Dear all, it recently dawned on me that one of my ribbon bars looks to have the Hamburg lifesaving medal. Does any rolls and/or any identifiable information exist about the Hamburg lifesaving medal? Best. Peter

Latest from Ebay from the past few weeks. After about 1,5 years and posting around 2K items, I'm winding my operation down. There are more and more items of the same type and filtering and filing takes more time. Also on a personal note, I do not have the energy anymore to keep this going on. I might post the odd item from now on, but not in the amount I used to. Best. Peter

Nice one, is that a Red Cross or Volkspflege award at the end?
I believe it's a Volkspflege, likely as an indication for the 2nd grade. Best. Peter

Hi all, this set came in this week. Because of the moth nips on the back these are not immaculate, but still very nice

The ribbon bar and the medal bar do NOT belong to the same guy.
The ribbon bar belongs to Korvettenkapitän Edmund Wachtel.
Best,
Daniel
Daniel, I had hoped you would react, thanks for taking the time and coming up with the proper name.

Dear all, this ribbon bar came in today. This one got my interest since it bears a resemblance with a medal bar I'd seen before, see the other photo.
The photo with the medal bar is from the website of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde e.V. (link). Apparently the photo was taken at an exhibition titled „Die Südwestafrika-Denkmünze 1907 und deren Gefechtsspangen“. The setup of the ribbon bar and medal bar look similar, the Marinekorps cross and the Austrian MVK could be from after the ribbon bar was made.
Could this be the same guy? And if so, does someone happen to know the name or have a better picture from the exhibition?
Best, Peter

Dear all, I pulled out all the boxes today and made an overview of the Hohenzollern bars that as far as I know either have not been shown before or a very long time ago. Would love to hear if there are any possibilities for identification. Best. Peter

Dear all,
Here's the latest from Ebay. only one item this time, all the photos from the other items have been posted here before - the seller is again reusing photos from previous auctions so there's no point in re-posting them. Also, this is item 1500 I have posted here. From this point on I'm going to be a bit more critical of which photo's to post - I'm only going to post those shapes and forms that have not been posted before and/or have distinctive marks by which they are identifiable as fake. There's no point in posting multiples of the exact same type of fake item wich are almost the same in appearance.
Best. Peter
