Some nice tinnies from the Perrysburg Show this past weekend.

The cross is magnetic while the ribbon eagle is non-ferrous.  A rather nice example IMO.

Hello to all, 

This seven-placer was bought at the ASMIC Show this past weekend.  I am not a big fan of Austro-Hungarian medals per se, but I really like this bar because of the presence of the Luftschutz Decoration Second Class.

Hello to all, 

This single -placer is from the ASMIC Show this past weekend.  It is a three-piece, zinc example.  I was intrigued by this one because both the obverse and reverse medallions have retained a beautiful golden-bronze finish while the cross itself is mostly grayed out.  All I can figure is that the medallions must have been struck from a finer-quality zinc alloy than the cross itself.

Hi Michael,

Although some of their badges were maker marked, most of the Auxiliary Cruiser Badges by Junker were unmarked.

Hello,

Looks to me like a good Auxiliary Cruiser Badge by C.E. Juncker, Berlin.

Hi guys,

This bar is from the OVMS Show last weekend.  The Romanian Order of the Star is worn on the ribbon of the Order of Military Virtue indicating a wartime award for actions on the battlefield.  The bar is in pristine condition and most likely to a young Leutnant.  Hope you like it!

Best regards,

Tom

Hello Komtur and Dave,

You guys are the best.🥇  Thank you so very much for taking the time and effort in researching this unique medal bar.  I really appreciate all the help you have given me with this mystery.  If the list of recipients shown in the publication by Daniel is entirely complete, you would think that the medal bar would have to belong to one of the sixteen.  But it now appears that all sixteen can be excluded because they either had other decorations not on the medal bar or they lack a decoration that is on the medal bar.  Perhaps a few recipients have slipped through the cracks and do not appear on the listing?  Or could there possibly be a different von Roeder?  It’s actually a common name.  It is too bad that the first name is not listed nor the birth and death dates.  Perhaps it is also possible that this medal bar is a made up concoction and belongs to no real person?  Looking at the bar, though, (examining the orders, decorations, ribbons, and construction) I find this last possibility a bit hard to believe.
 

Thanks again and best regards,

Tom

My thanks to all for the comments.👍

Tom

Senior Military Officials had to wear the Crown Order on the white ribbon with black stripes when awarded in wartime for bravery (with swords) or for performance of duties not in the line of fire (without swords). In addition to the usual blue ribbon, the Prussian Order of the Crown could also be worn with the  black ribbon with white stripes (Iron Cross ribbon), an Iron Cross ribbon with an additional white stripe down the center field, or even with the ribbon of the Prussian Cross for War Aid (when the order bears the Geneva Cross).

Hello to all,

Hello guys,

I really like the patina on this Luftwaffe Flak Badge.

Hi guys,

Bought this zinc Juncker Flak Badge last weekend.  It has quite a bit of wear as well as a repaired catch, but I like it all the same.

Hello guys,

Haven't posted on here in quite some time, but figured I would show this 10-place medal bar that I bought a few months ago:  It is to a WW1 veteran and career policeman during the third empire.  Hope you like it!

Best regards,

Tom
