Material from Baden is nice to collect, and another rabbit hole easy to go down.
-
I posted this item on a couple other sites, and thought there might be some interest here. This is one of two jackets which belonged to Leutnant Robert Strey of Jasta 2. It is a standard Kraftfahrt issue with upgraded Prussian officer's buttons and a beaver skin collar.
-
I agree, these regimental medals are underappreciated and interesting to collect.
-
Fantastic Feldschnalle, paging David!
-
Read the thread, I stated that at the beginning.....
-
I think we've already had a thread about these, and what a complex subject they represent.
-
That's a weird one, on the generic ribbon for Luitpold medals.
-
Very cool, I really like these old catalogues.
-
Certainly looks like either a house order of Schaumburg or an honour cross of Detmold, going to be pretty difficult to guess without some written cross-referencing.
-
Nice NCO's bar with the typical LS ribbon backing you see often on Bavarian bars.
-
Often the closure tabs on the back of this type of bar can show evidence of having been opened and then bent shut again.
-
Have a close look at the tabs on the back to look for evidence of tampering.
-
Nice one, looks like the Altenburg bravery medal is a silvered zink example.
-
Looks like a heavily worn award type, awarded for the war against Austria.

Unusual / Unique Medal Groups

Wow, you don't often see the CD mounted with an EK2! -
Those ribbons look awfully minty, or is it my imagination?
-
Looks good to me, and yes, there are plenty of fakes around.
-
Interesting, not common to find one in this size. Very good find.
-
Hmm, those both do look good. I didn't see these on fleabay, what sort of prices did they realise?
-
Very nice, I also collect Damenschleifen. What is the diameter of the medal?
-
Awaloff Cross Second Class?

It looks like one of the countless fakes showing up on fleabay these days. -
Very nice with the Saxon-style ribbon.
-
An odd bar
VtwinVince replied to Wyomingguy's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
It was not uncommon in the interwar period for veterans to have private, unofficial bars produced. -
I'm not keen on the construction of this bar, or the Gefechtsspangen.
-
I agree, an image of the back and close-ups of the clasps on the colonial medal would help.
