Hello Gentlemen I have some diaries that belonged to M.Schuch 1870's era. All I know is that he held the rank of Oberst-Commandant Des hgl.3.Infanterie-Regiments Prinz Carl Von Bayern. Does anybody know what orders & medals he had received, info on his life in the service. Hope somebody can help, be neat to put the group together again. Thanks Yankee

Hello Gentlemen Can any person shed light into the history of this medal & share with other viewers. All I know it was isued in 1858 during the great plague in Lisbon that was taking place. Thanks

Hi John That is very smart advice you have given me, key is to be patient this I need to remember. It is all to common to jump in without the proper research & books. I can see it would be most preferable to purchase from a knowledgeable collector then through other avenues. Many thanks. Sincerely Yankee

I thought to collect a few myself, however after reading the posts it is a bit discouraging. It seems to collect the flying badges of Prussia & Bavaria is like walking into a minefield Perhaps I'd be better off in the Austro-Hungarian, Bulgarian arena. Or is that too plagued with fakes.? Thanks for making me aware of the pitfalls on this topic. Yankee

Hello Here is a reduced size of Charles llll. The style of center dates early to mid 19th century. Does anybody know why this badge was designed not having a ball tip? A jewelers mistake maybe, any thoughts would be greatly welcomed.

Hello again There is no hallmark. The enamel is transparent exactly like the Austrian Leopold arms.
