"Noone gonna get us down here!!!"

Which rational person would pay money for this! But I am a group bringer together, not destroyer!
-
OK... but this is just because I am a good guy... I went and bought the WW2 stuff as well.... overpriced compared to what the WW1 stuff cost me.....

Here are a couple for the 2nd class to the same guy....

Hi, It would be Muegge, an "Ü" is "UE" .... so he is Moogge (but a short "oo" as if the Monty Python "Knights who say NI!" were to say Moo... ) Best Chris

EK 1914 My Dead Field Marshals
Chris Boonzaier replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
If anyone has any pics of Von der Goltz wearing the EK1 and less of the "stuff around it" i would be really keen to see it. Thaks+Chris -
Man pictured is Lt d. res otto Spiehs, I.R. 32, wounded in September 1914, missing in the battle of the Marne.

I assume this is one being worn?
-
I have a Lee Metford with the following unit stamp 5 M.B.F.T. 9 My guess was "Mounted Bridage.." but taht is not a Boer war designation I know... where else could it have been? Maybe a small WW1 Unit? "5th Mounted Brigade F.T. (whatever FT is) then (weapon) 9 " ?

This little QE2 Gem.... for a soldier of the 14-18 war. I suppose the family were able to make a case....
-
Thought this may be of interest... they get to keep the EK2 although this was a few years before that was officially pushed through.

Soviet Authenticity questions
Chris Boonzaier replied to Eric Gaumann's topic in USSR: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
A question that crosses all collecting fields... at which point does "earlier model and slightly more sought after" become "Rare and worth much more" ? best Chris -
I was looking for this post... I just read something really interesting in a book written by a german soldier fighting in the Argonne. He said they made Wicklegamaschen by shortening their greatcoats, leaving them with a Tunic/Greatcoat Hybrid. It made me think of this old thread....
