Hi gentlemen ! The last one is a 1914-16 clasp for the Carola medal : The medal is a second type, in bronze. Please show yours !

Another from Saxony Cobourg and Gotha : Greetings !

Hi ! Thank you ! The last one received is this nice box for KO3 : The cross is made by Wagner. The Carl Edward medal is not to sell, sorry.

Does anyone have any idea about number of awards for this cross ? I think the number must be low, but I don't have found a number... Thank you !

Thank you ! Yes of course ! I think the Reuss War merit cross is one of the rarest merit cross... Yes, I needed a lot of time to understand the succession of all princes of Reuss...

Now, I can show you all the Reuss awards for WW1 : On this picture, you can see : - The war merit cross, boxed. - The 3rd class cross, with X, of the cross of honour order, also boxed. - The medal for devoted service in wartime. - EKII and silver medal with swords (cross of honour order) - Silver medal (peacetime) of the cross of honour order. Now, I have to search variations of the cross of honour order !

Hi gentlemen ! My last acquisiition is this nice Reuss War merit cross, boxed : The pin has been replaced, but this is a very nice award !

Hi ! An other example of this star on a FJ order (bronze made) :

My only one :

The same, with the mini :

Two little minis : greetings !

Hi ! Happy new year to all and thank you for all comments !

Always very impressive !

Hi gentlemen ! 2012 has been a nice year : lot of (nice) additions ! Here is a little assembly of all my purchases ! Please show too your novelty !

Some different maker have done the same box, like in this post : http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/16811-civil-version-of-the-signum-laudis/ But there is also other design box :

I also use cut out to have uniform colour on the background, or making arrangement... For example : 1/ the first picture (after framing) : 2/ After cut out and white background application : 3/ Then after doing same operation with the close box, I can gather the 2 pictures on a unique one : I have preserved the original hight resolution, so I can zoom in, and still have a good quality :

Thank you for comments ! No, I don't use any special equipment for photographs : a good camera (12 millions pixels), a white paper, and a natural light (and camera's flash). With these hight resolution pictures, I can rework pictures (framework mainly) with software...

Can you show it ?

Thank you ! Does someone know how many were awarded ? I don't have found any number...

Tank you ! Here are the 2012 novelties, with some interesting awards :

For red cross, I can add this nice medal, received recently : This is the Schaumburg Lippe military merit medal, with red cross insignia, founded in 1914.
