Careful Doc........ going "Austrian" can be very bad for the pocket book! ;>)

The Jubilee Medal(s) of then Cadet, Later Admiral Ferdinand Gebhardt!

[Stogieman]

The lid....... guess he wanted to make sure that not only everyone would always know whose stuff was whose...... but doubled up his awards so he could show off both sides! Makes me glad I wasn't on his staff!

[Stogieman]

Just to show that Herr Admiral was an "equal-opportunity" show-off...... here's his cased Danish War of 1864 set!

[Stogieman]

Of course, if you really acquire a taste for "Austrian"...... think of the possibilities just waiting for you to find & cherish!! Good Hunting!!

Yep! Imagine that. 2 perfect specimans of each award displayed in the same case. The third piece that appeared in Germany was a Tunisian Decoration. It was also in a titled case, but only one piece, not duplicates like this. Unfortunately I was outbid on the third piece and the buyer has ignored all entrieties to re-unite the set. There's a substantial amount of other awards out there somewhere for this man. A pipe-dream perhaps, but one I keep alive!
