nice looking!

are they both real gold or silver gilded?

christian

i would translate it with Front (front) K?mpfer (fighters) Buch (association) - and they most probably existed between the wars. nothing really specific, but i at least don't even know any kind of reference material about such items.

christian

could it be a us bronce-star?

christian

does someone know what kind of shoulderboards these are?

and what the C indicates?

thanks much in advance christian

nice group and great order of the crown!

up to now i have seen a similar "designed" wreath only ones on a frech legion of honor knight and i was so "cought" at it!

(sadly i wasn't able to buy it - but i guess, i'll never forget how nice it was made compared to so many "normal" decorations!)

thats craftsmenship in high-end-class!

thanks for sharing christian

have to agree heikos statement - and the price would be more than a bargain if real!

christian

interesting picture - as it seems that he wears the spange to the ek 1 without the ek! or do i really need glasses?

christian

very nice grouping!!!

can you post the story, why he got the MoH?

and as a side note - the way you display his medals is candy for the eyes, sadly a museum curator like the one who is working in this museum doesn't have any feeling for medals and only such a person can put them the way he is don't! and the repair on the legion-of-honor-knight wouldn't be a big problem as the seelwax can everytime heated again and the repair is "un-done".

christian

does someone have info about this badge - from the colors and everything i would say its from estonia and the way it looks seems to be a firefigthers badge - but thats all i can tell. hope some others can do more.

christian

hy andy,

thanks for the help on it!

do you know what a fair marked value f it would be?

best regards christian

i'd like to put this decoration up for discussion - is it a 25 years cross or a 40 years cross?

it is definately gilded.

thanks much for the help in advance christian

the back is plain withe enamel - its from the champer of commerce and trade from oldenburg and was awarded between the wars.

this is the second class, the frist class is a vaulted cross in the same design but with no enamel on the reverse - but a vertical pin.

christian

found a pic of a frist class:

got these today - but i really don't know what they are!

thanks much for the help in advance christian

its a non common decoration for sure - but the value is hard to tell, as there is only a small amount of collectors which are specialiced in these.

so my guess for an undamaged one would be between 100.- and 300.- euro (you just need to find the buyer for it who is looking for one - but this might take a little time)

hope i was able to help a little christian

reverse:

with a few other items i got these.

but before selling them, i'd like to know what they are (to learn a little more, as i really never have seen any of them!)

are these cap badges, regimental insignias or something else?

1st one is unmarked

2nd one is marked Y DELASRT 89100 SENS G 2298

3rd one is marked ZAGREB IKOM

4th one is marked twuice AUROMETAL SUBOTICA

5th one is marked 1995 Megaplast AUTOR LABAT

thanks much in advance christian

front:

thanks a lot for the help david!

and this would make sens, as it is the "youngest" decoration on the bar and in the last place after a few other commemorative decorations!

thanks again christian

does someone know, which medal is represented by this ribbon? (its a thai ribbonbar and this ribbon in the last place) - as my thai-medal-books are not up to date, i wasn't lucky in finding it.

any help is very much appreciated!

christian

yes, its a small rosette on the ribbon for the officer class

christian

thanks a lot for the comments and the id try's!

when i saw this, i was really amazed to see the amount of awards and liked.

sadly the quality isn't that good, as it is a rather small pic, so here a try on the medalbar (can do it bigger, but its getting more and more unclear)

christian

i would read it like this:

1st prize junior championship of viena in greek-roman wrestling

its a very well made decoration - and a nice 1st price! (better than the soccer "medals" you get nowadays!)

christian

yes, its waldeck - from the picture it seems to be a 4th class cross without enamel on the arms.

as the luftwaffe was a new technology - the pilots get to be some kind of heros. and therefor i like to present you a nice pic of one of these guys. (and he did have service in the 2nd ww as well). hope you like the pic.

christian

wow - thanks a lot for the replys to all!

and yes, i'm very interested in the researchable stuff

also with the small listing of possibilities i might be able to get.

(wrote the info down now - and in 2 weeks i try to go to a medalshow and we'll see, what i'm able to bring home ) and you'll be the frist to have a look at it!

still a lot to learn and keeping in mind - but with the items in hand it'll be much easier i guess (might this be a good explanation for enlarging the collecting field )

thanks much to all christian

ok, now the complete and correct list:

1st row

argentina

turky

netherlands

2nd row

portugal

? (no idea on that - but definatly not india)

denmark

hope i could help at least a little

christian
