Hello !

Brunswick war merit cross for women, OEK 636 ("Kriegs-verdienstkreuz f?r Frauen und Jungfrauen"). You don't have the good ribbon.

Created 1917 september, 13th.

I don't know how were awarded... Not a lot of I think, because the cross has been created only 1 year before end of war...

Here, with the right ribbon :

Thanks, PinPon, Great...Merci Beaucoup

Some help in identification and frequency, please.

While sorting through a ziplock with about 10 tinnies and other assorted Imperial & European pins in it ...I found these Oaks. They do have nice detail but ..I can't lock them in.

I was thinking along the lines of Imperial ...what's interesting is I posted these and Bob Hritz posted a matching set that he bought with a group of Imperial Awards.

Have any of you seen this style before ?

Dont forget the Z?hringen Lion order with oaks...

Miguel

Gentlemen,

just some short words because my street style english is not good enough to tell what I want to tell - I don`t know enough bad words!!!

all of you are working every day on saving history, restoring groups, collecting data and information - a worldwide military collecting network against the time in order to keep a long gone time living!!!! And then there are people like this........................

Some days ago I sold the medal bar and buttonhole mini of Zeug-Major a.D. Fuhr on ebay.de , that`s what it looked like some days ago in my house....

When I see the emasculated bar I was thinking I?ve it seen before...It?s a shame...but you can not control the things when they go out of your reach or control. So, bit the teeth and...

Sorry again

Miguel

I think the ribbon is the right one for the Anhalt Kriegervereinscross , the Emaille cross .....

has you any pic??

Thanks

Miguel

Shabby and ragged spange. What do you think about the second place...

It seems a general service to the state ??, but the backing is odd...

regards

Miguel

Once upon a time..... I gathered some experience with Saxony & cases for their awards....

Thanks Stogieman, I was puzzled with the possibility thet they could exist a FAM wit swords on the ring, or so...Thanks again, of course I?ve see this in a auction of only Boxes...

MUCH rarer, as those of you who have bought the awards rolls books will know.

BTW, I am still "tweaking" absolutely PRECISE numbers of lovely chocolate bronze versus decent gray zink by groups whose recipients can be identified and matched to the rolls. So far the first verified zinky recipient was Oberstleutnant Georg Schmidt, commander of Inf Rgt 82, on 9 July 1917.

That?s great. Thanks for your work...

Miguel

The Last entry

Some help, Please:

I find this docs in a travel to Krakow, Poland. All are of the same person and includesa prewar Weimar Reise-karte, The guy Work in a Photograph firm of Hamburg...Been Born in 1903..., and in January 1941, He starts in a "Segelfliegersch?le" the last entry was in june 1941. After this I have a Ciclo permit (F?hrrades) bilingual with English...(I don?t Know where is the Town of Herne), the inmmediate postwar...sept., 19, 1945. What?sthe history of this guy...?He goes to a "Segelfliegerschule), but to not avail after this...No luftwaffe papers..., so he rest civil?? or goes to the whermacht as normal landser??, but he has already 36 at 1939...Too old to fight??.

All comment are wellcome.

Miguel

PS/ If you wants close up, I can email you higher resolution images.

Hi Miguel, I think the bar is "home-made" by a frugal veteran. The fakers usually do not do such sloppy work.

Thanks...That?s another reason to think about...

Regards

Miguel

This bar has a Nice combination...but the mounting style is rather shabby, more when you consider the rev...? What do you think??

Thanks

Miguel

Richard,

Glad that you liked the book! I wanted to give a heads-up to U-Boat collectors who might be interested. I was not aware that this had been published until my friend brought me a copy back from Germany.

All The Best,

Erik

I can?t find it at VDM internet bookshop...Can you send me a direct link??

Thanks

Miguel

There was great confusion in 1938 and later about what was allowed and what was not. The VERY "Nazi" looking Austrian WW1 Commemorative Medal was often mistakenly left off, because it was incorrectly assumed to have been banned. It was not.

Thanks. Go to bed, Have a Nice day...

Miguel

Thanks Rick, I was thinking the same on the Hesse medal and...what with the non existent Austrian Commemorative WWI medal, but the Bulgarian and the tirol medal??? Have you any reason for this oddity (another)

Thanks again...I must learn to refrain me to bid in this very Heavy (and odd!!!) austrian bars...

Miguel
