This is a quick reference index to Imperial German medal guides that are available on eBay, written by eBay members.  Much of this information has not been documented in English and the intent is to provide an introduction to those who are interested in Imperial German medals.  Note that this guide does not include any awards by the various German states, they are listed in other indexes to guides (which are specific to the state).  If you know of a guide that you believe should be included, please let me know.

Medal collecting can be very specific and the above guides are intended as an introduction.  Expert advise is often needed since the guides can not address every possible question - especially about a specific medal you may be looking at.  Please visit my blog (http://blogs.ebay.com/tsa-li) and/or guides for further information.  Thank you for your visit!
