    misc items

    Just got these from the son of a vet. Can someone help me identify the less obvious pieces and value for each?

            2 is a Prussian Fireman's commemorative medal (for 25 years did it say?).
            3 is a sweeeet Baltic Cross, awarded just after WW1 (for Freikorps actions, I believe). Nice award!
            Thanks,
            Eric Gaumann

              wow!

              The REAL star of this lot is middle left-another Freikorps award, much rarer than the Baltic cross.
              Interested in selling perchance?

                Yes, Jeff is absolutely right, the best find in this lot is the "Bew******228;hrungsabzeichen V. Armeekorps".

                The Baltic Cross is nice too.

                Nice find!

                  I would like to give a translation for the name of the badge, but i am not sure. What means "Bewährungsabzeichen" in English?

                  Probation badge for the 5th Army Corps?

                      I would translate "bewahrungsabzeichen" as "Hard-earned award". It doesn't really translate into english'-"to show ones' mettle, prove oneself through adversity' etc.

                      Vernon -10 years ago thought the Baltic cross was $65 and the Vth Corps badge was $100. I would add 35%-50% to those numbers. I see Baltic crosses for $100-$125 and the Vth Corps would go for more-but my guess is $150 would be fair.
