I`m in colonial love...

one more...

another baby...

Hi all, I start a new topic to share some of my colonial miniature chains with you, hope you enjoy and maybe some of you have some colonial minis as well to help a injured man feeling better... Heiko

Hi Stogie, no problem - it is one of my human rights to have bad luck, too.... I could need some more valium or morphine... but it is hard to write with one hand and takes along time... at the moment the arm is fixed and next week I will come under the knife.... Now I have a bit time to show some more things from my collection to all of you... I will start a new topic with some of my miniature chains - enjoy!!! Heiko

ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH?.. in hospital with a broken shoulder Next week they are going to get my arm repaired, at the moment I am sitting in the chair like a fixstar: no way to move and shining bright from all the drugs?. But back to topic?. The history of Austrian medals and awards is the big white gap in my knowledge ? it`s a shame, I know? I can`t help you with this Austrian medal problem but I can share some german colonial groups with Austrian medals on it if you like? It can take a while, I have to wait for the next possibility to move a bit , I hope in 2 hours the mega gagaland is gone and I can have some clear thinkings for a moment? Heiko

reverse...

Christophe, your order is too high for this little vet bar... I think here is the right one, cross from the W?rttemberg Vet`s organization - really nice Heiko

Rick, I could get some more information on the bar... the backing material is RED and without a maker. Someone in the family, maybe the son of the owner has been a priest or something like that and the bar comes originally from the area of munich (M?nchen)... that`s all I could get... Heiko

Hello all (especially the evil one...) maybe someone can help me with this beautifull but unfortunately a little bit wrecked medal bar... which RAO class is missing? what is the light-blue ribbon 4th from last (W?rttemberg or foreign..) ? what is the second ribbon from last? and of course... who was the owner??? thanks for all help, unfortunately this is the only photo I can offer at the moment... best wishes Heiko

We can all hope that there will not appear a third twin on the scene sometime... hhhmmmmmmm..... but if he ownes the missing rank lists of the other two evil ones - he will be very welcome Heiko (not too evil at all...)

Ehrenlegion...

Rick you crazy unbelievable guy...!!! I will try to reach him on the phone immediately thanks for information Heiko

it was not George Seymour`s I think, but it went at Thies, too... last auction

Bob, it went to auction some weeks ago by Andreas Thies in Germany... it was his 5th great auction in a line after the ones with the stuff from Ludvigsen and Seymore really great auctions... ($$$) Heiko

I have forgotten the reverse.... and thanks for all finish expert help so far

Right, it is the bar of Auti Altvater who was a minesweeper during ww1, now I am not a naval expert for ww1 and I do not know where in the northsea and eastsea the minefields were.... it is hard to get information about navy officers during ww1, maybe some navy experts have more facts about Altvater in ww1...

Hi all, here is my latest addition to my colonial cave... The finish medals are detailed in the finish thread but I want to show this beautiful double lined colonial clasp here... not very often seen!!!! I think some of you will know the owner or may find it out... some minutes of guessing for all others, enjoy!!! Heiko

just the bar with its shining enamel... more coments on this in other categories Heiko

and the complete bar for all these medals.... I think some of you will know the owner, some may find it out... some minutes of guessing enjoy Heiko

clasps detailed...

my love...

here are now my latest finish medals on a german bar, I will show the bar more detailed in another category bur here are some finish specials... does any finish member or expert know anything about the clasps on the medal, maybe privat purchased or even official???? Please help on this point. Heiko

yes, two different guys from two different places in germany, one in Berlin and one in the south-west but the same type of faked ribbon bars.... again I just can say hat it is unbelievable that this sh.. is sold for these high prices... Heiko

this fake is too bad, we all can be happy that the germania has not the "Schultz" stamped in the helmet...
