An excellent choice. The collections of the different states knights crosses, i've seen has been very impressive. But that sort of collection might get a bit pricey in the end. Or why not the states iron cross equivalent bravery awards as an start. Have a look at Dave Danners excellent site. The possibilities are thankfully almost endless. :cheers:

How come he was called "Tattar-Hugo"? (Tattare=derogatory name for gypsies) -

Case with St. Helena and bavarian commerative cross
Christian J replied to Christian J's topic in Napoleonic Wars
Only briefly researched it before putting down my bid. It's quite an enchanting item. Please share more if you are able to. If we can't have it, at least we can enjoy it's history. Is this print from du faur you were mentioning? -
Case with St. Helena and bavarian commerative cross
Christian J replied to Christian J's topic in Napoleonic Wars
I would say that his name were Michael Josef Fled. I already regret my bid at 421, but that is the name of the game, can't win them all. -
Thought that this had to be saved for posterity. Such a nice set for an veteran of the front in Tirol, the campaign against Russia and the march against his former employers. One of the 10 000 germans of the original 90 000 that surived the harsh winter and brutal conditions on the russian plains and were alive to be awarded the bavarian commerative in 1848 and the St Helena from Napoleon III in 1857. Would say that he atleast had reached his late sixties.
