Hi Gerd,
great collection! Congratulations!
Just a note, Your 4 place bar with the Friedrich August medal on lifesaving ribbon, the ribbon is that of the Kreuz des Allgemeinen Ehrenzeichen, not livesaving. So I assume somebody removed the original cross and put the FAM there.
Best regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
thanks a lot!I did not notice the outer white stripes yet. So is it just a fairy tale, that medals had been awarded at a lifesaving ribbon?. I hope, i can get a Kreuz des AEZ to reconstruct the bar. I got this bar with the document of the RAO from an old man, but you never know, who had this in his hands.
Best regards,
GerdLast edited by Gerd; 08-07-2003, 04:50 AM.

Hi Gerd,
do You mean to wear other Prussian awards on the lifesaving ribbon? That happens if a guy already had the lifesaving medal and did a 2nd act of lifesaving.
Such awards happened with the Allg.Ehrenzeichen, the RAO and the KO.
I found a Cavalry Colonel before WW1 who had the livesaving medal, the RAO3, KO3, both also on lifesaving ribbon and 2 turkish lifesaving awards.
Best regards
Daniel

Hi all,
thank you all for your nice and warm words, guys. Feels good, cause most of my friends aren´t really interested in my collection and i don´t know a lot of collectors in this area to discuss Orders and others. Sad to say that i haven´t much time to visit shows or collector-meetings. So i am quite happy, that i found this forum, where real profs can advise beginners of this great hobby. I have learned a lot on this site and i saw collections, that are amazing. And there are a lot of nice guys, who share their knowledge and their treasures with us. Thats great.
I have seen a part of the wonderful stuff, that you (Rick, Daniel and Claudio) have in your collections. I hope, one day i can see them all completely.
Thanks again and all the best
Gerd
PS: Yes, Rick, it is my favourite, too. I like these little medal-bars!Last edited by Gerd; 08-08-2003, 01:32 AM.
