This one is my favorite ! Exceptional condition ! Some beauty here ! 😍

Created in 1900. There is a lot of evolutions. The latest one dates from 2017. Previously, the silver medal was the lowest grade, awarded for 20 years of seniority. After 2017, a lower grade was created, the bronze medal, to reward 10 years of seniority. The ribbon changes on this occasion : it has 3 blue/white/red stripes instead of 4. Here, as an illustration, are some medals resulting from these reforms (mine in this case) from 2017 : Bronze for 10 years Silver for 20 years The French Firefighters Medal of Honor has the possibility of a higher grade for exceptional service, with a different ribbon. It is divided into three classes (silver, gilded and gold)... Example of a silver medal : 😀

Hi gentlemen ! Here is a more modest series, finally closed. It wasn't too difficult in itself, but I had to find the motivation to complete it. It’s done with the medal for one wound. Most of these pieces are made of war metal (one is marked W&A 1918 for Winter & Adler). The latest arrival, for one wound, is of superior manufacture, probably in silvered bronze, although not bearing a hallmark... details of the 5 other medals : 😍

Thank you for your answer !

Hi gentlemen ! I've seen this picture in a book, showing waldeck prince Frederick's bar. I can't find the name of the last medal of the bar. Can someone help me ? Thank you !

Mmmmh😍 Yes perhaps, or other orders more directly linked to WW1... To see, you can contact me by PM to discuss all this. The prices of course will be my biggest obstacle... 😀

As say here , it's never too late to show 2024 acquisitions ! Austro-Hungarian part : Some red cross medals : Kleindekoration of FJO : And at least but not least, Leopold Order, Knight cross with KD and X : 🥰

It's never too late ! So here is what I was able to find for this year 2024. In the end, few finds, but of good quality and some relatively rare things... Forward to 2025! Some Saxony duchy SEHO, with a 1st class knight cross with swords and a second class Knight cross with 1914-1917 vintage... Wurtemberg Friedrich Order Knight cross 1st class, with X Wurtemberg Olga Order : Prussian Crown Order 2nd class with X : That's all for the German part... As for the rest, these are Austro-Hungarian pieces... 🥰

Hi gentlemen ! It's difficult to be diligent on the forum lately, work leaves me little free time... Sorry. For a long time, I had this “1914” barrette, which I always thought was fake given the rarity of this type of barrette. (If, however, you have arguments for or against, you never know...). However, it presents well and I was looking for the 1870 model of the Hessian military health cross to combine the two... It is now done, with this pretty cross from 1870, accompanied by its typically Hessian case : Failing to find one of the rare original combinations of crosses from 1870 attributed with a bar from 1914, I can nevertheless illustrate this type of assembly... 😀

Hi ! Here his a recent received one : a boxed gold merit cross with crown (made by Wilh. Kunz, Wien) : With his little sister (without crown) : 🥰

Very nice ! According Jorg nimmergut, 42 awarded ROA4X in 1914-18 (7 for the kaiserlische marine). 😀

Hi ! Yes, combined EK + SEHO... 😍
