Nice example, here is his brother, in real gold.
-
'Advanced collector' eh? I wonder who that could be? Anyway, these are really impressive pieces, and show that we don't know everything about this subject. Is there a name on the Langensalza Medal?
-
Quite the hoard, of course all this material, along with the possessions and real estate of the Sudeten Germans was actually stolen by the Czechs and Benes post-1945, and let's not forget one of the worst examples of ethnic cleansing in modern history.
-
Interesting, but sadly has nothing to do with Imperial Germany.
-
I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see more photos of that piece.
-
Many thanks Sandro, that's a great write-up.
-
Apparently this unit was commanded by a Generallietenant Ochs, but biographical info is lacking. Can anyone add anything about this guy?
-
Yes, and thank you. I've been quite interested in the career of Kunth, a botanist and one-time roommate in Paris in 1815 of Alexander von Humboldt. My family connection to the Humboldt family runs even deeper, as my great-great-great grandfather, Gottlob Johann Christian Kunth, was the Erzieher of the brothers Humboldt, was the uncle of Carl and is today memorialised by a monument at Schloss Tegel in Berlin.

I don't like that one either. And I have little confidence in the 'expertise' of dealers.
-
I've posted this on other sites, nothing spectacular but it shows that a guy could fight the entire war and not receive the EK1.
-
I agree, for an actual VU for the RAO4 with this notification included, you should be paying around that. If you are interested in Imperial awards docs, drop me a line.
-
Again, a 'good from ten feet' copy which I would value at 25.00.
-
If real, that would be a bargain.
-
Yes, they are pretty paranoid about the disposition of the current PLM insignia. I am still trying to secure the remaining items from my uncle, including the Grosses Bundesverdienstkreuz and the French Legion of Honour.
-
As stated above, not an award document, but a notification of award from the orders chancellery.
