My medals and spangen collection.

[coert65]

As most people here know, I collect medals and spangen from WW1.
But my showcase was getting way too small, so I bought 2 more, for my spangen, the other one for my single medals, all german.
The other showcase, which is now empty, will be filled with my English, French and Belgium medals, which were in a small box, because it was filled with my German medals before.

Regards, Coert.

I've just put my Belgian, French and British medals, and some other stuff, as trench art like 2 bracelets made from drivingbands of shells too.
And 2 medalboxes that were too large to fit in my German collection. Capbadges & some shoulderboards, British ones.

The 3 british medals are all named to 1 man. Next to all Belgian medals is a Hasselt kruis, the war 1830/1831. Tiendaagse veldtocht. This one is related to my family.

Very nice!
I hope to get my medals soon over from Belgium.
Got 2 BWM to Belgian agents among them. One to a guy from Brussels, and one to a women from Antwerp. The last one is quiet special to me.
If you would ask me what the best piece of the collection might be, well it is owning that particular medal!

And yet another 2-er spange is on its way to me, EK2 and Braunschweig kriegsverdienst medaille 2klasse.
This is a picture from the seller, I'll post a picture when it arrives here, in my display showcase, with it's other 2-er spangen from other states.

I keep on searching for the ones I do not have yet.

Regards, Coert.

The Braunschweig 2er spange arrived yesterday, I also bought some more at a militaria fair last weekend.

But now I need some more showcases, as another spange is on its way to me.
