My Thuringian collection

Hello everybody

I collect medals, books and photos of Thuringian States. The most important State for me is the Saxe Coburg Gotha. I will show you my collection

The first part of my collection is my only medal bar and ribbon bar group.

Isn't that combined Ernestine Duchies awards rolls book currently still available in Books For Sale just super terrific for identifying groups?

And SO much easier to use than the original rolls?
