Here we go... ACB = "Arm?ns Centrala Bekl?dnadsf?rr?d", army's central clothing storage. Cheers, Stefan

BTW - I got some nice helmets for your uniform /S

Hello, I belive your uniform is a m/39-58. In 1958 they added pockets on the back of the jacket and on the trousers. That's why the colour is different on your trousers. Also the arm pit was altered and the end of the trousers. I'll see if I can find what "ACB" stands for. Sweden had a couple of 100-thousands soldiers along our borders during WW2. The uniform could be pre-WW1 models up to the latest & greatest m/39 Cheers, Stefan

Hi! Here it is in a group that was sold at http://www.auktionsverket.se/ ("Kataloger" --> "Vapen och Militaria" --> item 5499). Regards, Stefan

Thanks for your reply Dan. Yes, I also don't belive it's an EK from 1813. It's more a combination of the C3 and C4 crosses in Heyde's book. I belive that the outer rims of the 1813 made EKs didn't have that shape, it should be more like the C4 EK, if I've understood the manufacturing right. Now when I've studied the bump a bit more, I think it's some sort of repair at the back of the ring. I'll see if I can take some photos next weekend. Tom: Great to see another cross. Keep 'em coming Regards, Stefan

Hi, since I had my early 1813 EK2 questioned at another forum I thought I could see what you guys think. It's regarding the "bump" on the eylet and the upper finger. It's clearly seen on the Tony's cross. Is that a sign of a bad cross? The pictures in the EK books I have (Heyde, Bowen, Previtera) don't show any examples, from what I can see, except Bowen that has a EK from a german army museum with a large bump. This is my other 1813 EK2 on the attached pictures. I sent it to Nimmergut and got it described as an early EK from 1813. I will now send it down to Detlev for a 2nd opinion... Cheers, Stefan

Hello! Here's my wide 1813 EK2 to compare with. It's from late 1835-39 production. It's very worn. Width: 42.2 mm Height: 42.9 mm Finger widths: 25.1-25.6 mm /Stefan

Here are some more pictures... /Stefan

Well, let's see when I get it home. I won it today Cheers, Stefan

Thanks Kevin! I only have that book from 2003/2004 and without its picture. If you have time...can you send me a scan of it, so I can see how similar it is? Cheers, Stefan

I almost forgot... Stamped on back is GODET BERLIN and number 938. 938 must be the silver? /Stefan

Here are some better pictures. I think I've seen it on some German uniform - could it be a Freikorps medal as Rick says? Cheers, Stefan

Thanks guys! I hope to get better pictures soon... /Stefan

Hello! Can anyone help me out with this one? I've asked for better pictures... Cheers, Stefan

I bought mine above for 125 EUR, so I guess 200 USD is a good price...not knowing the price of the Turkish medal itself. BR, Stefan

Thanks Rick /Stefan

Close-up of the signature...

Hello, I have an Urkunde signed by the Korvettenkapit?n and kommander ("Chef") of the 6. Torpedobootsflotille. Dated 5th of April 1939. I found these "Flottillenchefs" names: April 1939 Kvtkpt. Waue M?rz 1940 Kvtkpt. Marks Mai 1940 Kptlt. Hartenstein ...but I can't match Waue to the signature. Anyone got a decent reference book for this? Regards, Stefan

Very nice group Gordon! :-) Sk?l, Stefan
