Hi Rick, yes they are from Germany.. By the lack of new posts of other similar medals--guess they are unique in a way..Happy to have them! Not a fancy enamel item--or cased piece but I have a lot of fun picking up items like this--glad not many others share my interests! Mike

wonder if the same person wrote the message on all three postcards--check out the dates--he dots the one's one the last one and not on the first two--that common?? The writting looks different--could the seller be adding a message on the cards??? Mike

This one is a reversal of the first with Bismarck in the middle. Now I know there are at least two different medals like this--any others out there?? Mike

well, today I found this--seems the Kaiser had a medal as well

Mine are along these lines--Mike

Don't have any WWII era stickpins as most of mine are Imperial but these kinda relate.. Mike

Ralph, that is a super watch! Never seen one like that before--you do have a nose for finding great items! A while back, Chris Boonzaier posted a thread about WWI regimental watches..(I think) what do they look like? Mike

Not to sound stupid--what does the 50 stand for?? The number of times he earned the award or the years he had it?? Did they have to request the number or was it awarded automatically? Mike

Here are a few in between the wars tinnies I have. delete if these are double posts. Mike

Dial on this one is not mint, but sure shows up well.

Outside case openned up.

I was wondering if there are other WWI German pocket watchs like this one. I have not seen this type of watch before and would like to see and hear about others. Thanks, Mike

Rick, that is an interesting comment. I don't know the seller on Ebay but how would you know he was suspended from Ebay for shill bidding? Do they make their reasons for suspension public? If so where do they post that information? Would love to check of a seller or two. Mike

I would be interested in one of each as well. Mike

Thanks to everyone for their help!! Mike

I picked this up recently and was wondering if anyone knew what it was for..Or is it even military related?? It is gold in color and larger than a silver dollar. Thanks! Mike
