Eric Gaumann Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) Gentlemen,I'd appreciate some help in identifying these awards please. But what I would like most is their full or official title in the original German including class distinction. In other words Prussische Eiserns Kreuz Erste klasse or Bayerische Kreigsverdienst Kreuze drittes klasse etc.As you can see my command of the German language is very limited so I seek some hilfe from friends here. Thanks in advance.part one Edited June 26, 2007 by Eric Gaumann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Nice little grouping. Is it actually a group, or just a selection from a collection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Gaumann Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) Thanks for your help SPM. Exactly what I need.Rick, it's not a group per say, just part of my collection.Speaking of which, here's part 2 of said collection since yesterday there were some issues with posting here at the Gentleman's club.One more thing; what's "Steckkreuz" mean?Thanks again all.

Schießplatzmeister Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hello again Eric:"Steckkreuz" means "cross with a pin" or "pin-backed cross".I will identify the other items for you in German later today (if someone else doesn't beat me to it).Best regards,"SPM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
