I wonder what is in this case???????

[Tom Yanacek]

Hi guys,

I found this item today at a local gun show. It is a really nice deluxe fitted case, but i wonder what goes inside?

[Tom Yanacek]

It has a nice clasp on the front of the case.

[Tom Yanacek]

Ah, a Gebrüder Godet logo on the inside lid lining. That could be a good sign.

[Tom Yanacek]

Oh, it's just a four-place medal bar.

[Tom Yanacek]

Kinda neat though because of the two Finnish medals: the Finnish Medal of Liberty Second Class and the Finnish Medal of the Liberation War.

Here is the reverse:

And a very interesting maker logo on the back of this Hindenburg Cross. I can't recall ever seeing this maker before.

Best regards,
Tom

Thank you, Pierce. Have you ever seen that Hindenburg Cross maker before?

Best regards,

Yep, nice bar and Finnish medals are all ok. Congratulations

I have never seen that maker mark in Hindenburg - very nice!

Hi Tom,

I can see PKü which I think is Paul Küst, Berlin.

Best regards

Thank you, Pierce. You da man!

I had yet to start checking my references, so you saved me the time and trouble. And a Berlin-made Hindenburg Cross makes good sense on a medal bar assembled in Berlin.

Best regards,
Tom
