Simple elegance in IMHO...I love that even the simple awards look so regal in their own housing...nicely done!!

I have my grandfathers cased service medal from prior to WW1, approx. 1910 I believe. He served in Gera, Thuringen where my family came from. BTW, I'm finally going back to visit Gera after 29 years. Posted is a quick photo of a photo of him in his dress uniform. Wish I had that helmet!!!
Good luck in your pursuit of Reuss medels.

I appreciate it guys, thank you for your kind words!
Wow! Thats some family history! How do you know that he was awarded the silver medal before ww1? If that is the case, he must have earned it in the colonial campaigns...
