anything to avoid this.

as it is my collection theme, I will try to reunite the album.

Christophe

Hi,

Dave Danner has already put the name of Kurt Peltzer on his Baden list ?. See below

Hi Graham,

Thanks.

In Jacob's book there is a ZIECH who lived in Berlin, is it yours ?

ZESCH in Stuttgart

ZUBER in Pforzheim

That's all I have

Christophe

Hi

Hauptmann Alfred Wilhelm von Rosenberg Gruszczynski received the HOH3X on 24 November 1917. In the Geile's book it is in december 1917

Christophe

Hi everybody

Today I have received this nice box for iron cross 2nd class from 1914.

I appreciate your comments

Christophe

Hi everybody

I have this iron cross since a while and I have never seen if there is an hallmark. I can see one Z on the ring.

Can you tell me which jeweler has made it. I have found some in the Jacob's book, but no one has made the iron cross. thanks for your help

Christophe

Hi Graham

What a beauty. Not easy to find. 8500 crosses were awarded during WW1. Congrats

Thanks, I got that! ? The last one: Militärverdienstkreuz (Österreich) with Kriegsdekoration, do you know which class?

He has probably received ÖM3K . I have not seen the cross as a commander cross on the photo.

99 were awarded, but only Carl Eduard Herzog von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha and Fritz von Selle received the Kriegskreuz with Brillanten? Very rare indeed!

Three men received the CKmBr

the last one is the Czar of Bulgaria

Here is the cross with Brilliants from Thies auction Nr. 60 from June 2016

Christophe

Thanks Chris,

I don't remember seeing such box since a while. Here is the cross which were in the case when I bought it

Christophe

Hi

Fritz von Selle received the Card Eduard War Cross on 19 July 1916. Von Selle received the Pour le Mérite Order on 6 January 1918, after that the Duke Carl Eduard gave Oberst von Selle the Brillants to the cross in 1918.

Years ago Andreas Thies sold the Carl Eduard War Cross with Brillants and its original box in one of his auction.

Christophe

Hi everybody

I have this box since several years and it is this weekend I have taken photos and see that the inscription has the date 1914/15. What do you think about it ? Thanks for your comment. I show only the box, I have the cross to go with it.

Christophe

Hi Daniel,

Great bar, congrats. Is it possible to know the date on the CM2X  claps please ? Thanks

Christophe

Hi

A very nice knight cross 2nd class with X of Zähringen Order. For me one of the most beautiful cross. Congrats

Christophe

Very nice combo with Turkish ribbons.

For me the man who received this bar finished the war as an NCO. He probably became an officer after 1935.

I like the Liakat ribbon. I have never had a ribbon bar with ribbon. I only had one ribbon bar with Imtiaz ribbon

Christophe

Hi

It is not easy to find such good item on ebay. Before biding, read the article of Andreas (medalnet) here about the design of the Eagle

http://www.medalnet.net/Eagle_Design.htm

Only after that and after reading information about the good or bad Red Eagle Order, you can bid or not.

Christophe

Hi

Very nice ribbon bar. I lie a lot the silver swords. They are impressive. Congrats

Hi

Nice ribbon bars. It is strange to see on the first one, that the two first ribbons are smaller than the others. it's not too common to see

About the second one, a very nice Thuringian ribbon bar. I like to see Ernestine ribbon and Saxe Weimar ribbon. This bar is probably an NCO ribbon bar.

Congrats

Christophe

Here is a new one I have not shown yet

Christophe

Hi

Nice bar. The first one is not necessary for the EK2, it might be the Crown Order 4th class with swords or the Red Eagle Order 4th class with swords. Of course it can be possible if only it is an officer bar.

Christophe

Hi

Very nice ribbon bars. On the first one the Third ribbon is for which medal ? as it is paler than the others I can't recognise it.

The first one is for an enlisted man or junior NCO during the war (there is only the saxon Friedrich August medal, probably in bronze).

The second ribbon bar is for a junior officer from Bade.

Congrats

Christophe

Very nice wartime ribbon bar, congrats.

Here is one of my favorite ribbon bar  : a Saxon one with WK3X (the owner received the WK3XmL)
