Everyone,

My mistake I should added Prussian to the subject.

Dean

Beau and Saschaw,

Thank you for your help. Yes, I got this medal this weekend at the SOS show.

Dean

Hello to everyone,

Can someone please give me the official title of this medal?

Thank you

Dean

Hello to everyone,

I got this bar at the SOS. I like the Oldenburg Merit Cross 2nd Class of the Oldenburg Chamber of Trade and Commerce. Just wanted to share with everyone.

Dean

Another nice bar.......

Dean

Again Tom, nice bar.

Dean

Very nice bar. Waldeck bars are always rare.

Dean

Dear All,

I would like to create my own list of a "must have" books for Imperial German militaria collector (I am one). I am of course interested in awards, uniforms, documents and pictures from that period.

Do you have any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Marcin

Marcin,

I really like your idea, I am also an Imperial collector and would be interested in having a collection of must have reference books. I use one book on a regular basis.

Deutsche Orden und Ehrenzeichen 1800-1945 by Jorg Nimmergut. (In German only)

It is an excellent resource for identifying orders and medals and giving you a good idea what they cost.

Hopes this helps.

Dean

Chris,

Thank you very much for the information.

Dean

Hello to everyone,

I have a co-worker whose Grandfather served in the 750th Railroad Operating Battalion in World War II. I am looking for information on where this unit served in the European Theater of Operations. I have included a picture of the unit insignia. The co-worker has no information on what his Grandfather, so any information would be helpful.

Dean

I have a bar that is like the one you posted,

Dean

Don,

Very Nice work...

Dean

Amazing bar!!!!!

Thank you to everyone who has commented on this bar. The information was very useful. I do not know to much about the 1914 clasp, I will defer to more knowledgeable people on the clasp. This is the first time I have seen it and picked up this bar because of it.

Dean

Thank you to everyone who commented. I really like this bar and wanted to share it.

Dean

Bob,

Thanks for the support. The is the first time I have put a show on in October. I pretty much sold out the tables I had, so I am optimistic. We will see. Thank you for the comment.

Dean

Thank you for the comments. I grabbed this bar because of the 1914 clasp.

Dean

Vince, I did grab this in a heartbeat once I saw it.

Tom, I know you got some amazing bars yourself. I like that German customs bar you posted. Very nice.

Dean

Thank you for the nice comments on this bar. I did not know about the 1914 clasp, thank you Eric. I have included a picture of the reverse of the medal bar. Post 1934 construction.

Thank you for the nice comments. There is no paperwork with this medal. I have never seen the P.O.W. medal on a medal bar so I picked this up. I have included a picture of the reverse of the P.O.W. medal and well as the bar.

Hello to everyone,

Nothing special, but wanted to share. I picked this up at the MAX show.

Dean

Hello to everyone,

I picked this medal bar up at the MAX show. I have seen the German P.O.W. medal in a buttonhole version but not on medal bar. Just wanted to share.

Dean

Speedytop,

I got these also, I thought they were very detailed. Realistically, I would never own most of these orders, so the next best thing is to have these chromolithographs. Nice find.....
