Holy F... that is an impressive amount of bling. Very nice. The FJO is a very beautiful order only second to my favourite: the iron crown.

Hallo Peter,

nice to see further, important additions to your collection.

I think that your MMTO cross showed in the post #501 actually is lot nr. 10 from the 1st Fattovich sale (I suppose that from the ribbon and cross's details). If so, I congratulate, because I know it very well and it's a superb piece.

More I need to congratulate for the beautiful group of FJO decorations, from djn!

All the best,

Enzo (E.L.)

Hi Enzo!

Many thanks again for Your kind comments!
You are right, it's the "Fattovich"-collection-piece...

Kind regards, Peter
p.s. Have You already seen the new book from Stefan Rest's Militaria Verlag?

[Elmar Lang]

Hello Peter,

so, I was right, regarding your beautiful MMTO Ritterkreuz.

Yes, I have the books already and I need to say that it is a superb work, well worth its price. Let's wait for the second part, devoted to decorations...

Good to hear that, Enzo! I will report that to the authors. The second part could be published in about one year, but it will depend on how the first part will sell, I assume. As far as I know it was (regarding the costs) the most expensive of all books published by "Militaria Verlag" so far...

Best, Peter
