Hi Werner!

Very nice... Congratulations!!! I remember this bar... To tell you the truth I timidly bid on it, too, but I don't think that I contributed that much to increase the price. It's nice to see it in colors... I hate b&w and tiny pictures on Kube's catalogue!

Did you already find the name of this medal bar's owner, or it is quite hard to find it out?

There was another wery nice Waldeck medal bar with trapezoidal ribbons and a very scarce "Pour le Mérite" für Unteroffz. + 3 other medals (Preussisches Militärverdienstkreuz 1. Kl., EK 2. Kl. 1914, Waldeck Ehrenkreuz mit X, Waldeck Silberne Verdienstmed. mit X). Don't tell me that you got also this one...

Ciao,

Claudio

154 of those crosses, 154!!!!!!

And now, Werner, for the nightmare of trying to narrow down the recipients from the Aurengruber-published rolls.

I know... because I've tried with THIS:

Hi Claudio,

Hi Rick,

Hi Jens,
