I thought it was an appropriate description LOL . In the display case next to it were 4 dog tags and a wound badge and some buttons? I assume they all came from the same estate. The interesting thing is the dog tags. What I was wondering is if WW1 prussian pilots wore dog tags? I was looking at these and tring to make them out but I am totally lost. I don't know anything about WW1 Prussian items. I assume the observer badge is fake as the always are and the last one and only one I bought for allot of money was a fake that is why I stopped collecting this stuff. In any case the dog tags are really neat I am just wondering if anyone knows how to read them or if there is a place to look them up? I looked on the internet and there is not allot of information on them. I don't know if you call them Id Discs or dog tags? It would be interesting to know what type of soldier wore them or what unit he was in? I wonder if people return them to the families of the soldiers? Even if they are not worth a whole lot I think they are really cool as a historical item.
    4. Dear Stogieman, Do you know if C E Juncker marked their observer badges with a cresent moon, 800 and a crown on the back? I saw a hollow cast one today with the sun ray back and it had around pin with the veritcle mounted observer face mounted towards the pins lengthy. I was just wondering if you know where there are any examples on these forums because you seem to be the leading only expert here that knows what he is talking about. I wish I had a photo to show you but have they had any discussions about the prussian observers by Junckers? I can't find anything here.Thank you for your time and have a good evening.
    5. How did you find this amazing group. You should offer it to the Stockholm Army museum I bet they would pay big money for it or even try Probus Auktioner in Stockholm.
