Thanks Jon and yes both a 1st and second pattern. The 1st pattern # 626 is attributed to Franz Fuchs who was a holder of the Coburg Badge and GPB and was a member of SA Muenchen.

This here just gets better and better!! Amazing Erich, love them both!

Simply spectacular, Jon. I am glad to see that this one went into a deserving collection! The price damn near gave me a heart attack when I first saw it listed but as you say, it's not often one has the opportunity to acquire a double-digit attributed 1st pattern BO and GPB to the same individual

I think the 1st patterns are some of the most significant and truly rare pieces of 3rd Reich militaria produced, and to be honest I'd be really upset if I didn't have at least one example in my collection! I don't collect political items (well, except for NSDAP membership books to GPB recipients) but I consider my 1st pattern Blood Order to be one of the centerpieces of my entire collection.

Oh what the hell I've posted it before, but here it is again... my cased 1st pattern Blutorden #274 originally awarded to SS-Untersturmführer Otto Ertl who served as the standard bearer for the 1.SS-Standarte "Julius Schreck" and, thanks to a very good friend of mine, I have now located "two" period photos of Otto Ertl with this very blood order in wear

Here is the first shot of Ertl with this BO in wear:

And the second Thanks again to my very good friend Raymond Griffiths for finding this photo

Lovely medal Rob. I remember at the time I thought about buying that one,textbook. May I ask what the first book is? My guy Loeper had his own honour Standard after his name but I have yet to see any pictures of this.
Thanks!
