Thank you ! I this cross !

WOW ! Very nice, first time I see a first class insignia. What is the size of the 1st class ? :beer:

And more pictures (from http://www.medailles1914-1918.fr/) :cheers:

Here is mine, with his "FLANDERNSCHLACHT" clasp. :cheers:

I think ARRAS, FLANDERN and VERDUN are for the Kyffhauserbund medal, and not for one else... I've started a new post for The Kyff. Medal Bandspangen ! :cheers:

Hello ! I want to try to do a list of Kyffhauser medal bandspangen. For me, 78 officials : AISNE CHAMPAGNE ANCRE ANTWERPEN-OSTENDE ARGONNEN ARMENTI?RES ARRAS-ALBERT ARRAS AVRE BREST-LITOWSKS CAMBRAI CHAMPAGNE DINANT DOGGERBANK D?NA F?RE CHAMPENOISE FINNLAND FLANDERN FLANDERN u.

This cross seems to be a mix between S.Meiningen Honor cross and S. Meiningen Honor medal... I think it will be interresting having some close up of the upper arm crown... :cheers:

Yes, like end 1st Empire Legion of Honor, or first Restoration... Here a Knight cross of first Restoration, for example.

Well seen ! I was so center on the top crown, that I don't have seen the upper arm crown... :cheers:

It's the best pictures I can do of hallmarks. :cheers:

The crown...

Yes, you're right, the size of the crown is unusual... I have done a little photomontage with mine in order to compare :

:jumping: Nice non combatant group ! The Saxe-Weimar cross is not common ! :cheers:

And an other 4th class cross : :cheers:

Why not a "Signum Laudis" medal ? For the 2nd and 3rd medal, impossible to tell... :cheers:

Ulsterman, you have granted Rick's wishes ! :beer:

Thank you ! I never search the meanings of Austrian stamps, I think I will do it fast. My own father is also an order's collector , and possess the 4th class, in bronze. I will post pictures as soon as possible, in order to complete the file... Maybe this post will help to get one !!! I hope so !

And reverse. A nice stamp "A.E.K?CHERT" on the back. And other stamps, I don't know the meaning of them...

And a 3rd class cross.

Reverse... Any idea for the meaning of the stamp ?

Two nice crosses I've found recently : A 2nd class cross, silver gilt, 44mm.

Thank you all ! :cheers:

It's the big issue of the medal. It's not the first time I see this mark : A friend's large gold merit medal has the same mark : his medal is a golded one... :cheers:
