Peter Orincsay Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Long time now since i made an update here. I haven't stopped my collecting though... Here's the bronze medal of merit with the crowns and crossed swords on green military ribbon. This award was instituted in Hungary 1930 for those who were eligible for awards in the final years of WW1 but never was awarded because of the end of the war. The miniature on trifold was the highest award received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Orincsay Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) A few month ago I bought these three Hungarian photo-albums from another militaria collector. The albums contains more than 1400 original Hungarian WW2 military photos!! The details and quality are just breathtaking and I just started to make scans of the photos. I will share some of the highlights here later, but for now, I will start with a really interesting scene from a Soviet military attaché´s visit at the 7th Infantry regiment in the town of Kecskemét.

Peter Orincsay Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 The photo series are most likely from January or February of 1941. Hungary and the Soviet Union had still good relations. The Soviet delegation arrives to the regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Orincsay Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Peter, I think those are mortars on these pictures. Hello Sasa! Yes, of course it's mortars and nothing else! I wasn't sure of the correct English word. Here's a close-up of the photo! Cheers! Péter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Orincsay Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) A new piece in the collection. The Hungarian Order of The Holy Crown of Saint Stephen, Officers Cross. The cross on top of the crown is sadly missing. Maybe someone tried to straighten it out and it broke off?

Peter Orincsay Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 The back of the cross, 1942 - the year of the foundation of the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
