Guest Rick Research Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 God, that's a beauty! Do you suppose the centers once fell out and somebody fixed them with hot wax? That's about what holds most of this sort of award together anyway-- some kind of "gunk" in the centers.By the way, your award numbers are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off.I shall PM you.Be sitting down, and not drinking or eating anything when you read it. I have got to say, folks, when the Lippe Rolls are published later this year....

That's about what holds most of this sort of award together anyway-- some kind of "gunk" in the centers.No, definitly an accident.The centers (and the upper ringholder!!!! -never seen before!) are fixed with thin silver-nails, not with wax.Holly ######...this number of awards I didn?t expect... I just copied Reiner Schwark?s number of award from his book, I just forgot to check the award-list on my last visit in Detmold.Thank you very much for open my eyes...Best regardsRoman
Deruelle Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 What a beauty !!! I'm speechless. Just for my information do you have the box ?Christophe
Solomon Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Just for my information do you have the box ?No, I?m sorry. No box...only a very long (original) ribbon...

David Gregory Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 David, even with the red wax it looked fantastic when held in the hand Are there GMIC meetings in OWL that I don't know about?
