Medal ribbons are: Czechoslovak war cross 1918 - 19 – highest Czechoslovak decoration in WWI. Awarded for bravery in war for independent Czechoslovakia.Unknown decoration – probably Russian.Czechoslovak revolutionary medal – its commemorative / merit decoration awarded to military volunteers and members of home resistance.Czechoslovak medal for victory.

Hi, first buckle is from army parade uniform and was made before WWII. Black painting isn´t original. original surface of these buckles looks like polished brass. Buckles for field uniform were made from one piece of brass and black finished. Similar buckles were also used in the years 1945-1962, when were introduced buckles with star (#3). The lion on post war buckles have different tails - ends of tails on pre-war buckles are oriented upward, ends on post war buckles are little bigger and oriented forwards.

Yes, "CF" or "CP" (Carl Poellath, Schrobenhausen).

According to seller it should be packet for Hindenburg cross, but I am not sure.

Hi, could anyone help me with identication of this packet? The stamp is only marking. Regards Ladis

Hi, I am impatiently waiting for packets with new addictions to my collection ;)

This combination of awards could be German or Austrian (after Anschluss in 1938). Hindenburg cross could be awarded only to German citizens, including inhabitants of occupied Austria and Sudetenland.
