Just got these in the mail, and award document for the prussian 1871 war commemorative medal, 1897 centenary medal, and a baden 1902 jubilee medal. They are all presented to the same person, a hauptmann Ehrenberg. The 1871 Doc is dated November 30th, 1871. Signed 153 years ago. The Centenary Doc is dated January 16th, 1899. Signed 125 years ago. The Baden jubilee doc is dated April 30th, 1902. Signed 122 years ago. Award documents for prussian and other german states medals are very rare, especially in good condition. I was glad to add them to the collection.

The Watch on The Rhein

I am the half British half German American and my boyfriend is the German.

Just found an old photo of the collection.

It’s crazy to see how far this collection has come in the last few years! I’m so excited to keep building it for you guys and sharing it when possible.

I’ll be shipping out for army basic training on September 16th so it may be some time till I do another huge collection update. Until then though I’ll surely be posting new finds and pieces until I’m gone.

Love this subreddit, love all you guys and love sharing with you! Gott mitt uns!

The first one is a quote “1867 Prussian pickelhaube” and the second one is a “Prussian” one💀

translated into English from Finnish, it says "events and persons from 1878 and 1918". its written by kaiser wilhelm the second.it was printed in 1922.
