iv seen come and see and personally i think its a great film!as has been said a VERY un-hollywood film! the bit with were the SS burn down the church full of people was very disturbing as was the bit where they go through an air raid int he forest!

let loose the eeerrr wiener dogs of war!!!!!!

after this auction you bet a few people are thinking the same thing!!! but actually they had been sayin gin the papers that it would go for 400k! still 360k ain't no small change!!(unless your bill gates that is!!)

ww1 MCs are normally plain on the back! but found out about a year and a bit ago that a family member of mine actually won one!! therefore i had to buy one and got one off this very site!!it really really is an amazing award when in your hand! very very simply but SO attractive! while im here anyone know a site/address for the royal fusiliers ??iv got the gazetting of my family relative from the London gazette and want to get more info on him and how he won his MC!! thanks for ANY help!!!

i SWEAR i have a picture of her in a mayday parade from 1982! il have to dig it out as iv no idea where it is but i do have it!!! very interesting picture though!!!

what a half ar$ed attempt at an ek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

min ewould be the one own!!the 800 marked S&L PLM that may or may not be pre 45 manufactor!!!

so anyone guess where noor got his new bar!!!! bad bad man!!! its a really nice bar and im glad its gone to a good home! also the eagles could well be gold! just with wash come of it!

well lets just say if you find a mg42 in ireland you better hope the people who left it there have forgotten about it!!!!!!

eeeerrrr found in a neighbours barn- was this in europe or ireland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fair enough! i guess its like the lufty close combat clasps and the navy air sea rescue badge! probably never issued but they (well the lufty close combat clasp at least!) were seen in the solbuchs etc though id love to see pics of the balloon observer badge in wear as that would clear up alot of debate on weather it actully excistes or not!! still i do like this badge as it looks pretty cool!!

ha ha ha ha love it!!!!!!!

well the numbered GABs were nevered issued war time so this is just like the ballon observers badges! also as they were never issued there would be no reason for a 57 version of it!just me 2 euros cents!

you do know that will be my 37 birthday!!does this mean it will be my 37th birthday present!! ahhhh thanks ricks your to kind!!!

well i DID pick up my combat for about E70 so not to bad! cool i guess i can still afford one!! i really like these early ones because from what iv heard they wernet give out like the mass awardings after the major victorys started to happen they were hard one(not that the later ones wernt its just that before the victorys started you had to do ALOT to get them!!)

how much are these going for nowadays as i want to get a early bravery to go with my early combat(which il post later!)

baverian bravery medal!its just plain and simply and was awarded for pretty crazy things done under fire!!

my best mates uncle was a medic in the congo and has a good lot of stuff from the time!actully intrestingly he picked up a group of medals he found in a derserted viilage and it had a good few beligum medals and intrestlying a katanga medal in it to which is quiet rare!but il see if i can get a few pics of the stuff though it might take a month or 2!!!!

i know there nice they used to be mine but noor is a bad bad man and brided me to get em!! hes better pics of the fist 2 ribbion one! http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ad.php?t=68493

oh oh me too!! id love an irish forum!!!! iv even got a few bits and pieces to show to!!!!

just saw this thread and to be honest after seeing so many fantastic groups from many a different country split up on ebay and our goverments(or any goverments in general) lack of intrest in keep irish history in ireland it really really does not surprize me at all! but as for the prices i cant see them going down anytime soon! in order to get my emergancy medal i own i had to buy it from america as the prices here are so mad!

heres a pic of the commander of the tank that killed that ship in the french campaign!
