      Chuck, They were award pieces up until 1923.

      Thanks Christophe. Yes the ones marked with the 'G' on the ring do not come up that often.

      Thanks VtwinVince. Here is another without the Godet marking.

      Here is a Mecklenburg-Strelitz Cross for Distinction in War 2nd class award, comments welcomed. This one has the Godet manufacturing 'G' marking on the ring.

      Thanks Bayern. My collection is a very small sample, there were many veterans associations that sprang up across the republic after WW1 with a variety of badges and medals, some with multiple clasps, just the Kyffhauser 1914-1918 War Veterans Commemorative Medal alone has about 76 official clasps.

      Lastly the German Imperial Naval Corps Flanders Cross with 4 battle clasps:

      Nice picture. Reminds me of the first battle of Bull Run during the American Civil War, when the civvies turned up from Washington D.C. to supposedly see a Union victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Not 100% sure but he looks a little like FML Johann Ulrich von Salis-Seewis. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Ulrich_von_Salis-Seewis

      Not sure why this picture in is a 100 books but it is not the commonly used picture of Hitler(even though it is the same location). I do not believe Hitler is actually in the picture. The picture below is the picture usually used to show Hitler at this location:

      Both the box and the medal look in great condition. A wonderful set.
    24. graham
      Christophe, Thanks again. Beautiful case. My case's catch/button system is slightly different to yours, so I am not quite sure whether it is ok or not.
    25. graham
      Christophe, Thanks. The case's catch/button looks a little different from the first one shown in this thread so I was not entirely sure. I know both Zimmermann and AWS made these crosses, I was unsure whether they made all the cases as well and whether this one was one of them.
