    It has been pretty quiet lately. I thought since we are all saving our money for presents and not buying much rare or expensive stuff we could have a common stuff thread. I have a nice item in the works but until then:

    CRBerry!

    Is that for real?

    I have never, absolutely never seen one of these in a case.

    I had always assumed that they were awarded in something

    less, like a paper, or board, packet.

    Nice going and best wishes,

    Jason has the right idea. Not a big flashy bar but to a man who was there. What could he tell us?

    @Wild Card - I have seen a few of these over the years. I always meant to get one but just never did. This one came up and I thought it was time. The pattern on the top of the case is unique. If I remember correctly there was an even nicer version of the case with the medal name on it. Stogieman should have pictures if memory serves.

    Yesterday there ended one on ebay.de...... that was a real cracker.... in the box with the writing on it:

    "100 Jahrfeier Kaiser Wilhelms d. Grossen 22. März 1897 Thüring. Husaren-Regt.No.12"

    never seen one with a box like this :speechless1:

    1897 + box

    sold for 203 Euro !!!

    Yeah it's quiet-but it's that time of the year-I lose control of all media for about 6 weeks this time of year until the Superbowl is decided.

    I really like this one-probably hard won given the LS. One can't know for certain, but I'd wager this was an E2-E3s bar.

    I have a photo album that belonged to a well off Unterofficer in a Baden artillery unit. The chap, who after the war was in the Stahlhelm, never made it above Unterofficer, but saw some horrific battles. There are pages of photos of dead Russian corpses knee deep in front of dugouts in front of the gun positions. The chap was wounded and got NOTHING for the entire war except a black wound badge. Maybe this belonged to his Wurtenbergian counterpart.

    I had to find the box with the old collection in it. The photo from Ulsterman reminded me of a bar from the early days. I love the big swords! You do not see these very often.
