    Collecting is an interesting and exciting hobby. It still can be frustrating if information isn't obtainable.

    When I started out - 15 years ago - collecting German orders, decorations and medals I had little, actually absolutely no knowledge about this complex topic. Needless to say that the first 15 pieces, bought from hard earned pocket money, were all fakes.

    Looking back to this incident I think I made the right experience. I should have strived for more information. Instead, I just wanted to accumulate as fast as possible all those pretty and interesting medals.

    I don't think this should happen to anybody else. Especially since there are so many different sources of information in today's world. The number of publications, books and collectors, even societies, is in any case quite different than 15 or 20 years ago. Getting the right information is way easier these days and makes our hobby more enjoyable. Building a collection does make even more fun, when information is shared in-between collectors.

    I would like to make my experience accessible for all those who are not only accumulating their treasures, but looking for the history behind orders, decorations and medals.

    Have fun working your way through my ?Web-Space? and always keep in mind, that I am still looking for rare orders , decorations and medals for my own collection. www.medalnet.net

    Andreas thank you for pulling us back to today. My (2) Cents, Finding an authentic PLM on ebay -- no way. Perhaps a couple years before the Eban before folks really knew what they were offering, but not today. Oh for the good old days, but they are gone along with the 700 PLMs
