      Hi didn't know that, as for timeframe, looking at the style, I would say you're not far from the mark. Regards

      ???

      Unfortunately, collectors and dealers will now most probably take that as a benchmark, interesting future for those who collect ek's

      Just seen this, Geives the tailors of London are still in the military tailoring business, I'm sure they could give you a timeframe https://www.gievesandhawkes.com/pages/military Regards

      The last one I am tempted to say its the Turkish gold Liakat medal with modified suspender device, he did receive one and the size of 25mm would fit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liakat_Medal

      You could try these https://www.worcmedals.com/full-size-medals-and-emblems/rosettes-and-emblems Regards
    12. Alex K
      Yes, that would be most interesting, thanks

      So I'm assuming Hindenburgh received the silver grade based on the link you provided?
    14. Alex K
      Thank you, If memory serves me right, the last one is saxe-altenburg, I'll see if I can still find my notes, regards

      I've spent a long time trying to ascertain all his decorations, as far as his medal bar goes, the two he seems to have been photographed the most with are these two, I think I've got them correct, they are digital recreations, they might help, comments, if wrong are welcome regards Alex K

      Hi, nice looking pieces, suspension the same as mine it seems, regards
    17. Alex K
      Thoughly agreed
    18. Alex K
      Well, yes very annoying and pointlessly destructive, it is clear that their interest is in making as much money as is possible by auctioning/selling individually, not interested in collecting or history, very common I suspect, just like people who break up medal groups

      Very nice pieces, particularly the Godet., I've been on the lookout for ibne myself and seen the attached, would welcome an appraisal if possible, award piece or second piece, regards
    20. Alex K
      Very, very intricate detail and very nice, well done
    21. Alex K
      I have long argued with the assumption that these are repairs, true, like Chris has said, repairs were done like this, but from the examples I've shown, every "repair" is virtually identical, on identical pieces, my example is in mint condition, with case which I suspect it never left, why repair an unused medal?
    22. Alex K
      Very nice

      Hi thanks for the links interesting information, my 25 year award is the later type with the pebbled finish, I can see the confusion between the prussian and Hessian 15 year awards, I'll remember that Regards
    24. Alex K
      Ahh! it seems i need to do more research then, I have a 25 year cross, but that has the pebbled finish, what has "thrown me" is this (attached) which I know to be a smooth armed early piece by Hossaur, (Modern ribbon though) Thanks for the reply regards Alex
    25. Alex K
      Hi, could I request an appraisal on the attached, my interest lies in the fact that it's a smooth armed type, which would suggest early version, only pictures at the moment, thanks for any response
