Pushing the envelope....

By the way, what is #6 in pic. #19? It appears like some sort of city medal or "Chamber of commerce" from a city medal

this medal is the Ehrenmedaille des Bundes s?chsischer Frontsoldaten (BSF) which was given in gold, silver and bronze..... it is from the same organization as medal (cross) N?6 from the right in post N?1

greetings

Ahhh! We are too far apart for me to keep up with your varied interests. Didn't know you were "into" these.

PART of what I got with more rolls last week is a BOX of Tony's stuff on veterans awards. A lot he seems to have published in OMSA magazines after I left that organization but lots and lots of things are organizational histories, various jubilee publications 1890s-1980s detailing same, lists of organization officers etc etc etc.

YOU are the right person to get those then, since these are completely outside my knowledge. I'll bring them along next month for you.

Many thanks!

i miss Tony. he was always cheerful on-line.

......................and one for the breast!!!! If he had offered all together maybe he would have made even more money (but still enough!!!)

[HeikoGrusdat]

maybe in some weeks the seller will find some documents and then the group has a name!!!

[Stogieman]

He must have been well-to-do in a difficult economic period in order to make these bars... A name would be pretty neat.
