BlackcowboyBS Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 oh wow! In Germany we have the saying, that 5 of 4 westphalia medals are fakes! But yours looks pretty okay, I guess that the armour shows signs of wearing and that these marks aren't tiny blowholes? I have never seen the award document, so this one really is awesome!!!! PS: I really love your book on the HIstoire des distinctions honorifiques du royaume de Westphalie and have it in my liberary. I took a look into it and saw that Frederic Sächtling was musician. Any chances that we learn for what he has earned his medal? PSS: In my book Vol 2 on pages 57f you will find a letter from Sergeant Eggeling to the duke of Brunswick, where he is writing about his silver and the golden medal of honor of westphalia. If you want me to, I can send you the translation into english or french to your email address, which I have! Just give me short note, if you want me to do so.

augustin1813 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Thanks for sending me a french translation of the letter of Eggeling. I think also this award document is rare. An other one that was in the Prince of Monaco's collection has been sold some years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
