Ich bin sprachlos... I am collecting since 1986, but I never saw such beautiful medal bars before... well at least the ones which weren't published on catalogues. Very impressive collection... Do you have some more??? Don't tell me...

Rick Lundstrom has some photos of bars that i have-perhaps he can stop digging out the snow banks for a minute or two and post them?
Cheers,
