Rick, Super awards, I have never seen so many in one collection before, I think #14 is one of these, a Gau Nordsee Shooting award.

Thanks Guys...I try to pick one up at every MAX or SOS that i go to, they are getting tough to come by and i only see them at the bigger shows but the varity is endless and IMHO they are undervalued. Gary yes its the same as yours only my finish has come off mine (didnt realize it until i got it home and looked it over closer). G none of mine are solid silver (i wish).

Thank you both for sharing your awards. I am a bit torn between #6 and #10 as to my personal favorite. They are all quite intriguing and always most interesting to me. WOW, (had to say it) . Thanks, --dj--Joe

Hello, Beautiful items Rick. The 6the medallion you show(Dem Sieger)what is on the reverse if i may ask? I have the same item...but unfortunately it is not cased. I agree that the variety is endless with these items which makes collecting them fascinating also. I used to pick up items like this uncased but nowadays hesitate to buy them unless they are in their cases. It seems to me that in the past two or three years the prices on these items have skyrocketed. I wonder whether it's because with the growing scarcity of original combat badges etc collectors are turning towards these type of items to buy. Also can I get an idea as to how much(roughly)those NSFK cased items are going for? Again beautiful stuff. Duzig(Bill)

Bill..I will try and post photos of the backs next week, im suppose to be on my way to North Carolina today.As for the NSFK awards, at the last SOS there was a fellow that had about 5 or 6 different ones and they averaged about 500.00 apiece (cased), i think i have seen about 10 different NSFK ones an im sure there are more. The most i have ever paid for one (no.1) was 625.00 but its also the biggest one i have and i think its bronze.If i was ever to start over collecting i think this is the field i would pick, there isnt alot of information out there about them and i have seen them from 150.00 to 800.00 (cased) with the average around 300-400.

Hello again, Rick thanks much for your reply. They are certainly beautiful pieces and if they are in the 3 and 4 hundred dollar range that is quite acceptable and reasonable i think. I like these non portable items and would buy these over combat badges and the like any day of the week. They are like pieces of art in my opinion. Duzig(Bill)

Earl, Your number 7 - the Berlin SA piece; I saw a cased gold one at the 1999 or 2000 MAX in Pittsburg. Evidently there must have been bronze, silver & gold awarded. The guy's (I've forgotten who it was) asking price was $900. Beautiful but expensive. The reason I remember it is because I have a silver one like yours. Beautiful collection....

Hello again all, Since we are showing non portable items I figured I'd show a few of mine. The first is an Honor plaque for horse breeding. The second one is the fuhrer plaque,according to Angolia it was an officially recognized award given mostly to middle ranking political and state officials for special achievement. The last item I post is not a plaque or medallion per se but certainly is non portable. It is about 10 inches square,made out of slate or limestone(?)that has been polished engraved and colored and weighs approximately 13 lbs. Thanks for taking a look. Duzig(Bill)

Fuhrer plaque,this plaque was removed from the safe in the Commandants office,administration building at Furth airport by a member of the 42nd division in April 1945 as the building was still burning

Hello, Rick thanks for the comment and as you stated the variety of these items is endless and to me they are almost like a work of art,extremely well done and beautiful pieces. I'm surprised more people don't collect them(not that I'm complaining about it) as compared to other german militaria. Again beautiful items you have & would love to see more if you have them. It would be nice to see a reference book made available about these pieces. Duzig(Bill)
