This medals were allways made of silver except the gold version. The ribbon bar is not from the period. Kind regards Alex

If you never seen something before, it is not a good sign. what brings you to buy this without any reference? I ask because, I will never buy something I don't have a good feeling and never seen before, especially when it was offered on a show. I don't have a good feeling on both badges. kind regards alex

Wellcome on this forum. Please keep in mind that this is a military forum not a platform for political discussion or glorify political leaders. This thread could turn in a controversial discussion. Kind regards Alex

Today I want to present another brave aviation man. This time the bavarian Uffz Thomas Schaller. * 20.10.1895 Regnitzlosau 05.01.1917 FEA 1b versetzt 30.01.1917 Beobachterschule 1 versetzt 26.02.1917 FEA 1b versetzt 01.03.1917 Schutzstaffel 29b Parkzug 10.03.1917 AFP A - Schutzstaffel 29b versetzt 06.09.1917 Verwundet im Luftkampf - Durchschuss rechte Hand und linke Schulter ins Lazarett 15.09.1917 AFP 4 versetzt 05.01.1918 Reserve Lazarett Lübeck 17.08.1918 FEA 1b versetzt 18.08.1918 bayer.

Taken after the award of the air gunnar badge. And the highlight is this portrait of him wearing the bavarian air gunnar badge. I never seen another picture of an Maybauer bavarian air gunnar in wear. Some of you may know this picture. Even he already was awarded the IC I, he doesn't wear the cross on this picture.

A couple of days ago I got this group of three pictures of Uffz Hans Kiefer. Nothing known about this brave guy. But the pictures himself tells the story. 1st picture shows Hans on 03.03.1918 sitting in the rear position on a Rumpler C I oder C Ia, possible during his air gunnar training. 2nd picture shows Hans (far right) on 02.06.1918 with his comrades. At this timepoint he wear the air gunnar badge but not the IC 1. 3rd picture is the highlight. Shows Hans with all his awards on 08.08.1918. He wear a one piece stamp version of the badge. Kind regards Alex
