Hi !

Thank you for all comments ! I need now to buy some supports for all the pinback awards...

Pinpon. How long has it taken you to amass this hoard of goodies?

About 10-11 years... Around 150 german imperial WW1 items... (and around 40 austro-hungarian items...)

And finally, 5th stage : Anhalt, Schwarzburg (Sondershausen and Rudolstadt), Reuss (Greiz and Gera), Lippe Deltmold, Schaumburg Lippe, Hamburg, Lübeck and Bremen...

:love:

4th stage : Mecklemburg-Schwerin, Oldenburg, Brunswick, Saxony-Weimar, Saxony Meiningen, Saxony Coburg-Gotha, Saxony Altenbourg et Waldeck-Pyrmont...

Third : Wurtemberg, Baden, Hessen & Mecklemburg Strelitz...

Second stage : Bavaria and Saxony (Kingdom)

First floor is for Prussia :

Hi !

Here is my new display :



Unfortunately I don't have enough space to present my austro-hungarian collection...

In case anyone is still interested, there were 64 awards. 25 nominations were turned down (abgelehnt), and 39 others were pending (unerledigt) when the Duke abdicated. No awards were made after that point. I have seen a letter from a Krankenpflegerin returning home at the end of 1918 who spent the entire war at or near the front and asked if she might be considered for an award, as she had nothing to show for her service. The reply in January 1919 was basically "sorry, too late".

Regards

Hi !

The 2 sisters are now together !

A nice and relatively scarce award. I have one in the case.

Can you show it here ?

And I'm sure that some other members have on their collection some example of this nice medal ! Please gentlemen, show them !

There is 865 Carola Medals in Bronze for the first photo.

About the second Carola Medal in silver 1st model, only 927 medals were awarded.

Hi thank you for all comments and informations !

It must have quite a lot (proportionally speaking) of HP3bKrX awarded during WW1 I think ?

Hi !

It come from an old (40 years ago) auction...

Here are close up of of the stamp (?) :

Reverse :

2 marks...

On the obverse :

It seems it comes originally from Germany, but I will ask the dealer... Maybe french guarantee stamp ? But it doesn't look like any french stamp I have ever seen...

It seems to be the same mark on the crown ring :

Hi !

Thank you !

It seems to have 2 hallmarks on the ring (on the top of the crown), but they're illegilble...
