Hello Nick,

Thanks for the link, hope I can get it up and running.

Hello Ulsterman,

Here's a photos of the back

Hello Ulsterman,

On the back along with the standard GES. GESCH. - STH - silver stamp 935 is a number 540 - there's no date engraved. I'll try and get a picture of the back on the thread tomorrow.

Hello All,

Picked this Stahlhelmbund badge up along with a couple of WW2 death cards at Saturdays Flea-market. I would have liked to show everything but unfortunately the photos & scans are to large to be posted.

Regards

Hello,

I want to thank everyone for their impute, I?ve had a second perusal of J?rg Nimmergut?s medal catalogue and found the section with the W?rttemberg Knights Crosses along with a price guide, so I?ve everything I need.

Thanks again

Hello W.

Thanks for the posting with the presentation number - did Klietmann give any price guide for the medal ?.

Best Wishes

Hello Gentlemen,

Thanks for the posts and information - couple of points I'd like to go through.

Rick,

I'm on the cusp of closing the deal for the medal bar, but I'm thrashing around in the dark for a price for the Friedrich Order, so regard, even your over 20 year old price, as not without value, for me it is a starting point.

I fully concur with your assessment, that its a military doctor's medal bar I found this link (http://home.att.net/~david.danner/mi...erttemberg.htm )- Friedrich Order - Knights Cross 2nd Class with Swords issued (to quote) - "Among junior officers, the Ritterkreuz II. Klasse mit Schwertern was typically awarded to Oberleutnante and Leutnante" a doctor would be given such a rank.

Hello W. McSwiggan,

As the Friedrick's Order was a officier's award. I was wondering, how high was the number of medals awarded?.

Best Wishes

Evening All,

I was offered this four piece WW1 German Medal Bar with ribbon bar today, unfortunately I've had to crop the picture right down in order to get it to load up. A couple of questions - the unknown medal (at least to me) is the second one between Iron Cross 2nd Class & Hindernburg Cross ( think it may be Prussian, due ribbon colour) the fourth medal on the right is red cross. What is the second medal, if its a officer's medal coupled with the red cross medal would it mean the original wearer was a doctor or has it no bearing and the wearer was a normal sanit?ter. Also could someone give me a rough price, what one should pay.

Regards

Evening All,

I bought this German Parachute KVK 2nd Class +Swords document along with the medal on Saturday from local the flea-market. Two questions - the only other document I've found of this design was for Luftwaffe personnel, so did the Luftwaffe their own design for presentation documents? Second question - the main reason I bought it was that, it was issued to a member of the german parachute forces which were small in number and gives the document a rarity value for a collector, but of how much?. Perhaps Mr P. Keating may be able to help.

Regards

Thanks for the information Kevin.

Anyone know anything about medal maker Friedl?nder - Berlin?

Hello All,

Yesterday, I bought this 3x Imperial German Medal Bar, not normally my area of collecting. A couple of questions the Iron Cross 2nd Class has Fr stamped on the ring - Friedl?nder - Berlin did this company produce Iron Crosses in WW2 ? and is it rare maker?. Also the Military Service Cross 3rd Class is it 3 Form or 4 Form. Any information would help.

Regards

Hello Nesrepdep,

Better pictures are needed, could you post a full frontal picture i.e.90 degrees to object, if possible without the the flash glare in picture.

Hello All,

I picked this SA stick pin up today - I've looked through my Tieste Abzeichen catalogue and drew a blank, I think it may be a membership badge, but if anyone has a definite idea please let me know.

Best Wishes

Hello Matt,

I can help you out on the prices of some of the badges & medals, as I've bought some of them myself this year. Large red cross helpers badge 50 euro - small red cross members badge 30 euro - RDB badge (Reichsbund der Deutschen Beamten) 25 euro- Silver Wound Badge with case 100 euro. Hope this kicks things off for you.

Regards

Hello Claymore,

Lucky you, I'm working from the 1st edition catologue 1989 - 170 pages, very poor photo - copied pictures some are just a black blob, it leaves a lot to be desired, but then I suppose Tieste had to start somewhere and 70 euro for a lastest edition is still a large wedge.

Regards

Hello Claymore,

Surprised you were aware of the kempten tinnie it doesn't crop up in my Tieste - Katalog, its a sort after piece, even local collectors havn't got any, but if I come across another, I'll do a trade with you.

Regards

Hello Lorenzo,

Here's a picture of the tinnie backs.

Hello All,

We'd a glorious weather this weekend in South Germany - lots of people up & about. On Saturday I trawled through three different flea-markets in the area picking a number of tinnes

-

Top row left - 1935 Frei ist the Saar - Top middle - Day Tinnie - Kurmark Guben 1935 -Top right - a rememberance tinnie for 99th Mountain Troop Regiment ( every year usually beginning October there's a church service for fallen soldiers on the Grunten mountain out side Sonthofen) this one is for 1988 (40 years)

Bottom row - two stick pins & two tie-pins all belonging to VdH ( Verein der Heimkehrer) which was a association of WW2 German POW's who had returned home. Not sure if the numbers 20-25 denote length of membership time per man or existance time of the association
