Stogieman Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hi Don. I think this one is OK, just falls into the "Ugly" Category. You have a nice, double-furled "South-German" style mount that has dried out and shrunk a bit, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary B Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hi Don, I saw when this went up for sale. You got a nice original single Ost front for a great price. I have only seen 3 single mounted Ost front medals in my collecting time. I am not sure whay but not many of these were produced and the ones that survived are all in poor condition. I guess if you were on the Russian front you were not going to be attending any parties!GaryHi Don. I think this one is OK, just falls into the "Ugly" Category.

Gary B Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Dear Don, Yes that Ost front bar from last month was a nice one. I was really surprised it stayed on the for sale section for so long. I was even more surprised that I was the first one to respond! That was the 2nd one I had seen.GaryThanks Rick and Gary for your opinions.I have only seen a few and when this came up I grabed it.

Inspector Krogh Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 All presented are pleasing, each in their own way...I am a little worried however, about this talk of flogging..... I can't help but remember the quote "....rum, sodomy, and the lash"!G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary B Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Dear Dan, Thanks for the comment ref the Austiran mounted Ost medal. I saw this at this year's Max and bought it right away.
