medalnet Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Ok, ok, not quite the Pour le Merite, but in its time probably the highest bravery award that there was. The Military Honor Medal 1st class! A piece from before 1900 with the proper AW mark. I have a little write up on my web page: www.medalnet.net The piece itself is listed here: http://cgi.ebay.de/Orden-Militaer-Ehrenzeichen-1-Kl-Preussen-Ausgabe-1864_W0QQitemZ250605140639QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMilitaria?hash=item3a593afa9f Amazing:
medalnet Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 It used to be. So I can comment with full confidence!
Naxos Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 ... I have a little write up on my web page: www.medalnet.net Great article, Andreas That is a nice Schutztruppler medal bar featured Hardy
medalnet Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 I am honestly not that into medals (more into decorations) but this one due to it's special status is quite a fun one! I have not seen many on medal bars either.
medalnet Posted March 31, 2010 Author Posted March 31, 2010 Let me add this high resolution image, too. It i so important to be aware of how this has to look like:
medalnet Posted April 1, 2010 Author Posted April 1, 2010 I received several questions in regards to the other items the seller wolongong has for sale. I have seen most of them personaly and can vouch not just for the pieces but also for the seller.
Claudio Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) A German dealer (CB) has also one for sale right now (Eur 1'500.-)... it's not a bit strange that such rare as hen's teeth decorations are beginning to pup up everywhere? Just a thought. Edited April 2, 2010 by Claudio
saschaw Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I'm not an expert on these but guess there is a major difference beteween the first one shown and the second... isn't it?
