Thank you very much. I will skip it.

Thank you very much. If you ever have a trip to Prague, you are welcome and I invite you to lunch 🙂.

Thank you. I am afraid that I might have to wait until the end of my life for the original cross awarded. And besides, I could never be sure of the authenticity. In the upcoming local auction there is this one, I will try it.

Thanks for you effort.

Well, the problem is that I am not living in US. I am ready to pay USD 100,- including postage immediately, but shipped to Prague, Czech Republic.

Thank you very much.

The star arrived finaly. It has enclosed markings on reverse. Can you explain?

Thanks

After two days of bargaining I bought it at the price indicated by Owain. I am glad that I finally have a star of the order that I consider the most beautiful in the world. The diametter is 82 mm, so Grand Cross. Thank you again for your assistance 🙂.

Congratulations.

Thank very much. You are right Owain, the seller wants more. I'll have to bargain a bit 😀.

Hello,

would you be so kind to identify decorations in enclosure?

Thanks

Jan

Hello guys,

somebody is offering this star. I would like to know if it is OK and what would the fair price.

Thanks

Jan

Nobody?

I have no idea, what is it. What country? Military? Period?

Thanks for an advice

Jan

Thank you very much.

I know my English is bad, but that's why it's simple and I don't understand how my question can't be misunderstood. So I'll try to explain. In most countries of the world, there are Orders, Decorations and Medals (ODM) that honor individuals. In many countries, military units are also honored with these awards. Both platoons, companies, regiments, divisions, army groups, artillery batteries, warships, military schools, military factories, tombs of unknown soldiers, etc., etc. These decorations are usually attached to the flag of the decorated unit and often with a large, so-called flag ribbon in the colors of the award ribbon.

quote Such as U.S. unit citations, French fourragères, or Russian/Soviet naming units as "Guards" units? unquote is something else.

Well, my question is whether it happened also in the case of German units. That, for example, an artillery battery could be awarded the Iron Cross 1st class or some regiment the Order of  Red Eagle, etc.

Thanks

For example here:

No no. Regular orders and medals which are awarded to soldiers. This is quite normal pratice in many countries like Soviet Union, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Greece and many, many others. 

. 

Thank you very much. But in other countries regiments have been awarded normal medals and orders. In Germany not?

Hello,

I am not familiar with German ODM. I would like to know, if army units, let´s say regiments,  also received some awards. If yes, where to find  informations.

Thanks

Jan

Thank you. Better not to touch it.

Another auction. May I know your opinion?

Regards

Jan
