just wondering what would a major arty of the Gebirgsjäger have as a ribbon bar? i was also wondering was there many majors of the GJ in general? its for a tunic iv got on layaway and looks like it has a ribbon bar for a 5/6 place ribbon bar!or would the bar be a pure ww2 bar as oppose to a ww1/ww2 bar? any help would be great!!! :beer:

ok play the devils advocate and say this,personnel i thought putting in on a bank holiday weekend might have been a bad idea in the fact that many people would have gone away because of this, also was the Irish medal society asked to pass on the date of the show to its members? also did the organizers contact any of people who organized the shows like the northstar or teachers clubs as they would know many Irish collectors, i thought also that to get people interested flyer's could have been put around places were collectors would have been(even just photocopies),(hell if id known and been asked i would have passed them out myself!) like in antique shops where the northstar organizers have put there flyer's or around colleges where students with an interest in Irish history would see it, how about putting an event notification on facebook? again had i know i would have made the event up on my profile and past it around! (i only found out at about 9 the night before when another mate told me he was going to it!)again if id known i would have sent an important event like that on to my friends who do work for student bodies and know the professors etc! there are plenty of ways to get events known without just relying on the national press!

i went to it and while it was good it was very under advertised and it was expensive enough to get in! about E5,

I also happen to know the son of this paratrooper!! ;-) This is a pretty amazing group and its only the tip of the iceberg!!!

yeah its weird but i picked up a named africa star and i got it for E10 less then the non-named ones that we on sale from the same dealer!!!!

aahhh iv heard of that!! still nice though!!!!!i can do more detailed pics no problem at all!!!might have to bring out the rest of my name campaign stars so!!! :beer:

thanks michael didnt know that!!!!i thought you were entitled for just in the service at the time!

heres a question! going by the research there shouldnt he have the 39-45 medal and the 39-45 medal!!!

not being a mean person il post this for ed!!!! hers my named Atlantic star with the research for it!!! i got it off our very own forum member Christian L!! hope you like it!!!! :beer:

this is what i consider miltaria porn!!!!!! i LOVE the MC!!not only do i own one but a relative of mine won one in north africa in ww2!! i LOVE your one as its in lovely shape and cased!!! iv been toying with the idea of cleaning mine but reckon il leave it!! sweet catch!!!! :beer:

thats great to see that they moved it to another barracks! with our government im actually surprised they didnt try and sell it for scrap!!!! pity about the longford barracks though!!thanks for the pics :beer:

yup thought it was Austrian! looks very similer!! lesson learned though!!!! :beer:

il take a shot! ww1 Austrian observer?

id say that retired navy pilots badge is damn rare!!!!!!!!

jimmy bradshaw! iv sent him a good few medals and everything been above board!!!hes repaired everything from IAB to RKs and DCiG and plenty of british medals!!!i can send you a link to his profile on WAF!

cool dont like seeing bars taking apart!! ;)

nice job but you should leave the other bar alone!!!!!!

so basically he uses a pic of another cross and dosnt say it in his sale thread! that cant be right can it? im sure if you said this to ebay they might have words!!!

well he says hes semi retiring so he might well stil be round!but yeah the recession is starting to hit everyone in dublin!! theres only a guy in georges street shopping arcade left and he only does a tiny amount of medals! thing i have noticed is that the prices at the fairs have been going up but the numbers going to the fairs are down!!!!!

ah i know but still not bad for nothing!!! !but yeah in Ireland alot of people say the same thing!i think the joke is to win the 1st class you have to die twice to win it!! :ninja:

these both used to be mine i figured noor would enjoy em more! the 2nd bar has certainly had the 2nd ribbon added! the stitching on the back is different from the other ribbons!haven't a clue as to WHY it would have been added though!!

how did you get a 1st class??? there probably one of the rarest awards ever made and has been said have never been awarded!!!!!!

Noor ALWAYS has a good WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer:

love em!!! :beer:

from what iv also gathered the crosses with a finely detailed/engraved flat wide coke bottle pin system were made in the 50/ and 60s to!nice pieces!! :beer:
