Bob Hunter Posted December 23, 2005 Author Posted December 23, 2005 50. This is the bar from Stogie that really put me on the legendary slippery slope...two very rare medals on one bar. It was a nice way to start.

Bob Hunter Posted December 23, 2005 Author Posted December 23, 2005 57a. This is it for now and I will save the ribbon bars for later...much later.
Guest Darrell Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Outstanding Bob ... unbelievable selection I love seeing those Memel medal groups. Any chance of a closeup of the reverse of that Memel?
Jim Baker Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Hi Bob,If you don't mind, would you please tell us what exactly is your definition of "collection"?? These are fantastic!! A super...ummm....accumulation. Thanks for posting these, I really enjoyed this.
Bob Hunter Posted December 24, 2005 Author Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) Well, Jim, I will try. George Seymore had a collection the likes of which we will never see again. Ralph Abercrombie has a most excellent one. Mine is just what it is, an accumulation of items that please me without the remarkable depth and dimension of other collections.

BUT, you still have one fantastic (accumulation, gathering, set, whatever). As long as it brings you joy and keeps your interest peaked, that's what really counts.
David S Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 A magnificent accumulation to say the least
Bob Hunter Posted December 25, 2005 Author Posted December 25, 2005 (edited) OK, Paul, let's start with #49. This is an extremely rare and original mounted Imperial German medal group to a Bavarian Police Officer. It consists of the WWI Honor Cross for Non-Combatants; The 1916 King Ludwig Cross: The rare Silver Honor Medal to the order of the Bavarian Crown (maker marked Losch); The Silver Honor Medal to the Bavarian Order of Saint Michael and the ultra rare Bavarian Twenty Year Police Long Service Cross. The group also has a 1930's era medal bar with clip on backs that appears not have been upgraded as the first bar still has the medals sewn in. It also has a rare matching ribbon bar in double furled south german style. I'm attaching close ups of the two really rare medals. Here is the Silver Honor Medal to the Order of the Bavarian Crown.
