Guest WAR LORD Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Not quite, what about the reverse colours of the medals? Austrian in Bronze, Memel in Silver and Sudeten in Silver?
Guest WAR LORD Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 I'll second that one. ←The medals are found in the reverse colours. I have the Austrian and Memel in this way and have seen the Sudeten in the same manner. These are not unfinnished or maker fault. I have tried to find out the perpouse but as yet non has come to light. One theroy is that they are for the people who supported the activities in the country. But only one possible explanation. I will post the medals when I have the time to get them. Any other sugestions would be most welcome. Possibly Rick you could trawl up something.
Guest Rick Research Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 Nope, never heard of or seen such things! Will await your scans!
Nick Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 I have heard of the Austrian in Bronze but not the others in reverse metals. But have never seen an example.
DanCz Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I have an example of the "Austria" medal in bronze - - but I have never seen any other variations. Has anyone ??
Ralph A Posted June 13, 2005 Author Posted June 13, 2005 This may sound silly, but check the dates on the back to make sure they aren't just with the wrong ribbons.I'd like to see these, if you can post them.
Guest WAR LORD Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 The idea is great, but the reverse colours are on the correct ribbons. Also there is a little extra, but this comes later. Investigating has to have a little "mystery".
Guest WAR LORD Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Got the boxes out and would like to share the items
Guest WAR LORD Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 The Czeck medal in silver is on the bar to J?rgen Freiherr von Maercken zu Geerath who was awarded his KC as Oblt. in 1/Pz. Rgt. 36 (14. Pz. Div.) on 17/09/41.The group is with his Daughter. The reverse has a taylors label for the court taylor in Hannover. His wife who is still alive dose not know why the medal is such, but has always been this way.
Ralph A Posted June 26, 2005 Author Posted June 26, 2005 Interesting. How about some closeups of the anomalies?Thanks for sharing these!
Guest Rick Research Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Definitely need full screen sized focussed closeups. Can't tell a thing about finish or lack thereof from the tiny fuzzy scans.
