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!

righto iv had this tunic for a while but to be honest i dont know much about it apart from when i posted it last time and was told it was 1880 model of tunic!! but as im thinking of doing this as part of a trade i was wondering if any one could help!! firstly the pics are bad!!best i could do with a crap camera!! also its missing the buttons on the shoulders and one on the row of buttons going downt he front! so can any one help? it has ribbions for a madel bar and beneath it more loops for another award!so can any one help!!!!and ifo would be great!

i feel lucky that when i started collecting soviet awards it was at the start of 2000 the prices actully way better then german prices and the fakes at the time wernt as bad as the german field either!but now its no where near that now! the last thing i got was a order of glory 2nd and that was in trade! and to be honest i reckon my soviet collection could well stay where it is!!!i feel lucky though to have got my lenin foir E600 2 odd years ago!!!

wow!!!that was a fantastic bargin!!!!!love the ribbion on it!!!that shows beatiful wear and tear!!!though have to add my bargin was an order of alexander nevsky for ?120 irish pounds in 2002!!!!!

thanks for the info!!!id never heard of the post ww1 baverian gov awarding combat awards for friekorps actions! (thats just me though!!)

just as an update for this pin on a another forum someone said this http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=131872 iv personaly n ever heard of this!could it be true?? any update would be cool!

it does still amaze me how people still think that they can pick up a VERY rare award for a fraction of its real price of a dealer!! how pi$$ed would you be to find you just wasted 8.5k on a lump of crap!!!!!

the first are pilots wings not sure of the next is i think the militery mert cross next long service maybe? next is a blue div medal for spanish volenteers fighting on the eastern front, last is the spanish civil war medal(not sure of its full name!) awarded to conor legion soldier to! nice set!!!!sorry i cant be more helpful!

ah dang!!!ah not to worry!!!il post a pic of the back!!!

managed to snag this on another forum!! ( ) and i was wondering if it might be traceable? for me the intresting thig is that for one iv never seen a baltic cross on a stick pin and also how come with the 2nd and 3rd awards was there no iron cross 2nd? maybe on a button hole??? but i was just wonder if it might be research able? if not well i wont be crying either!!!!thanks for any help!

very very intresting!!i like it very much!

now THAT is weird yet COOL citatian!and to think it nearly got melted down never to have been know!!!!imagine what else has gone into the pot1!

what these little old things!!!!

i think the cross itself is the prussian war cross!oh and i got the bar off stogieman and he IDed the medals for me but of course i deleted the mail!(thats how clever i am! ) thanks again!

and the cross! any help is fantastic!

ok iv a nice old stlye bar that was stripped of medals(theres hooks on the back) and want to put it back together"just wondering does this cross go with the last ribbion?also what is the first ribbion?any help would be fantastic! thanks again

im not sure they are the same!look at the enamel inth ered circles!there does seem to be a difference!!
