Oh , thats nice to hear . i've been searching a lot about the service cross "train" , but i couldn't find annything. Maybe he worked on i train, dont know . The seller Sayed that it belong to the "old" man on the photo and the rest is his family .

Hi and welcome to the forum , I think your medal group and documents are nice originals. I love the addition of the train to the service ribbon ,I have never seen that before but I think it is completely correct!! A very nice set , Leon.

That would fit as he is wearing Reichsbahn collar tabs.
Both medals appear to be original. Also, at a quick glance, so does the document.

That train doesn't belong to the cross I'm afraid. Maybe the recipient pinned it on

Maybe what I should have said was correct to the recipient being a rail worker and "personalised". Sorry , Leon.

Do me a favor and post a clear, head-on photo of the stamp on the Ostmedaille document.

I see hehe . I read the Sellers auction and its says - German original medal for 25 years of service in the case and the original word document issued in 1942 related to an official from the German Reichsbahn. Although the original photo of this person and his family appear in the collection. The entire collection is in superb nice condition and the document that is in the size 30 x 21 cm has never been folded or punched. A complete set for your Collection-- (googletranslate) =)
