That’s so annoying isn’t it.
I recently found a ‘dead’ relative on an immigration list in America… only available to see the in person 😡 I wrote to them ‘expressing my disappointment’ and they kindly helped me themselves.
The other scenario is these institutions will often do research for a fee…
Austrian archives charge 35euros.
It may be worth an email to them 🤷♂️

Yes, that is really annoying. There must be stacks of Commonwealth and Imperial records out there, but not accessible unless you visit the actual records office.
I remember though when all you could get of UK records was the Medal Index Card.

Thanks Gordon, it isn’t usually like that is it… when I found the lists It was a pleasant surprise,tony 🍻
let us know if you find out anything interesting 👍tony 🍻
Hi, just an update, the rolls and legders are not searchable online, so you have to visit the records office in Australia to manually search.
Thanks for the help, Duncan.

Hi Duncan,
looks like there are registers with the names for numbered badges, maybe they are the badges you have…

Duncan,
I don't collect pins for the Canadian Veterans organizations that existed in Canada following the first world war but I would like to try and help. The links below might be of some use to you. The last one, from the Canadian War Museum, indicates that the pins you posted, or ones like them, would have existed from 1919 until 1938.

That's fantastic, many thanks both of you. I read that a Doctor Valude removed Monet's cataracts, but can't find where I read that now.
Thank you again Hendrik and pinpon590, that's very much appreciated.

Can someone tell me please how unusual it is for a Hindenburg Cross to have no makers mark on the rear. Does this signify anything, like later issue, or post WW2 issue?
Thank you.

There are no reliable dealers of which I'm aware. Helmut Weitze is the most obvious and high-profile. But, even he has fakes being sold as genuine from time to time. Unless you know your stuff, it's risky to buy anything from any dealer, unless the dealer can be 100% vouched for.
What are you actually looking for?
Would really like the Silesian Eagle and Baltic Cross. Bit of a minefield though, I often see things sold as copies that look genuine to me!

Hello, does anyone know of any reliable dealers I can buy the odd Freikorp medal from please? I'm not that great at telling fakes from genuine, so if someone knows of a trustworthy dealer please can you let me know. My usual dealers don't seem to stock them, and I don't trust ebay.
I'm in the UK.

Thank you both, that's really interesting. Seems to be for the 1920 National Day for Large Families.

Thank you Graf. Fantastic photos and thank you for the information.
Thank you Hendrik, I thought it changed from French text to French and Flemish. I spent ages yesterday looking online for a French only one but of course couldn't fine one. Thank you for clarifying that.

Can someone tell me the difference between the pre and post 1958 Belgian Labour Decoration please? Or does anyone have a photo of a pre 1958 one please?

How common it is, I can’t say.
But I can confirm it is possible to have the Burma Star and France & Germany Star. I had a relative (who was in the army) with just such a group. I found it fascinating that he had fought both the Japanese and the Germans, during the war.
Thank you, that's really interesting.
