i reckon(and its only me now) that the reason these are for the most part missing there medals is cos the owners might have dicede that going back to the normal ribbions and toke the medals off the plastic ribbions! still very nice all thje same!!

i know that the germans did help arm the irsih rebellion in 1916 etc and that i think they also helped the ira in ww2 to start a bombing campigian on the british mainland but intrestling when the germans tryed to recruit/start a irish ss division the recruiter were beatin up and thrown out of the camps!! i saw that british programme on the free korps and it was very intresting as they were pretty much kept away from any fighting and they were more of a burdin then anytthing else! one guy did partisapated(?) in the battle of berlin but was killed! i read a great book called jackels of the reich again all about the brit free corps!!

iv one or two of these hook bar well bars and they dont have medals and i plan to find medals that are missing there ribbions and only missing there ribbions to make them whole again! i reckon that alot of these medals of this era that are missing there ribbions are missing them because they have been removed from bars like this! plus they look i think so much better with the medals on them!

the hartman 109 plane is a limited edtion bird sadly! mine is 199 out of 2000 but thats why its so expesive! when i saw it i just HAD to have it!! and yup you can do all that stuff!!! great to have actuly you can have great "dogfights" when theres no one around!!!

i got these in a model shop the 109 was dear it was 139 euros but the p51 was 79 and yeah its a pain displaying them as they are so big but they rock!!!

if you want more pics!! no bothor!!

in "flight"!!! this is another sweet model! you can take off the gun slats and see the guns and ammo!!! gotta love it!!!

right well i saw the cool other thread on the 1/72 planes so heres my big scale models!!!! first up we got eric hartmans plane from 1944!!! its limited edition number 199!! all good!!

would love to get one of these medals! nice collection!!

its amazing JUST a few months ago the average price for a black and tan medal was about 250 euros!! now after a biG auction of easter rising stuff the price has just sky rocket out of here!!!! i should have bought one when it was 90 irish pounds!! ah well you live and learn i guess!!

should these be engraved on the back or are they just left blank?great medals though!!

yeah heard they were pretty hard to find!!!

anyone have a first class one there at all?? or am i hoping for to much!!! il post mine when i get pics together!!

another way is to simply open the pic right click and click on edit then that brings you into paint and then on the top click on the image option then simply click on strech and screw! thats how easy it is!

its easy to see from what countrys these medals for the most part are based on!! great pics!!!

ha ha ha ha very very true!!!

chances are quiet high that it will be a repo as most of those medals are in collections here in ireland!!oh well!!!!

to be honest id want to see the medal in myy hand before id pay that sorta money!!!!!
