Hello all,

Please do show your postcards showing the Iron Cross....anything you like!.I have a few of these but I need to dig them out and scan them all,I'll start the ball rolling with my latest examples.

Cheers

Dave

A well known card and a particular favourite of mine...

Couple more...not 1813 cards but still nice...

Very nice Jan ...ole K&Q did make a tasty cross

I still haven't heard from the German war graves. I have sent another email and this time I took the liberty of attaching the original picture to assist with making the point. (My German isn't the best even with the aid of a translation website.) I hope you don't mind Dave!!

Having said all that 'In Memoriam' would appear to be hot favourite after seeing Stephens post.

I shall update the thread as soon as I get the definitive answer from the 'horses mouth'.

Johnny

Of course I don't mind Johnny ...and many thanks for taking the time to find out what I.M. actually means!

Cheers

Dave

Superb collection and photography Marc,absolutely first rate

Dave

Nice cross ..it's an early-ish example,definitely far superior to the rubbish that has been churned out in the last few years.

109 vs Spitfire dogfight type thingy http://media.putfile.com/spitfire-vs-Me-109-dogfight

Have you got a scanner Anthony? I think a good obv/rev scan and a mega close up of the marks would be great.

Dave

Here is a bigger pic of the obverse.

Absolutely stunning example John

Dave

Could you possibly send me the full size pics,I will be able to post them larger for you.....I've sent you a PM.

Dave

Well over on the aircraft forum it got them all talking,some thought it was an La-5 and others thought it was a Yak-9 with an Ash-82FN engine and a couple got it right and identified it as a Yak-3 with an American built radial engine....apparently the plane you posted is a bit of a hybrid.

Cool looking aircraft though

Dave

Looks like you are right mate ...I need to swot up on my Russian aircraft

Hope you don't mind but I have posted your photo on an aircraft forum I'm a member of,just to see if they could ID it....is that ok?

Dave

No,I think it's an La-5.

Dave

Nice set Jan,

I've been looking for a screwback case for a coon's age.

You are not the only one Darrell mate

Jan,nice set

Dave

Very unusual! An anchor is the assay mark for Birmingham and of course 925 is usually an English silver content stamp.

Any chance of posting some close up shots of the marks and the reverse?

Cheers

Dave

Ooo,looking good everyone ..thanks for posting

Anymore?...I'm sure Allan must have a few hundred of these in boxes and packets

"First pattern" spangen with curved sides to the date plaque on ribbon bar.

I'll start with a unmarked Deumer Prinzen.

Awesome photo!!!

He must have borrowed someone's Service Visor as it seems to have a different waffenfarbe piping.

PAul

That's what I've always thought Paul,the piping seems to be black!

Dave

Thanks Dave!

Scott

My pleasure

Dave

Just posting this photo for Scott
