    1. Hi Claudio, I really appreciate you sharing this article. This would be super helpful! I am shocked and regretful for not finding and reading this article myself before. I think it is comprehensive and detailed enough. I will read it carefully and see if there are any mistakes in my chart that can be corrected. Thanks, Tommy
    2. Thanks, I'm glad it's helpful. Actually I had uploaded this chart on the Facebook group a few months before and Claudio liked it, so I believe he had seen it.
    3. Hi guys, I want to share a chart I made about the different labels of Godet medalbars. It includes a simple timeline and descriptions. This chart should be read in conjunction with the short article I wrote. However, it is in Chinese and just a collection of some scattered information on the different forums and some of my own thoughts, so I will only post this chart here for everyone's reference. If you have any corrections, comments, or suggestions on this chart, please reply. I would like to know any information that can improve fellow collectors' and my understanding of Godet, since it is a huge and complex subject. By the way, I will be happy to update this chart if the information is corrected or new information comes out. Another question I have here is about Mr. "Rick" Lundstrom. I just learned about his contribution to the collection and research on kaiserscross.com and I am so sorry and saddened by his passing. I just started my collection a few years ago so I didn't know about his achievements until I started browsing this forum. I noticed that he posted a lot of comprehensive articles and opinions on medallion and ribbon bar on this forum when he was alive, but I don't know if it's because of the forum update and revision that I can't find his articles now. Now I can only read the historical posts page by page to slowly capture his knowledge. If anyone knows how to view his articles as a whole, please let me know. Thanks! Tommy
    4. I even thought you went to a museum but looking at the photos it was even better than the museum.😵 Please let us know when this gentleman opens one. Could you please also post more medalbars if you have taken pictures of them?
    5. Appreciate your sharing, these two pics indeed contribute more info about him. Do you mind if I share the photo on another forum so others can also look for some information? Thank you for providing more info!
    6. Thanks,for myself I probably will not consider to touch it since you need to tear the whole bar down for replacing a award. Though this one could be little easier,still will damage other threads and cloth. I hope I could get the better pics for the awards papers too,but you need to pay for it if you want better quality. My friend told me that these are probably from Hermann. They would sell the right of use of their auctions’ photos to make extra $. That’s also why you cant find their archives of previous auctions.
    7. Thanks for answering. The light was bad and my phone camera processed too much. Probably that’s the reason why enamel looks so awful😂. Sadly,I don’t have another pic of them right now. Enamels are basicly the same if you actually look at them.
    8. Hi guys, Recently got this medalbar without the owner's info. With the help of Mr. Moritz and Mr. Daniel Krause, the potential owner of this bar could be Hauptmann/Captain Ernst Nordmann from the IR 112, later spotter and leader of the Fliegerabteilung 234, retiring as a Major. I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to these two gentlemen for helping me find this name and other info. Sadly, the Zähringer VK on his bar is wrong and there should be the knights cross second class on it. No idea how this happened, please provide any opinions you have. About Hauptmann/Captain Ernst Nordmann, we were only able to find a few websites containing his name and unit but not personal photos: http://www.frontflieger.de/2-faa234.html https://www.buddecke.de/afa234.htm Luckily, we found 4 pics from Alamy that have his full awards certificates and EK1. But the resolution is poor and the source is unknown, probably from previous Hermann's auction? https://www.alamy.com/captain-ernst-nordmann-leader-o-20th-century-editorial-use-only-image245917539.html Moritz also found that he took part in a book „Jungdeutschlands Fliegerbuch“. Here is the all info we have now. Please make comments or provide your opinions if you have any new findings or thoughts on this medalbar. Thanks.
