This medal was ID'ed as a commorative medal of some sort. Does anyone know what type of ribbon was worn with it?

A couple of 1870 items... They cannot possibly belong to my great grandfather as he was not even born until 1888! Maybe they belonged to his father? I have no idea what this cross is. Perhaps it is some sort of commemorative medal?

His wound badges... Strange that his bio does not mention any wound badges yet he evidently had a silver grade!

Another EK2

Most of these items belonged to my great relative, Wilhelm Reck. There are some 1870 pieces that I believe are from earlier decentants. I dont really know anything else about them. The presentation of this little package perked my interested in my German ancestory... I have discovered a lot, but the more I discover, the more questions I have... Anyway, here are some of the items I was presented...

In all of my days, I have NEVER seen a set of swords on a livesaving medal. The medal is a beautiful piece! I hope that someone has some insight to share with the swords?! Paul

Thank you all so much. Regards Paul

And what is this one? It looks like a standard service medal. Can you tell for which state? Regards Paul

Hi! I am about to post some a relative's WW1 stuff. I have a couple of medals I have no clue of...please help. Regards Paul The first one is a very small miniture. The main pendant resembes an EK. The even smaller clasp has and 1870 on the lower arm. There used to be a thin back ribbon attached, yet it literaly disentigrated in my hands... I know for a fact that he was not around in 1870(born in 1888)... so I do not know why he has this medal.

Thanks Jim! I know that your's is more than impressive. Will you post some(or all) of it soon?? Warm regards Paul
