That's true. And it looks like the Chiffre was missing since long time I would go with Reichswehr story. I have a photo of my great great uncle Otto with this IOD. If you want I can post ist when I'm back home

Thank you very much guys. 

Yeah looks like but I wonder why he choose silver instead of gold for the medal. We will never known 

Hello all, 

Here my great great grandpa's single 1870/71 medal with bars. 

I don't know why his medal is silver colored but it is indeed the combatant medal. Even with the rim engraving

My only medal bar with an Bavarian award. 

Shame on me 

Thank you very much guys. 

How hard would it be to find such a piece? 

Hello all, 

This is an Infanterie Offiziers Degen from my Family. At some point in history someone took of a emblem frome the handle (I hope it's the right word) 

Does anyone know know what's missing there?

That's really cool because I was born in Blankenburg and I know Family Schrader from Rübeland. 

Small world

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 

Hello all, 

I think it's time for me to part with this Besitz Zeugnis for the Schützenschnur. 

It's a very nice looking one. Awarded to an Oberfeldwebel of the Bomben Schützen Schule Bug. 

I have this nice piece since nearly 18 years in my collection. 

I think I never shared it before. 

So here it comes.

So far I don't see any red flags here. If the price is right I would grab it. 

Thanks Nicolas. 

Also nice crown and swords on the bar in your profile photo 

Hello all, 

The company of Friedrich Allihn produced small Aluminium Model Planes during the period of the 3rd Reich and before. I have a Klemm L25. 

I would love to see others as well. 

My Klemm is slightly damaged as you can see that the Propeller is missing. 

Hello all, 

Today I got this medal. It's my first Tsarist medal ever. 

So I'm quite excited. 

But I'm curious what the award conditions are and if there is any chance of a matching ribbon. 

The yellow spots are play dough. 

Looks like some kids used the medal as stamp of some kind 

Hello all,

got this nice piece yesterday. It was cheap so I grabbed it. It's a very stunning piece of history. A lot of color is still on it.

hope you like it as well as I do

 

Still a neat combo

Thanks Monster. I like the Merit Medal they are not that common when mounted on a bar

Just a Trucker... This guy was a truck driver and a ww1 veteran. as far as i know he made some surplus diverys to the Westwall as civilian worker and got the Westwall medal. Later the War Merit medal.

Hello all,

Today I got my first finish medal. It's a present for my dad.

Is it a good one? Is it hard to find the ribbon? Was 30€ ok for it?

I know I know to many questions but single my dad has cancer I'm happy about any piece I found for him.

Have a nice one

Stefan

Hello all,

I saw this badge recently and I wonder if it is a good one?

I know the pics aren't the best but the details on the front are promising.

anyway I never saw a real one in real life maybe someone can enlighten me.

A two placer and my one and only with a Weimar Award

Hello all,

this shooting medal is the only one I ever kept in my Collection. It's a very interesting one since it's awarded in San Francisco.

Hope you like it as well as I do.
