It seems that the mud slinging has started already!

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

To my eyes, the medal in the middle looks like the Natal Rebellion Medal with an attached 1906 Bar given to military personnel who participated in crushing the Zulu uprising.  Natal is on the coast of South Africa so I'm sure there was a fair amount of British naval support for and involvement in this special operation.

 

 

 

Yes that was an option i considered, hiwever yhe cojnage on tge image shows EdwardVII facing to the left, whilst the Natal obverse coinage shoes him facing yo the right, so i discounted that option

Interesting filter, i like it, it seems to show as i mentioned, the green and yellow of the ags, have the same tone on  greyscale, well done

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??

Nice piece, congrats!

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

India General Service Medal ?

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

That is a crazy number. I would value this set at no more than 700. euro

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

Thanks. It looks like kind George V, but why German silver mark 800?

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👍

Hi Larry, nice clear and spot on colourisation as usual, youve spurred me on to have a rummage in my archives and post a couple or so?

Regards
