87 years ago......

[ErichS]

Thanks everyone for contributing to our little Birthday bash on this 9th of Nov. 2010.

Rob, always great to see your fantastic BO and it's history!
Max, a complete Political award grouping, and I really like your 1st type Coburg Badge, which has an indirect connection to the events of 9.November 1923 IMO.

Great Topic -

First came the Beerhall Putsch and then the yearly parades -

Nice Horst, any Blood Orders on any of those guys?

[gauost]

Erich - sorry to say "Not a real one" but as you know Im still looking for my great uncles #1279 who took part on the 9th of Nov -

Thanks, Erich.

It's one of the nicer pieces in my collection, and due to the fact that it belonged to a SS officer with such a low SS number - not to mention I have two period photos of it in wear - it's also one of my favorites. I'm still looking for a cased second pattern and another first pattern with the original issue possession Ausweis but Jon Fish keeps snatching them up

I shall be sinking a few beers tonight thinking of those events 87 years ago

Nothing can compare to one of these for history,design and desirability.
Rather poignant that today, November 9th , I wired payment for my latest first pattern purchase.

As interested in the political history and regalia I can only say: many thanks for showing these great collectibles!

Regards, Wim

[Coburg]

Some of my treasured items.

Lovely grouping and a cracking looking Blutorden Jim. Have you replaced the ribbon though?

[Coburg]

Thanks for your comments and yes Jon, I have the original. That one is for display only

Jim

[Jon Fish]

Good, I'm glad Jim . I was not looking forward to telling you that ribbon's not correct.
