Numizz,
I can help on all but the last one....can't see it and don't recognize the ribbon....(not in any of my handi referance books)

Anyway.... (Values in US Dollars)

1. 1914-1918 Honor Cross w/swords......$10/15.00 (No ribbon)
2. Iron Cross 1914 2nd Cl. ................ $65./90.00
3. Austrian WW 1 Service medal.......... $12./18.00
4. 1916 War Help medal ................... $20./30.00
5. 1914-1918 Honor Cross w/out swds... $14./20.00
6. Hungarian WW 1 Service medal....... $12./20.00
7. Unknown ?

As you can see, most are pretty common in the collecting world....hopefully the unknown medal will be alittle "better".... (Values are IMO, what "range" I'd ask if I were selling them at my flea market....

Hello,

thanks for your answer. I found infomation about last medal:

http://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/deutsc ... -1916.html

Interesting, that is Grand Dutchy of Hessen medal.

Nice referance thread....thanks. The majority of your medals (3, 4, 5, 6, & 7) were all mounted on a medal bar at one time, that's why the double "rounded/furled" ribbon mounts....(furl should be on the bottom, like #4 & 5)... these would be mounted & sewn onto a metal bar for "dress"/parade wear. There is an order these would go in on the bar....(but the Iron Cross wasn't mounted and the H.C. w/swds has no ribbon and the H.C. w/out swds. is "mounted" (Only one would be worn on a bar)....

My guess is the Iron Cross & H.C. w/swords were "one guys" (?), and the other 5 came off a medal bar.... the Hessen War Honor medal; 1916 Prussian War Help; Honor Cross w/out swds.; Austrian WW 1 Serv. medal; and Hungarian WW 1 Serv. (in that order)....A non-combattants array but nice.

The Hessen medal was "valued" so no need for my opinion on that....
