    1. The OMSA convention in Portland, OR, was not only a must attend event in regards to finding medals, but convinced again with great seminars and super networking opportunities.
    2. Andreas@medalnet.net

    3. Can you post pictures of that 60 PK2?

    4. Started in 2008, but finally ready to be read: General Lieutenant Baron Franz Carl Friedrich Ernst von Klüx July 16, 1776 - July 9, 1858
    5. I received several questions in regards to the other items the seller wolongong has for sale. I have seen most of them personaly and can vouch not just for the pieces but also for the seller.
    6. Let me add this high resolution image, too. It i so important to be aware of how this has to look like:
    7. I am honestly not that into medals (more into decorations) but this one due to it's special status is quite a fun one! I have not seen many on medal bars either.
    8. Here is a rare one, Hohenzollern for XX years: Sorry for the bad quality. It's marked on the back by Wagner.
    9. Ok, ok, not quite the Pour le Merite, but in its time probably the highest bravery award that there was. The Military Honor Medal 1st class! A piece from before 1900 with the proper AW mark. I have a little write up on my web page: www.medalnet.net The piece itself is listed here: http://cgi.ebay.de/Orden-Militaer-Ehrenzeichen-1-Kl-Preussen-Ausgabe-1864_W0QQitemZ250605140639QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMilitaria?hash=item3a593afa9f Amazing:
    10. That's why it pays to attend medal collector societies meetings. The BDOS just had it's annual trade fair and meeting in Gunzenhausen and it's this years exhibitions was about the colonial commemorative medal. The lecture by Bernd Döbel was very conclusive in regards to this topic.
    11. The eagles seem not to have crowns, which a St.John's Ehrenritter would have to have. So it must be a PlM?!
    12. No, I don't really trust mail or normal courier service, its always best to wait if one can and have stuff hand delivered.
    13. Yes, my special courier brought it along for me I believe that there must be only a few. Nimmergut lists the 7 1st class recipients including 4 where the oak leaf cluster was promoted due to the recipient already having received the 2nd class with oak leaf cluster. Anyway, here the document:
    14. Ok, folks, here it is. It is the group of Dr. Bielfeld, Mayor of Arnstadt. He was also awarded the 1st class. Reverse shows as Rick already pointed out the GFC cypher:
    15. Scharffenberg states in his book, that the designs differ in the bars total width.
    16. Oops, almost forgot to give the resolution, hence the picture here again. this time with the reverse. It is the 1869 issued long service bar after the integration of the Infantry Regiment 93 into the Prussian Army system. The old awards could from then on only be awarded to Anhalt folks and not to foreigners. The new design, similar to the Prussian award was issued April 6, 1870. The long service awards were awarded only and had to be returned with the passing of the recipient. Manufactured by Sy & Wagner:
