Thats really an amazing find. I wonder if the original owner had shipped them back with the gun? Ebay them as "Direct from the red barons aircraft!!!" ;.) I bet just in their own the interrupter is worth a fortune...

Does anyone have the Sanke Immelmann card to post?

This one is a pretty nice shot...

This guy looks like he tries toooooo hard.

Here is what I think are the members of an MG class, different regt numbers on the helmet...

And the key to the names... I can make aout a few.... an E-Icecream to anyone who can make out more than 2 thirds...

Hi, this is the front....

BUT... how would a regular die allow you to make this error?

I would shell out the extra little bit for an MC with Trio... The research pleasure you get will far outweigh the price difference between the group anf the unnamed single. best Chris

A good write up, thanks. Question still remains... who got the medal and what couldi pay for it?

A green ribbon with two black stripes, apparently awarded to allied soldiers who elped with the fighting retreat... Any idea what it is and the value?

I am woefully ignirint bout them there medals that isnt an Iron Cross... I was once reading an article that said Bavarian stuff was really expensive, and that Saxony was relatively cheap. This probably due to the fact that modern day Bavaria is wealthier than Saxony and as a result the collectors in Bavaria are willing to pay more for their stuff. An interesting theory, How does the wealth of the different provinces effect the prices of their medals? Which ones are "hot" and which ones are not. Best Chris

This is indeed a great topic, I will hopefully get around to getting some pics done this weekend. Cant believe these lazy bums have not added to the theme.....

The Theme is machineguns... Cmon guys, we all think they are cool, are Tony and I the only ones with MG pics??

Does anyone have an idea about the difference between a Marine-Infanterie-Regt and a Matrosen-Regt. Both are listed as Infantry, but there is no explanation of the difference. Could the Marine Regt be specially trained infantry men while the Matrosen regt were sailors pushed into an infantry role? All the best Chris

Which link?

Wlad in Moscow once sent me this, they were from a Russian vet who collected them from POWs. Found it while cleaning up my files...
