Motorhead Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Another goodie from your collection-the "CD800" is a dream(notice the standing hinge),but the case....the case(unfortunatelly in bad shape) is a dream! One of the few real good private purchased patriotic ones! Well done...........Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valgor Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 i'm not sure if i'm supposed to revive old topics.But the inscription of the case got me intrigued.How can you buy a bravery medal to commemorate.I mean, ?that does not sound like it is sold a s a replacement to a veteran. It sounds like the target customer was just about anyone really, looking for a nice WWI souvenir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 i'm not sure if i'm supposed to revive old topics.it's perfectly fine to revive old topics--that's why we keep them around! this inscription was a common contemporary catchphrase at the time. it can be found on a wide variety of artifacts ranging from photo albums, drinking vessels, and a wide variety of iron cross-related items.

The inscription makes it sound like a patriotic souvenir, not like it is a replacement.?If this is the case (and it would explain why just about any kind of shop could offer them), it sort of devaluates the interwar pieces.Comments&opinions?(glad reviving old topics isn't against etiquette :-) ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 First-my statement "CD 800" is obviously wrong! It's the "800" series of the CD family! To the "souvenier-this Ek is a private purchased one!the case is a patriotic one. I think that everyone could have bought this patriotic cases at the jeweler shops-together with this iron cross.I don't know how the rules for these purchases has been those days,but I think that you had to bring your Soldbuch or something like that to show that you've been awarded with the medal you wanted to buy........pure speculation by me!Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
