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.

Yes modern history researchers are asking the question, if the prohibition of orders and medals in § 109 of the constitution of Weimar was one of many reasons why people aren't loyal to the modern state and were willingly following the pied piper from the right.
So many veteran associations jumped in and brought out their own medals. But as said very interesting part of German history. I am looking forward to see more of it.
Thanks again BlackcowboyBS for your comments.

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.

Both the box and the medal look in great condition. A wonderful set.

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.

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.
