    Your medal is on the wrong ribbon. The medal you show is the Jubiläums-Erinnerungsmedaille, which is worn on a red ribbon (officially "ponceaurot").

    The Kriegsmedaille is a different medal, worn on the black-laddered yellow ribbon shown. Here is an example:

    ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH?.. in hospital with a broken shoulder angry.gifangry.gifangry.gif

    Next week they are going to get my arm repaired, at the moment I am sitting in the chair like a fixstar: no way to move and shining bright from all the drugs?.

    But back to topic?. The history of Austrian medals and awards is the big white gap in my knowledge ? it`s a shame, I know? I can`t help you with this Austrian medal problem but I can share some german colonial groups with Austrian medals on it if you like? It can take a while, I have to wait for the next possibility to move a bit , I hope in 2 hours the mega gagaland is gone and I can have some clear thinkings for a moment? rolleyes.gifrolleyes.gifrolleyes.gif

    Hi Stogie, no problem - it is one of my human rights to have bad luck, too.... sad.gif

    I could need some more valium or morphine... speechless.gifunsure.gifjumping.gif but it is hard to write with one hand and takes along time... at the moment the arm is fixed and next week I will come under the knife....

    Now I have a bit time to show some more things from my collection to all of you... I will start a new topic with some of my miniature chains - enjoy!!!

    Hey Bob, it IS a full contact sport!!!! ninja.gifninja.gifninja.gif Ask Claudio, it seems that we are often fighting for the same medal bars on auctions - that`s real bloodsport....

    Thank you very much for your recovery wishes - I will do my best

    Hallo Heiko,

    I wish, too, that you will be better soon... concerning bidding against eachother: that's really tough, maybe in future we should discuss that in advance in order not to step eachother on our toes. Btw, the last Colonial bar you got from Thies, I wasn't the second highest bidder...

    Ciao,

    Claudio
