Stogieman Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Careful Doc........ going "Austrian" can be very bad for the pocket book! ;>)The Jubilee Medal(s) of then Cadet, Later Admiral Ferdinand Gebhardt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Just to show that Herr Admiral was an "equal-opportunity" show-off...... here's his cased Danish War of 1864 set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Of course, if you really acquire a taste for "Austrian"...... think of the possibilities just waiting for you to find & cherish!! Good Hunting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley1965 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 He was anal wasn't he?!! Obverse and Reverse in the same case?!!Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
