A few things have found their way into my collection since the last update..

First off a Reuss silver merit medall with swords..

[Blitz]

Reverse..

[Blitz]

And the medall in it's case. These were awarded to native Reuss privates and corporals for bravery, so it's basically their ek2.

[Blitz]

The lid.

[Blitz]

And now a bigger case.. It was custom made for me in merry old England by tony Yeomans to house my Baden Zähringer Löwen order crosses or OZL's.

[Blitz]

The contents.. ..Golden 14 carat 1st cl. RKs in the top and silver 2nd classes with the bronze merit crosses at the bottom. The empty spots are for the commander crosses witch I don't have, yet.
