Hey all, got a couple additions for the collection.  A nice Small Silver FJ Bravery Medal with 3 repeat bars (Unmarked) and a cherry Silver FJ Signum Laudis

 

Hope to acquire some more this year

Great find. 'Small Silver FJ Bravery Medal with 3 repeat bars' - very hard to find. I think I read somewhere many moons ago that only about 3 were awarded.

Thanks for the kind words!

 

I believe that there were more than 3 winners with 3 bars for the 2nd class silver medal Don't know the numbers however.

 

3 bars were the max you could wear on the medal ribbon.

 

Again, thanks for the kind words.

 

Best

Sorry, my error. I think there were 3 awarded to the Honvéd part of the Austro-Hungarian army (not sure if they were awarded during Franz Joseph's reign or Karl's or a combination of both).

Not yet.  Kind of in limbo till we get our taxes done (see if we owe or get a refund!).

 

Always looking however!

 

Stay well to all!
