I could not pass it up! The medal has not arrived yet. It is listed to be 60 x 65 mm! By Paul Huybrechts Report this Post to the Staff

t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 08/16/2007 8:02 pm From the link I posted (below the picture), it looks like only 10 impressions were made but maybe you can still buy it direct from Paul Huybrechts (75 euros + 10 euros postage). His email is listed here http://www.medailles-paulhuybrechts.be/collega.htm I bought this one for 80 euros from Heidrun Höhn in Leipzig, Germany, mainly because she takes paypal. It was listed on ma-shops.com. She might still have some others. Heidrun Höhn's contact info is here: http://www.muenzauktion.com/hoehn/c...php5?lang=en Edited by t360 08/19/2007 7:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 08/19/2007 7:49 pm quote: By the way, Heidrun is a woman's name. I thought this might be the case, but I wasn't sure. I changed the post above. Thank you for this information. Technically the original post was still correct, since "he" is the traditional gender-neutral pronoun in English.
