Thanks so much everyone!! Just what I was looking for! Sure do appreciate it. All the best! Greg

Thanks Dave!! Do you have the breakdown for the rank/class criteria? Thanks again!!! Greg

Hi all, I'm sure this has been covered before, if so please bear with me. Anyway, my question is, what was the criteria for this award (to include the crown device) and was this award given according to the individuals rank? Was this also a progressive award like the EK? Thanks so very much! Greg

Hi, hope this is the correct forum! Anyway, I was wondering were the Diamond grade War Badges (U- Boat, S-Boat, etc) fall into play with regards to order of precedence. Do these badges "outrank" say the German Cross (in Gold), Roll of Honor Clasps of even the Knights Cross? I know that they are worn above the EKI, but what about other decortaions? I guess, just were do they "fit in"? Thanks so much!!!! Greg

Thanks so very much!! This was the info I was looking for. Sure makes things clear. I do appreciate all your help in this!! All the best! Greg

Hi all, was wondering were the idea of War Badges came from? None from WWI, seems to be a TR idea. Any info will be helpful. Thanks! Greg

Hi all, as a Retired member of the US Army, I have no time for these people what so ever!!! I've known a few like him (not as bad) in my 23 years in the army and they should get the max fine/sentence IMHO. Take care! Greg

Very nice workmanship, but a bit out of may range! Greg

Hi all, just wanted to get some opinions/facts on what where the highest Bravery awards given to NCO's and men of the various German states during or prior to WWI. Just the name of the award will be fine, unless you care to get into detail. Thanks so much as always!!!! Greg

Hi all, can anyone one tell me something about this award? I've heard that this was Lippes highest bravery decoration, true or not? I think its a very attractive medal. Thanks as always!!! Greg

Hi, I have a book entitled "Hitlers Legions" it gives a make up of units and history of all the ground divisions (Heer, LFD, Para, SS and KM) While not a true OB its very well done and a very good reference (IMHO) I think you can get one on Amazon or Abebooks. Good Luck! Greg

WOW!! Do you think they threw in the picture for free? Greg

Thanks Mike, nice bar!! and good picture of the Kaiser, how much did the bar go for if you know? Greg

Hi all, just was curious, does anyone know where the ODM of Wilhelm II are? Are they with the family or at Doon? Thanks!!! Greg

Hi all, I ran across this award while looking at a book on JAAF aces. It stated it was awarded for attacking and downing B-29's. Has anyone ever heard of this award? And if so, what is the criteria for its award? The book also stated it was the equal of a MOH or VC. Thanks!! Greg

Wondeful pics!!! Great looking. Anyone have any others of any ISR awards? Thanks!!!! Grg
