Hallo Richard How about taking a look at the LIVERPOOL MEDALS WEBSITE: http://www.liverpoolmedals.co.uk/FMPro?-db...t2.htm&-new Kevin in Deva,

Hallo Chris, from what I know, military survivors of the retreat through Albania were awarded this medal and a small pension for life for their suffering. They were also issued with a pension entitlement book as well as the medal, In good condition with original ribbon can be classed as scarce, In good condition with ribbon and book can be classed as RARE, always seem to sell for in and over 100 Euros I am searching for more info, so watch this space ( - As it turns up on French Ebay now and again I believe French troops received it, but I am not sure if they qualified for a pension - ) Old Pictures from my computer reference files of medals sold on the Internet. Kevin.

Hallo Bishop Interesting questions, I believe that nobody has managed to capture the original powdery "Satin" black paint job of the originals. Some of the brass -core and zinker paint jobs might react with time a little differently to the Iron core paint-jobs. And its down to the purchasers own taste, as to having a re-spray / re-brush to make the item look ok, or the " collecting-fanatic" who will only buy it as it was issued. As opposed to the chap who will take what his pocket can afford. Kevin in Deva

Teddy you are a bad boy, get some oil onto the rifle and get rid of the rust as an old soldier it makes me sad / mad to see rust on a rifle barrel. If you need some tips on cleaning I will be glad to email you. Kevin in Deva

Herr General, Many thanks, the new group look very interesting especially No 4 with the Iron Cross at the end of the medal bar Kevin in Deva

Hallo Eduardo, having had a look online I can say this is not "Bertha", so its possibly a French item, I still think it was originaly mounted on a railway, if you look at the cropped photo, and imagine it with steel railway wheels where I altered the picture with photo-shop, looking at the amount of weeds and debris around this, it has been in the postion for a while. Kevin.

Hallo saschaw, nice find, now, that has a bit of "CLASS" about it Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Gents With regards Lebanese medals this one is turning up on Irish Medal bars belonging to UNIFIL veterans, all though I expect its unofficial and wont be found on a serving Irish soldiers medal bar. LEBANESE ARMY MILITARY MERIT, III CLASS Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Gents my only excuse is its Thursday night Why oh why am I not rushing to buy at 10,000 dollars http://www.epier.com/Collectibles/Military...ges/1095547.asp looks like it was knocked up in somebodys basement this week. Warsaw Shield 1944 Original, Only One in Existences, Rare Kevin in Deva. Sorry Guys I couldnt bear to post this in German WW2 section, feared instant excomunication from the Club!!!!

Many thanks for the reply, Kevin in Deva

Hallo Rob, Thanks for the heads up, now if thats the same one he was asking the forum about WHY did he not post pictures of the rear?? the inscription translates as, or near to: For Other Services, Sch.-Ges. Anderten v, 1909. and has a possible connection with a shooting club. Any more thoughts stogieman?? Looking at the SP on a lot of his medals Princes / Symbol 19.99 must be one of his favourite songs Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Eduardo, Great Cards as usual, the Bertha probably refers to "Big Bertha" one of a number of long-range artillery pieces the Germans used to lob shells into Paris, this looks like the body of the gun, the barrel being blown off, the guns were mounted on railway waggons. Kevin.

Hail Rick, sorry for not stating my question better, I was asking is the first medal on the bar showing the reverse?? and thanks for the info on the sleeve badge. Kevin
