Thank you very much Paul 

Hello all, 

Today I found this medal on a lokal fleamarked. Payed 3€ for it.

But I can't find any informations about it. 

Maybe someone can help me here. 

Hello all, 

Finally I found a 1815 medal. I was looking for one since 20 years. I got that one for 13€. 

It's kinda hard to make a good photo since the medal is covered with a dark patina. 

Im so happy still can't believe it 

Hard to tell. Looks like it's direktly printed on the wood.

I'm still looking for one. Not an easy job 

It's dated 1932 

A non combatant

A 4 placer

A single 

A baden

Hello all

today I saw a medal of the So called Bismarckbund. Looks like it's hard to find any informations about this medal / Organisation. 

Maybe someone here knows more. 

Hello all, 

I found this one interesting - maybe nothing special - but my first Sailor with a Kreta Cuff title 

Here a Pic from my collection. 

Also thanks for this wonderful and helpful topic! 

Hello all, 

Got this nice photo today. He's heavy armed. Maybe someone can identify his uniform. 

Nice one. 

A = Algemeiner (Allgemeine) 

T = Turn (Turner) 

V = Verein (Vereinigung) 

A= ? 

Saw them usually with not more than two stars. 

I know that the reichsbahn of the gdr had shoulder boards like this with 3 stars - rank was Reichsbahn Oberassistent if I remember correctly. 

Probably officer candidate (Offiziers Anwärter) 

Would be my guess 

Thanks, 

The ribbons look very small. Maybe for a miniature medal or could he have worn the full size medal as well?

Now, that is a nice example of an early ribbon/medal bar...

Photo please...always good to put a face to awards. 

Thank you very much. 

Here is the photo. Looks like he was very proud of his Ford Modell AA (?). Never saw a civilian one with a Notek light.

Sorry for bringing back this old topic. But since I saw those sacrace mounted War merit medals i hoped I would ever find one of these to. 

And here is the one I found. The owner was a ww1 veteran and later Truck driver who delivered supplies for the Westwall. Later he got the War merit medal to. He died before the war was over as his civilian truck was straffed by ground attack planes. 

I also have a photo of him and his Truck. 

REST IN PEACE 

Reverse Pic. Maybe of interest it's the simple DRGM marked one

I found this neat single medal bar. Looks like it is for the Hohenzollern Denkmünze 1848.

Thanks. The link about those blockhouses are very interesting. Never heard or seen them before. 

Found another example online. But... You know... I can't say anything about the price 

Thanks all! 

Next time I should take a look at the reverse. There you can read 

"De Wet's breakthrough through the blockhouse line"

Was there a particular battle? 

I added a few more pics for you. Again thank you very much guys 

Hello all, 

First - sorry if this is the wrong section to post this picture. I found it during a house cleaning. It is originally framed. 

It looks like the soldiers are wearing British helmets. Of course I can be totally wrong here. 

Maybe someone can enlighten me on this one. 

It's a big picture and it's definitely older. 

Again if those are not British I am sorry. 

Best 

Stefan

Hello all, 

I found a picture of Hermann. I saw a similar one online as well. Are those just 3rd Reich merchandise or are this Luftwaffe related? 

Hello all, 

Im looking for informations about this pin. I know that the pin is from the WWK Witwen und Weisenkasse. Since the Insurance company is still existing - although with a changed logo - is there a chance to estimate the age of that pin? 

A police star with black enamel on top blue background enamel. 

Very decent construction.
