Re: blood order Thanks Steve
Re: blood order Perhaps you are that lucky then David
I did not comment as I know very little about them
all I do know is a very well respected dealer and colleague of mine got his fingers burnt on a superb copy.
I'm pleased for you mate, really am. What with the JFS's you seem to fall in roses the whole time
Cheers
John
When 'arf of your bullets fly wide in the ditch,
Don't call your Martini a cross-eyed old bitch;
She's human as you are you treat her as sich,
An' she'll fight for the young British soldier
When you're wounded and left of Afghanistan's plains,
An' the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle an' blow out your brains,
An' go to your Gawd like a soldier." - Rudyard Kipling
Re: blood order Dave, the "800" stamping is correct for a type 2, type 1 had "990" content, I fully understand your logic behind revealing the number (a small number, inc Hitlers had no number! it is believed Hitlers recieved a #1 after the demise of Roehm !), I assumed it is a type 2 because, a) you did not mention the mm "J Fuess Munchen" which is only on the rim of a type 1 and b) the turned down section of the eagles beak is shorter on a 2. I did own an original back in the late 80's, when i collected TR pieces, so I researched it as best as I could back then (pre-internet days!)....this medal is heavily faked, with well over 50 odd known fakes varients around ! i believe around 4,200 were awarded.

Re: blood order Hi Steve, yes you are correct it is a type 2
Re: blood order Dave, those photographs are better...outstanding quality medal ! I dont quite understand what one of the contributors has stated " Early second pattern" to me it is either 1st or 2nd pattern/type.....Oh well, I am not a member of that forum so I guess i'll never know.
