I recently bought one of these. I understand that this is a combat award, but I am pretty ignorant concerning Asian awards. Can anyone fill me on on this? -
These are my hands down favourite decorations of Imperial Germany. I don't think any other state awarded an Enameled Decoration to the Enlisted Ranks First off is Lübeck -
Hello. Regarding Johns Invitation and huge help in past time, Ive decided to make my account. Today I would like an advice concerning few badges: But hopefully some help with pasting images would be awsome. Thank you -
I am considering do a reprint of Neal O'Connor's volume 1 of Aviation Awards of Imperial Germany WWI. I will of course have to have the permission of his family and/or estate first. I believe that V1 is almost unobtainable and if found can sell for several hundred dollars. My questions are: 1. Would you buy a reprint of V1? 2. What would you be willing to pay for a reprint? Thanks for the market research help. -
Hello everyone, I'm being offered this ribbon bar recently and I thought it is so special that it uses Rettungsmedaille ribbon for the first 3 places, and having a lot of devices on it, the last 3 positions are actually prussian Lifesaving medal, Turkish Lifesaving awards for the 1st and 2nd actions. Can anybody tell me if the combination could be possible and perhaps a wartime original? all comments are welcome, thanks. -
In the year 2013 we have any anniversaries. 200 years iron cross is one of this. Less known is the 100 anniversary of the foudation of the first navy unit. All starts with the "Allerhöchste Kabinettsordre" from 3rd May 1913. Where the german emperor order the creation of two units: 1. Marine-Luftschiffabteilung located at Johannesthal / Berlin 2. Marine-Fliegerabteilung located at Puzig near Danzig. I ask you all to post everything related to the german navy aviation from 1913 to 1920. Everything like badges, documents, paper, medal / ribbon bars, uniform and parts of this. Kind regards Alex -
Dear forumites, I'd like to present to newly adquired ribbon bar. The first one, it is named (thanks Christian), the second still unnamed. Feldspange des Oberst Hensel. 1.)

General-Feldmarschall Graf Waldersee (Schleswigsches) Nr. 9. Im darauffolgenden Jahr war er in der II. (Proviant) Kolonnen-Abteilung der Schutztruppe für Südwestafrika wo er sich auszeichnete und die Tapferkeit im folgenden Jahr durch den Ranglisteneintrag des Kronenordens 4. Klasse ersichtlich wurde. Er wurde dann zur Dienstleistung beim Gouverneurs in das Bezirkskommando Windhuk versetzt, wo er blieb bis er im 1. Weltkrieg durch die britischen Besatzer interniert wurde. Als Oberstleutnant a.D. nach dem Weltkrieg gab es für ihn eine Reaktivierung im 2. Weltkrieg, indem er zum Oberst und Kommandeur eines russischen Kriegsgefangenenlagers gemacht worden ist. May somebody has more information about Oberst Hensel's details in WW2. Thanks in advance for your interest. -

Hi, I only thought of it when it was too late, as usual... and I would go back and do the editing to all the threads, but I am more of an EK document guy, so the errors I would make would be numerous... If you have posted a bar, AND you have time, could you go back and edit the post, adding a small description as to what is on the bar, and anything else that comes to mind? It would be a huge added value to the threads. As it is it is great, they show all possible combinations, and for a "anything other than EK dud" like me, they are a real eye opener. Thanks for all the contributions! Best Chris -
i have a rad hewer with the number "br 251" stamped on it and i would like to know what it means. i was told by one that it is a serial number and another has a hewer but says that the number is a batallion number. i have been looking on the internet and found these two webpages and would like to know if this is what this number means http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/BauBtl/BauBtl251-R.htm http://www.stampsx.com/ratgeber/stempel-datenbank.php?stempelsuche_ort=15843 or could this number mean something else? thanks john -
Gentlemen, I have recently had the good fortune to obtain an interesting Ethiopian group, which although missing two medals, is a group which I should be able to complete. The mounted group consists of : Order of Menelik, 4th Class (missing and a "spare worn Haile Selassie merit medal has been substitutued) Order of the Star, 4th Class Large gilt Haile Selassie Medal of Merit Haile Selassie Jubilee Medal 25th Anniversary of Liberation Medal Norway - Medal of Olav V Greece - Order of George I, 6th Class Holland - Order of Orange Nassau, 5th Class (or possibly medal?) Denmark - Royal Medal of Recompense (Frederick IX) - 2nd Type 1965-71 Belgium - Order of the Crown, 4th Class What attracted me to the group is that it was the first time I had seen a mounted group including the Jubilee and 25th Anniversary medals, both relatively scarce, especially the Jubilee medal. It also provides some scope for research in as much as I hope to be able to track down the state visits by Haile Selassie to the overseas countries or indeed visits by Heads of State to Addis Ababa. From the grades of awards, both Ethiopian and from overseas, I would infer that the recipient was an official at the Court of Haile Selassie. Whilst I should be able to source an Order of Menelik to complete the Ethiopian portion of the group my reasoning for posting this on the Northern European Forum is to ask fellow members with knowledge of such awards: Is the missing Dutch order indeed the 5th Class of the Order of Orange Nassau or a Medal of the Order and if the latter of what grade? Was it a gilt medal removed because it was thought to be gold? Were the medals awarded to foriegners during state visits or were only orders presented? With regard to the Danish and Norwegian medals - are these particulary scarce and are they well documented? Any information on these Danish and Norwegian awards would be welcome. Finally with regard to the Begium Order of the Crown 4th Class - as it is mounted last and of the 4th Class, could this infer the increasing seniority or rank of the recipient assuming the foriegn awards are mounted in chronological order of receipt. (I am not ignoring the Greek award but it is not the subject matter of this particular forum.) Ideally what I need to do is track down the order of state visits to Ethiopia or by Haile Selassie to the countries represented in this group - perhaps a job for a wet weekend in January? Many thanks in advance for any information provided. Kind regards and festive greetings from Riyadh, Owain Raw-Rees -
I wonder if you can help me with two pics of an WH Major ? The first pic is dated 1937 on the back, and shows him with 9 ribbon bar and the second pic is later with a KVK added and some other bringing his ribbon bar up to an impressive 12 !! The question is what does he have ? First the full pic

Dear fellow collectors: I need some help with an ID. I have a tunic in my possession that according to its ribbons (Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order of the British Empire, Commander of the Order of the British Empire, Queens Police Medal, 1939-1945 Star, Burma Star, France and Germany Star, Defence Medal, War Medal, 1977 Jubilee Medal, Police Long Service and Good Conduct 1951-) must have belonged to Sir Colin Woods (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Woods). A fellow collector pointed out that the red backing of the crowns on the shoulder board is inconsistent with the regalia worn by chief officers of the Met (they have a blue backing). As the Queen Police Medal was awarded in 1980 and is on the tunic only leaves the option that this tunic was worn in Woods' function as the first Commissioner as the Australian Federal Police (1979-82) or possible as HM Chief Inspector of the Constabulatory for England and Wales. Any suggestions? Thanks so much! -
