Paul C Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Claudio, Would you post the HOH3X document, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Hi Paul, Here's the scan of HHO3X and a detailled picture of Godet's metallic tag on the reverse. ciao, Claudio Edited June 25, 2012 by Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudius Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Bravo, bravo! I have so many questions, but I will limit them. The Orden Stern von Rumänien mit Krone also has swords. Is that because, he was recognized for a gallantry action in 1909 or is the swords version awarded to military personnel? Do I understand correctly? Did he earn the Centennial Medal but did not mount it on his medal bar or ribbon bar. Are the reverses of the medal bar and ribbon bar the expected dark blue felt? Could you please post them? Are there any more details on his career? Thank you for showing it. Edited June 25, 2012 by Claudius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rumanian order with swords which was bestowed on Reymann, as you correctly suggest, was given to military personnel. Yes, he was awarded with the Centennial Medal but he strangely didn't wear it. The backing is very dark blue.... He was the first commander of the SMS Vulcan... http://de.wikipedia....i/SMS_Vulkan I am sure that I can find more information on him. ciao, Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudius Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Good, Good, Good. Thank for posting. Commander of SMS Vulcan. Great. Yes, there is more with the lot, but you probably can find more on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the groupings you've shared here have been sublime. All the best, Jason I agree!!!! But I hink these beauties only come at a cost price you must be able to pay.

misiu Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I saw the medal once at an auction house...but I am wondering if it was spink or medalhouse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I agree!!!! But I hink these beauties only come at a cost price you must be able to pay. Greetings, PP Hi Poulton, It depends, I think. I've known many guys who have wonderful groupings that they got for below market value, while others have paid significantly higher in competitive bidding. Sometimes we get great deals, sometimes we overpay. Hopefully it all evens out. This is why I think it's helpful to have as narrow a focus as possible, so we can jump on the pieces that matter to us when they arise.
