          Hi Tony,

          I misplace that kind of boxes also all the time
          Any chance of closeups and backsides of the first left top row and fourth of the top row?

          Kind regards,
          Michel

            Thanks Ed and Ross! I appreciate your kind comments.

            I like them and have been very fortunate to have found them in my collecting travels.
            I realise they are copies. Some are prewar but the '39 Souval GC at the bottom center as well as the H'stern on the lower right are postwar. What the heck.
            All the awarded GCs are accounted for and will never be on the market.

            Tony

              Good question. I don't really know. It's a smsller size cap(?) wreath or a lapel or sleeve patch perhaps. Maybe someone on the forum can shed more light on it.

              Here's a couple of close up pics.

                It happens at times when you have a senior moment. I'm just happy to find them again.

                Anyway...here's a few pics for you. I display a second 1870 GC reversed as a place holder for a 1813 example which I do not have, yet. This core is one of the award type and may have been rejected for minor flaws and hence made into a display copy.

                These were hard enough to acquire over the years.

                  Aw crap! Maybe some one would be so kind as to rotate them. Thanks!
