Freikorps Eiserne Division Medal

Good Morning, Friends...
I've come across this Freikorps Eiserne Division Medal...Somewhat on the "Salty Side" - arriving from Germany a few days ago...
I removed the surface-dirt with Rubbing-Alcohol and a Toothbrush...Now I need the Black Ribbon w/White Borders...
I hope you like it...My Eiserne Division Grouping is coming along great, one piece at a time...

cheers, Glenn

nice medal not often seen.

Nice find. I have always avoided these as fakes abound. I have never
studied them enough to know a good one from a bad one.

Bolewts58 has only a few posts on this forum, but is active on the GMIC Forum and especially in the Freikorps section of the WAF, where he has posted many remarkable items from his extensive Freikorps collection. His comments should be taken seriously.

That is so true. He may not be very active here but he is very well respected on other forums.

Well it's been a hard Saturday on Glenn, but we are all here to learn and share. The truth is often painful, but it is still the truth.

I look forward to seeing some of Bolewts58 collection and welcome him to the forum.

Thanks for the helpful input, it's appreciated and I don't mind being corrected ... Problem is that in several cases mentioned by our friend, practically all of the online sources, sellers, and several books list contrary -or out of date- information...That leaves us with not much to go on in this area of collecting...I'm just glad I didn't pay much for any of them...

cheers, Glenn
