I?ve just searching for a Good imperial EKI,because I have none still... The big numbers of forgeries in the market made me very uneasy with this beauties... Do you think this could be OK?? Thanks beforehand miguel

Think you that some diplomatic action will be taken by the russian gov. officials????, to forbid to sell this portion of the glorious history of the motherland...????? Miguel

With the dark photo the ribbon is the cue. Of course you has reason: but see as I ?ve say before... Anyway the seniority medal for service to the polish republic was a pre-communist award, restaured in 1998, I think... regards Miguel

Col. Akulov has a War Cross, Czech, WW2, a Polish Virtuti Militari Cross, 3th class (seems silvered), and a Polish LS&GC medal (10-or 20 years service, don?t see if gold or silver), strange to a russian... Nice combination. Great photo Miguel

e I have one that is exactly lake yours. I bough my medal 10 years ago...and I think that, then, there are plenty of they and one don?t be worried about fakes...Somewhat candid??, perhaps but The medal and the Kolodka (suspension pentagon) seems Ok for me (Not an expert). Regards and Greetings Miguel PS/ By the way, I?ve stay for a days at Budapest. I?ve stay near Mathias Church...Splendid View of the Great Danube and the parlament buildings. Great and Royal City, with still many scares on their buildings to show their last 100 years of turbulent history. I like she very much ( I?ve bought a USSR Slava 2nd class at a little shop in Pest). I?m deligted eating excellent goulash and too caviar at a russian restaurant called: "Arany caviar", very near the old town of Buda... (I think I have not mistaken Both Cities). Greetins again Miguel

That?s the thing that not "seems correct"...a certain Void... Thanks I?ll stay away... Miguel

Viewed at eBay. No possibility to optimized the pics. With these images, some of you can give me a opinion Thanks Miguel

Ach so!!. (vgr:The others guys received the corespondent german award...) regards miguel PS/ By the way: I have a Finn Bar you can see in the forum?s Albums...that the seller attibutted to a Cavalry Lt. Col. that had one 3th class and two 4 th classes...

I?m trying to contest you point after point. 1/ Well, you know, for many Spanish people the lost of cuba and Philippiones was a sort of relieve. The last colonies are supported as a matter of national pride and was very expensive in human, political and monetary terms... And as you know the span of time the reward can be give make probable that it could be give ten years later when the things aren?t so "hot", or better they are absolutely normalized... 2/ I was nor saying that "Marina americana" is a type of slang ( that?s could be "Marina yanqui" = Yankee Marine). I was saying that the normal people (of good breeding too) speak Normally of Marina Americana (as US Navy), and everybody understand this. In no way could be considered Jargon. (Nor dismisive) 3/ As I can elucubrate we must consider that the official concession of the award...(that is the paperwork), surely deals with the appropiate wording of "Capitan de la Marina de los Estados Unidos de America", but the box and the Star in it could be a present of friends as a token of friendliness (they can bought the cross in a Jeweler, with better quaility instead of Give the Offcial award )...So they ask for a more "normalized" (not so protocolary/red tape) writing on the lid box As I have not see the piece, I don?t know if their quality support my appreciations... I?ll repeat the all this is only some elucubrations on the matter. Happy if I could be of some help Regards Miguel PS/ Sorry for my self-learned english

Well, I would see this Aladin Cove... I must to snap some hours before go to work early in the morning...It?s 1:20 AM local hour... Thanks again Have a nice day Miguel

thanks. I was aware thet you and other as you can identified the grade of the recipient only for the awards...I think that for NCO/OR can be easier, but what the devil knows if he is a leutnant or a Capitain??? Thanks Miguel

Thanks for the lecture. After the anschluss the MMC austrian was considered "german" and is posted before all the others, as Bravery, only after the EKII It it was before the anschluss the medal was considered "foreign", and posted after all the "german" awards...I understand correctly?? thanks Miguel PS/ By the way, If we don?t see more, any bar dressed as you say---the number will be much, much reduced...

What?s the place the Austrian cross must be...?? and whay do you think of the wurtemberg cross?? Thanks Miguel

What do you think??.I s a very nice bar, but... can be a frankenstein Bar?. Thanks miguel

This bar is in my Horizon. What Do you think about?. It?s a Real (authentic) Bar? The rev of the wurtenmberg order are damaged (missing a part of the "F", I think...). thanks miguel

This mean exactly this: United states American Navy must be directly translated as: Marina de los estados unidos, but in habitual talking "Marina Americana", that in they exactly translation is.: "American navy", represent the same thing. More in these Times, after the Spanish naval forces defeat at Cuba and Philippines; the American navy became a Great Power and for extension any mention to an Navy in the American Continent only can refer to the US Navy...so the wide appelative: "American navy" or Marina Americana. The use of the treatament "Mr." is characteristical of the epoch. They never mind to name an American (officially) Sr or "se?or?, but Mister. (of Course!) Happy to be of some help. Please if some concept are unclear, please drop me a line and I?ll be keen to made it understatable for you. Regards Miguel

Thanks, very instructive...Europe, Europe!! Miguel

I was meaning that the name could be and English name (not german so it explained the Mister (Mr.). "Au lieu" de Herr (Hr.) Greetings Miguel

In correct spanish this transaltion can be write. Al Capitan de Cobeta de la marina Alemana, Mr??(Why, if he is german), M. Sachs (Could be English? Marina Americana: - M. A.-) That only for thinking about. Miguel

So, he was a german national?, thename don?t sound as germans, Polish, tchec or so... Thanks. Always is strange to find that in the middle of the war life continues with their little trappings... Thanks for the translation Miguel

Hello!!. I?ve find this doc. in Krakow Any hints on the matter thanks Miguel

Hello!- Sirs a 2400 PPi I would like to know who is the hersteller of this Imperial EK2 THANKS MIGUEL
