It`s not  a healthy bug  to  get  bitten  by, believe me

Great  collection Jerry. I love  these medals.  I  got bitten  by  the  bug  years  ago.

Jim

I  picked  this one up  recently. beautifully framed.  I have no idea of  the  year  of  the medal and won`t be  taking  the  back off  to  find  out.

Very nice Mark

Jim

Jerry, I  think it is  worth  getting one  for  completion of  a  collection purposes.

I am familiar with the London version as having no date- have one in my collection. But the one I am referring to is totally plain, flat. See listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/142221603043?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

These  medals  are  called  "uniface". I  once  collected  all  CdG and had  one of  these in  my  collection.  i  was informed  by  a very knowledgeable  French  collector  that  these medals  were purely  for  displaying in  frames  and  were  thought not to  be official.

Congratulations,  great  piece

Jim

A  beautiful  medal  indeed.  I  bought  a  Waterloo  and MGS medal  earlier in  the year. The history  behind  these medals  and  the men is  fascinating.

Congratulations  on  a  great acquisition

Odulf,

Those  are beautiful  citations.

I just  picked  up  this  group of  citations  with  a  1915 medal.

It  used  to  be  a  Long  Service  Good  Conduct Medal  when  I  got mine.  It  always  confused me  because  i  was  always  in  the mire  for  something over my  30  years and  was  surprised  to  receive  mine. I  did  ask  for it  to  be delivered  through the internal  post  I  hasten  to  add 

Jim

This has just  arrived in my  collection. Hope  you like it,  marked  938 W

Can  I  have opinions on  this one please.  I  have had this in my  collection  for  a little  while.

Thanks

Jim

Jim

Another  arrival

Another fine  addition to  your  collection. Congratulations.  Sad  about the  glass but its happened  to  me on  a  couple of occasions  too.

Congratulations on  picking  up  a beautiful  piece. A  fantastic addition  to  your collection

Jim

Claudius,

The  writing on the back  is  the company  that  produced  the  bar  as it  is. It is  difficult  to  read  but I  think it  reads J Bach  and Sohn,  Koblenz in  the print

2 more. The  first was  KIA at  Mort Homme in  1916

Another  diploma  in  is  packaging

Not  CdG  be interesting
