Scheiße, a month today since the auction in Germany and I've yet to see anything. Additionally, the 'mother-lode' from German is overdue too. 32 medals between sender and sendee and I can't do a damn thing about it except wait...it's enough to make you

I hate that feeling, and I've never expected 32 of anything except mosquitos!

Here's one of the medals I am waiting for...Weltblutpumpe 1916

Also, Imperial War Museum

BTW, I disagree with the description of the medal...no reason for the pumping of blood into the ground, death is pumping it out of the ground from where it was spilt...

The suspense must be killing you.

Scheiße, I've tried to write this word in English in that pooping-donkey-thread, but the forum hasn't allowed me!

And now I see it works in German, great

I know tis feeling also.
Who was the auctioneer in Germany?

Where did you find a Weltblutpumpe medal?? I've been looking for one for a long time and have never seen one offered.

Actually, I do believe the original description is accurate. The sense has always been of the waste of good men's blood, seeping into the earth ... where it has no business being.

I am suprised it is taking so long. My orders from England and Germany usually get to me here in Alaska within a week, often quicker than US senders.

Having seen alot of your other posts I am sure the wait will be worthwhile all the same.

The large packet arrived today...wet and beat to Hell but everything had been packed especially careful. I am in awe of these 22 medals which are beautifully original and with every single piece exhibiting the 'KGoeTz' edge punch...these came from a truely wonderful collection. I'll get images up as time is available....

I think I just knocked the collection up a notch...

Great to see the big package arrived.
