Thanks Justin!
Earlier than 2000 I was too young and could only afford a few common awards like EKs … so when I started collecting Blood orders the prices were already quite high … I have done some research to identify the recipients with some interesting results. Once the archives open again I should get more information
Here for example a cased Blood order #2909 that the previous owner purchased directly from the recipient, Franz Hansmann, 52 years ago in Munich. He was SS Untersturmführer and active in the KL Auschwitz. Was also recipient of the GPB and TK ring.
