Hey all, got a nice 1908 FJ Jubilee Medal for Court Officials today. Best, Greg

Hello Enzo, sorry, but I really can't make out any marks. Looks like something is stamped, just can't make it out. Best Regards! Greg

Hey all, got a couple new Austro-Hungarian ones today. A Gold Merit Cross and nice period ribbon bar. Best, Greg

Thanks so much! Just what I was looking for. Have a good one! Greg

Hey all, does someone have the correct Order of Precedence for Austro-Hungarian ODM at the end of 1918? I have the 1908 precedence, but not for any awards established after that year. Thanks so much as always! Greg

Thanks guys. I paid $10 a piece for them. Best, Greg

Hey all, I know next to nothing about A-H Cap Badges, so I need some help. I got these two dirt cheap, so....real or fake? Thanks so much! Greg

You bet, happy to help! Greg

As requested

Thanks all for the kind words. I'll try and get some pics of the reverse tonight. Best, Greg

Hey all, got a few ribbon bars today. Very happy with them! Best, Greg

Hello, the backing for the Medal Bar was an older piece of cord, that was pretty well shot. It basically fell apart. To be honest, I restrung the medals on a pipe cleaner to keep them together. I know what you mean about the Wound Medal ribbon. I used the great info you posted on my question about ribbon originality, and it appears to me that the ribbon is not modern. I do think as you suggest that the medal has been added to an unused ribbon. Thanks so much as always for your input! Greg

Hey all, got a nice Medal Bar and 5 Wound, Wound Medal today. Been looking for the Wound Medal for awhile. I now have all 6 Wound Medals, so I'm one happy fellow! Best, Greg

Thanks so very much!!!! Great info and very helpful. Does this also apply to ribbon bars as well? Thanks again! Greg

Hey all, so....what is one way(s) you can tell if a trifold ribbon is original or a modern reproduction? Any info would be great! Thanks as always! Greg

Hey all, got a couple more for my collection. Was able to get a 4 wound, Wound Medal, still looking for that 5 wound one! The MMC and Bravery Medal are cherry (thanks Mike!) Best, Greg

Hey all, my son Jim gave me an early birthday present today. He hand drew and painted the Hapsburg Coat of Arms to accentuate my A-H collection. He's very talented as you can see. He's a great son!!!! Here's a couple of pictures of it Best Regards, Greg
