Andy, sent you a PM

This by the looks would have been issued to a 'deceased' soldier.........well it's a theory of mine which I will not elaborate on for now, but some of these written on packets like as above will be for a KIA soldier along with the certifaicate sent to the 'family'. It's just a admin thing no to pay any special heed to it, but I like them like this.

Why ? Alot of KIA have the details or name etc on the packet........theres more to it, but along the lines of this to an extent.

The packet is genuine as is the medal in my opinion, I wouldn't have paid more than $50 dollars buts that's just me and means nothing. I see no reason at all to demand any more money for it, matching or otherwise......again, my personal view point.......because prices and getting rediculous even for the likes of this ! If someone wishes to pay that money.......all the the better for the seller and good luck to you.

I would have kept it. A very nice pair

Hi Marcus,
you're totally right;
I liked this medal too but the reason why I sold it is that I have another one, and I wanted some money for other stuff. So as my other Ostmedal belongs to a grouping of the same soldier (Wehrpass - EK2 - Ostmedal), this one had to go.
$95 is alot of money for this indeed, but hey, you don't hear me complaining

You were right tyanacek, I got $95 for this in a Belgian auction

Congratulations Tim!
Best regards! Tom

Get what what you can for it, somebodies (the buyer) happy my friend.....I didn't mean any criticisim towards you.

Get what you can, an auction is an auction bidders volition.

By all accounts it is a nice packet and a piece of history
