Uffz. Rohleder Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 After more than 20 years i got the medal bar back that belongs to my great great grandfather!My uncle sold it after my grandpa dies in 1995 - and a few days ago i found it on german ebay. it was overpriced but i didnt care about it. The damage is unique - and the two holes on the top of the bar are the most obvius proof that the bar is hims. GreetingsStefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishGunner Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Not only great news, but that's a damn great bar! I love these old pieces - more than the fanciest PLM or Godet EK. Knowing that it is from your family makes it priceless IMHO. Now start convincing your kids to hold onto it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
