    1. First off, sorry about the spoils but these are so nice I dont want them lifted before I decide how to use them... Some original postcard size artwork from a well known German Postcard designer and graphis designer.... Hope you find them as cool as I do!!!!!
    2. on the 8th of December he had Rifle Bullet wounds in the Ribs, in XXX and the spine. Does it then say he spent the 8th until 10th "Auf dem FeldX" before travelling top the field hospital on the 10th? Thanks Chris
    3. Check this out! ;-) http://www.ebay.de/itm/Doppel-Etui-Eisernes-Kreuz-box-iron-cross-Weltkrieg-Orden-Ehrenzeichen-Abzeichen-/231933107514?hash=item36004a5d3a:g:TF8AAOSwn9lXKdr-
    4. Ages ago some of these were posted. apparently OK, but a niche in the market.
    5. Hmmm... I wonder if he is a lumberjack on his off days? :-) Fantastic uniform, I think one of the really iconic and instantly recognisable uniforms in the world.
    6. Hi, I was happy to get this this week :-) Cost a bomb in trade... but me happy....
    7. Hi, thats fantastic, an example of rushing to get him the award before he dies. I have a similar group, officer dying of a bad face wound in 1914... they tripped over thenselves to award him the EK2, bavarian MVO4th class and Zähringer Löwen before he died. Also another nice example of a XI Korps doc, the earliest ones are all from early 1916, many for awards made from 1914.
    8. Hah... you have too much time on your hands!!
    9. In retrospect i dont think they used to have any with the big EK on it. I shoulda realised it when i had them in my hands for the first time but I did not look closely. i bought a box of 10... I use them to keep loose badges and groups in now.
    10. I realise these are long shots..... They are Prussian, Saxon then Bavarian
    11. Hi, Does anyone have a Genaral Staff example? Bavarian if possible? :-)
    12. I recently found out the boxes above with the Iron Cross are fake. However, to make up for that.....
    13. Here are some lables and a few more boxers that came in....
    14. OK, here is a scare one, albeit it in crappy condition... Bavarian Schneeschuh ersatz abteiling....
    15. I guess there are a number of possibilities? Maybe a jewller who had a supply of RAO4 but a big demand for RAO4X ? Is there such a price difference that it makes it worth to add swords nowdays? I guess there are a number of possibilities? Maybe a jewller who had a supply of RAO4 but a big demand for RAO4X ?

    16. Does anyone have any pics of the Bavarian Bravery medal in the buttonhole?
    17. Hmmmm... I just saw the title of this old thread and thought I could tell the story of a weekend I spent with a waitress in Montpelier.... interesting bar!
    18. Some great docs shown back then, sadly I have some of Ricks old ones :-( Anyone else joined the doc club since back then? Best Chris
    19. I have 3 examples of this to use for my project, does anyone else have any variations? Thanks Chris
