Poulton Palmer

This afternoon I went for a little walk with my wife and my 4 year old daughter.

On the first picture you can see a nice concrete bunker. I think it's German according the building style and especially the placement of the entrance and the front of the bunker (view: more or less towards Ypres, entrance: away from Ypres).

Here are two of mine.

Poulton.

Hi nice bar! Indeed Waldeck is relatively hard to find. I don't have any yet. Nice combo with the LW LS.

Congrats and greetings from Bruges,

Hi guys,

what do you think of this medalbar?

(I am sorry for the pictures but couldn't get them larger unless poor quality)

If original: do you think it is researchable??

Greetings,

Poulton

need help with this translation

thanks

Hi guys,

Concerning the first page of the first post: Hucks216 is right: in your specific situation, the cost of the datasearch is 16 euros.

Second page, first post:

On your request I confirm you that the personal papers (Wehrpass, Wehrstammbuch, Stammrolle) of Mr Müller are not present here, they are presumably destroyed in the war.

Out off the data that we have, we can confirm:

I presume the rest you can deduct yourself???

Second post, first page:

According statement from 1/9/42: NCO

It is known here that the concerning person has survived the war. Mr M. lived in 1955 in etc.

I hope to have helped you.

Please take a look at our bill.

Per page is it 8 euros.

Etc

Second post, second page:

is clear off course.

Hi Dave and TacHel,

thanks for your input. I think the conclusion is right!

I am very happy with the spange which I bought from a fellow GMIC member.

Hi Chris,

this is a nice jacket! I don't know much about this kind of collectionables but I like to see tunics from such highly decorated soldiers!.

I do have a question. This is an officers' jacket of GD, isn't he supposed to have shoulder boards with the initials GD on them?

Greetings,

Poulton

Good day to everyone!

I just took another look at these bars and I saw that they were withdrawn from the auction by the seller. Are they sold to someone after negotiating directly? Or something else? Strange.

Hi Paul,

ornate they are indeed, but genuine? I was looking at the biddings on these two and the prices were already very high. Probably they are indeed genuine?

Pictures of the back are not available.

Poulton

Hi guys,

I just bought this new ribbon bar. I am happy with it. What do you think about it?

Greeings from Flanders,

Hi guys,

I just saw these on german ebay. If they are real they must be of highly decorated officers. I think they are real fakes off course. But I am not an expert. There are people here on the forum with great knowledge about these kind of ribbon bars. Can you please look if I am right? And why are these fakes, where to look at (for me it is more or less a gut feeling).

Greetings from Flanders,

Hi Christophe,

congratulations with such a nice ribbon bar! Where do you keep finding them!

Poulton

Gutentag Dete,

this is superb! ich bin eifersüchtig! I am looking everywhere to buy such a bar but I think I don't look at the right places!! If someone has some spanges for sale, you can pm me.

And Paul has the name of the owner! this is simply a dreambar!

Wow, nice collection! Thanks for sharing this. Were there any medalbars present?

Greetings poulton palmer

Hi are my FA medals,

they come in three varieties as you can see.

The one above has a goldlike finish, the middle one is silver and the two in the bottom are bronze.

Don't know the difference between them.

That seller, orehilas321 , is a well known seller of questionable items. He has several ebay handles.

Hi Don,

nonetheless, he has a 100% rating. Very tricky for starting collectors to divide the good sellers from the bad. I agree fully with Hauptmann his answer: study, study and study!

I have bought a few bad pieces myself in the last few years, but I see this as learning money (unfortunately).

Hello Paul,

very nice ribbon bar, congrats!

Hi guys,

lately I have seen lots of these Kreuze on german ebay (see link below). This seller has got the four different types. Unfortunately for the buyers, these are fake imo. Last week I have seen one sold for about 140 euro, that is lots of money for such a fake piece.

I have seen fakes been sold last year, these were of a lower quality. That were obvious fakes. The ones which are sold this last weeks are of a much better quality, but still fakes which are recognisable.

Bought these four pieces, a collector thinning out his collection. Left to Right - Wehrmacht Army Service Medal for 18 years on Ribbon - Kraftfahrer's Silver Badge - Legion Condor Wound Badge Set : Black Legion Condor Wound Badge with a matching miniature.

I have to congratulate you with your outstanding collection!!! The way you display them is superb!! Like Brian said: I am inspired by it to present my medal collection like that.Thanks for sharing,greetings from Poulton.

One of my favorit items in the museum:

but these two will do fine also:

These are the last pictures, hope you like them!!

Greetings, Poulton.

Original mapcase from General Hasbrouck.

This is also a real beauty!!

Would this all be original belongings from Adolf Galland?

Great collection off helmets!!
