Very nice Godet medal bar! I love the Godets... the ribbon are always so impeccably folded; their bars are the mercedes equivalent among all medal bars!

Belated greetings, for which I apologize , since we met in Kirchheim.

A super bar (post #1), absolutely super! Although not a Mecklenburg collector, I have always been particularly fond of that 1899 Kriegervereinsmedaille; and I believe that this is the first time that I have seen one actually mounted on a group. It?s design is so interesting, being descended from the 1813 golden MVM.

Congratulations and best wishes,

I wonder if there are still any military/civil awards archives at Schwerin?

Strelitz was in the hands of bureaucratic madmen, and though what passes for wartime rolls seem to have survived there, they are so INCREDIBLY bad that they are useless. The record keepers then were literally insane.

I hope hope hope that the situation might be better in Schwerin?

Now I have all award rolls from Mecklenburg-Schwerin and it was very easy to get it. I was spocken with the director from the archiv and later all doors was open for me.

I told him, I try to write a book about the orders and medals from Mecklenburg-Schwerin and the rest was very simple. But it was not so cheap. I payed more then 1500 Euros for all copies. I Schwerin and other cities in Mecklenburg you can find a lot of interesting papers and documents.

Sorry for my bad english.
