(F692) A cased Set of Awards from WWI consisting of two first war Iron Crosses 1914, one being convexed and the other flat backed. Both the crosses have nice cores and it would appear that the convexed one was the one worn as there is slight powder rusting to the centre crown and date. This is only really apparent on the case, as it has stained the silk more than it shows on the cross. The convexed cross is also pin marked but I cannot read it. Then there is the Prussian Centenery Medal for 1897, an Iron Cross 2nd class, a Fredrich August Bravery Medal and a Fredrich August King of Saxon Sergeant Bravery Medal, large size. These are all set into a maroon coloured case, with a blue silken inner lid and blue lift out base, with cut outs for the awards. To the base of the case, there is a Urkunde for the Fredrich August Medal and a piece of ribbon for one of the medals. A very unusual set, probably for an NCO. All in all, very good condition considering the age.

(G631) A very nice Wehrpass set of items belonging to one individual who served throughout WWII. The grouping consists of his Dog Tag, which is numbered 1./N.8.220. This denotes the man was an army signaller. The Wehrpass that accompanies this has the corresponding dog tag noted and shows some high wear and use. The wehrpass shows service from 1935 right through until 1945 and the back has an HQ allied land forces Norway Int.G2 division, initial screening past stamping to the reverse. The wehrpass is well filled out and no attempt at denazification has taken place, although a couple of stampings have had the swastika's removed. The man started out as a Grefreiter and ended up as a Hauptmann. The Wehrpass is very hard to read as most are, but it is well filled in. The list of decorations read as follows;- 1st October with Prague Bar, War Merit Cross 2nd class, Winter War Medal, Infantry Assault Badge in silver, Iron Cross 2nd class, Iron Cross 1st class, War Merit Cross 1st class, Black Wound Badge, and Lappland Shield.

This is unmounted but in good condition. All in all, a superb group to a brave soldier that survived the war.
