    1. It's good to see this thread still going. I do not post anymore because i do not collect anymore and i have not purchased anything new in a long time. Still nice to see the new images though. Cheers,Martin.
    2. It's a good but well worn tombak Schwerin. The condition is not that great but it is original. Cheers,Martin.
    3. Thank you Justin and you are welcome. I can't remember if i posted this one but it is a recently aquired photo of some STIER crewmen taken in Bordeaux. Cheers,Martin. Justin, your collection of Wappen is outstanding. Cheers,Martin.
    4. Ludolf Petersen served on the Hamburg-America freighter "Kiel",which broke the British blockade in 1939. He went on to serve as a prize officer on the "Lutzow" and "Admiral Scheer". He then served as a prize officer on the Hilfskreuzer "Pinguin",and made it back to Bordeaux where he bacame the 1st officer on the "Stier". Hence his awards. I have a bunch of documents and photographs of crewmen from the "Stier". Cheers,Martin.
    5. Hi Michael, here are a couple of pages from Dad's Certificate of Service. Looks like he enlisted in March 1948 and no mention of service in Malaya. Cheers,Martin.
    6. Thanks for the replies. Dad was in the 1st RTR in Korea,service number 22202939. I will try to access the links provided above. Again,thank you for your help. Cheers,Martin.
    7. Hi gents, hoping for a little help here. My dad passed away back in February.His medals always hung in a frame on the living room wall.He served in Korea and spent over 20 years in the reserves. However,when cleaning out draws at the home in England i was able to find his "Certificate of Service" book. Inside the book i found a ribbon bar with the GSM ribbon on it,but dad never had a GSM on his medal bar. I am back in California now but this has me confused and i am wondering if there is any way i can find out if dad was awarded the GSM ? is there a contact number for the MoD perhaps. Any help woud be appreciated. Thanks,Martin.
    8. Hi Cuck, i do not have the badge anymore but i posted it another forum many years ago and the more knowledgable members in regards to Wound Badges declared it to be a Deumer Product. Regards,Martin.
    9. I think 650 euro is a decent price. Just looked at a couple of examples for sale on a friends' Canadian website. Both are in similar condition to the one above and are selling for 595-655 USD. he had another nice boxed example that was going for 1190.00 USD. Cheers,Martin.
    10. I still have a great interest in the hobby Morten. At my ripe old age i just do not buy so much anymore. I still have a fine collection and i am perfectly happy with that. Thank you all and best wishes. Martin.
    11. Although i do not collect much any more Morten,other than Hilfskreuzer related photo's , i still check in and enjoy the images that are being posted here. Keep it up gents. Cheers,Martin.
    12. Verwaltungsmaat. I picked up this photo for the HK award but the Administative specialy badge is definately a bonus. Cheers,Martin.
