By the way, the little red wire over the ribbon is my addition - with a bow to gravity.

This is bad.... These Imperial pieces are starting to interest me....

[McCulloh]

Beautiful!! I love these medals.
I read a funny story yesterday in a pre war German officer's memiors:
"There is a saying that no man can escape the death or the Red Eagle Order".

What about the case??

Hi Ralph, that's an earlier case.... now you'll have to find a "Lila" bird to go back with the case!

[Ralph A]

Yeahhhh...

...now I have a case for a rare bird... The hunt is on...

No maker mark to this chicken. I bought it specifically for use on the medalbar, and required only an "average" example.

But the info about the case is nice to have - I'll be wanting to fill it with the correct type!

Thanks for the comments, gents!
