Thanks VtwinVince.

Thanks everyone. Front:

What do people think, good or bad?

Very interesting markings. Maybe from Krakow? https://www.silvercollection.it/DICTIONARYEUHALLMARKPOLAND.HTML None of these are a perfect match but some come close.

Interesting little group. Thanks for sharing.

Just faded I think. Have you checked the unexposed area of the ribbon to see if it still retains its original colour?

Nice piece.

Egyptian Military Technical College? http://www.mtc.edu.eg/mtcwebsite/

Sorry, my error. I think there were 3 awarded to the Honvéd part of the Austro-Hungarian army (not sure if they were awarded during Franz Joseph's reign or Karl's or a combination of both).

Great find. 'Small Silver FJ Bravery Medal with 3 repeat bars' - very hard to find. I think I read somewhere many moons ago that only about 3 were awarded.

Nice collection. Congratulations. Love the VC!!!!!!!!!

Greg, This is an interesting site: https://www.omsa.org/attachments-an-interesting-story-of-embellishment-part-iv/ I have seen bars marked 'ALPACCA - SILBER' as well. Josef Zimbler had some of their bars marked 'JZ'.

Oldenburg, Cross of Loyalty of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Cross of Honor. I am assuming 1st class. 2nd class below: https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=3007&lot=4471

Best wishes to all this Christmas and New Year.

Great collection. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Graf.

One I picked up a few years ago, in its case. Comments welcomed:

Vince, Thanks. I purchased it at a Thies auction back in 2017. Good learning curve.

Solid.
