Well Alex, i think if you like something, and can afford it...why not!!
And lets be honest, whats not to like about an S&L PLM!!!!!!
Interesting modification to the ribbon, and always great to have an original case!!!!

Yes Nigel, that’s also the way I see it. Although they are not all St&L made - they also include a very early interwar period Rothe and a Souval variant. Maybe I‘ll do a group picture some time. :-)

For me collecting the PLM is pretty much the same as with RK‘s.. every PLM I come across seems to have a „personality“ of it‘s own. This is what makes collecting them interesting to me. One is in mint condition, one is a super early interwar period piece, one is attached to S&L oaks, one is a thin variant, one is the thick variant, another one is a worn piece with a lot of character, a few are modified for wear with different styles of ribbon .... I think you get the picture. :-)

Alex, that is so cool...you have me by a full dozen...lol...also love the beauty of these....have a thin, a thick variety and one with gold oaks, proper 3 stripe ribbon and in an issue case....as Nigel says, like the variant with the ribbon....very nice addition....as you, am always looking but with time changes from Europe to North America, they are usually gone by the time I see them....almost....well done..!!

I see that you understand the way how these beauties should be collected :-) ..the larger number the better ... haha

I just realized I still need one with the 3 stripe ribbon and oaks. All my oak sets did come with regular PLM ribbon. You are right, the correct timing does really play a huge role when finding these. Still, I‘m sure you‘ll be able to add a few more though - keep collection them :-)

Mathijs, your missing out on a fantastic S&L produced beauty. Time to add one to your collection as well. How come you haven‘t added one already ?

Hi Marcus,

Thanks :-) . I guess I really should do a group picture of the entire PLM bunch...

Can’t seem to locate one. And when I do, they fetch prices I’m unwilling to pay.

But for a nice and complete set with a fair price ... hell yeah

Very glad I have just the one early one. They are one of the best designed awards there is. Elegant, simple, beautiful.
