Hi all, i would like ask for assistance on the above individual, hes always been a bit of a mystery, however it would now seem that his demise seems has been confirmed as april 1945, and his remains interred in a jewish cemetery of all places. My query is the ribbon bars shown on tge attached image. The top row are quite easy as they are fairly standard imperial/tr awards, the bottom row are the ones in question as they appear to be non-german. The only one i can recognise is the 2nd one, which to me looks like the Italian order of the Crown. Any experts abke to advise on the remaining visible ones? Any help appreciated, sorry for the limited quality images. Regards Alex k

It seems that the mud slinging has started already! https://www-dailymail-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/article-12003257/amp/Row-bid-limit-Coronation-medals-King-Charles-furious-miss-out.html?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQGsAEggAID#aoh=16822542988149&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fnews%2Froyals%2Farticle-12003257%2FRow-bid-limit-Coronation-medals-King-Charles-furious-miss-out.html

Hi, I could be completely wrong but it reminds me very much of the attached, 10 pin bowling trophy, a very popular activity in Germany in the 1st part of the 20th century I understand

Walther Darre'

Just for fun,my ERII, cap, I assume a dress version

Very nice pair, looking for something similar myself 👍

Thanks for the confirmation of awards

Can I ask, as a novice, exactly which bit is "weird" or am I missing something?

Thankyou all for your inputs, I think I've got my head around it now Regards

Hi, thanks, i thought about that option, but i would have thought a greater contrast in the "greyscale" would be noticed, perhaps i,'m wrong, that being said i would expect a naval general service medal to be in the line-up, I appreciate your input Regards Edit, you know, looking at it again, the africa general service medal has 2 green stripes in the centre, perhaps the green and the yellow background merge to a significant degree, and look uniform, you may well be right, i missed the blindingly obvious i think, thanks

Hi all, got a bit of a question concerning the attached medal bar image, the unknown item is arrowed. The admiral is Sir John Warre Slade, medals left to right are, George v coronation, Egypt, ?? Africa General service medal (edvii/gv), Khedive star. Unknown medal, Edward vii, coinage facing left, clasp thin type ribbon, central stripe, two thinner edge stripes, I can't seem to find that combination, ribbon, 2 types match, the 1st Afghanistan, but qv coinage, wider clasp, or natal 1906, but wider clasp, and edvii but coinage facing right, nothing else matches or am I missing the ridiculously obvious??

Thanks

Hi, just to update, finally found a type 1, officer with swords, quite diffuicukt to find, (in the uk), comes with the original case, which i admit, has seen better days, sesrch fir Knights version now 🤔

Just for info, it also came with king George v coinage on the obverse

If the colours are blue and green, then yes india general service medal 1908

It must have been a very unpleasant experience, for myself, its justification in my decision to avoid ever having an account, or even going on that awful place, glad for you that something has been resolved

Sounds a bit more reasonable, ( that being said, i only paid 180 gbp for my wagner some years sgo, maybe im out of date😲)

Almost certainly this one, also around the neck, signifying grand master of the johanniter order

One shouldnt forget ofcourse that the british royal family came from german ancestry, (saxe-coburg-gotha) and in the earlier days festooned themselves in many german orders, so german made stuff was nothing new to them😏

👍 Thanks larry, it appreciated Regards

Just a quick random choice

Hi larry love the colours in the last 2👍
