Nice little trio you got there Matt! The gold and silver grades have always eluded me, then again I think I have always been way too picky about how good of condition they had to be in.

Great stuff, hope your research reveals more on Jassner and that you are also able to locate some of his original grouping.

Thanks for the background info on that plate, Erich.

would love to see the certificate Adlerhorst

For interest sakes, anyone come across one of these plates before? "Erich Probst, Mit Hitler in Coburg" / Maker : "Hutschenreuther Selb Bavaria Germany" http://www.auktionshaus-loesch.de/loeschweb_116/sites_116/auktionen_116/militaria_49/auktion49_varia2.html

Nice stuff Bryan.

Sorry no idea what that award is, no doubt someone reading this can hep us ID it.

Here's a trip to the Kota Tinggi museum I did at the end of last year. Usually museums out in this part of the world can be a bit hit and miss, but in this case they have done a pretty good job. The best part for me was on the 1st floor, it was a little section covering the rulers and officials of Johor state, with all kinds of awards and artifacts on display. Again this museum had a no photography policy so excuse the bad pics. Not sure, but this could have been a Dato'ship award document? Close up of above. Close up of above The first ever Chief minister of Johore and

great stuff Hugh! I wonder if there are any major Malaysian based mints?

Fantastic collection Hugh! We definitely need some close ups! :D

Keep us posted when these books come out. Ps sorry for no pics of mine showing up anymore on this post, my old webspace got trashed, will have to sort out new space and get the pics back up.

Thanks James :-)

Thanks for that Carol. Can anyone see any other errors?

Thanks for the comments guys. Those were the only decorations they had on display today. This was the only decoration I did see with major enamel problems. They had other fantastic items in the other sections of the palace, daggers, samurai swords, stuffed tigers, but there were too many museum staff around to risk a pic and possible erasure of my memory stick.
