I've noted several sellers that split everything, including awards from cases etc... They should be shot.

All you need is this to go with it: http://cgi.ebay.com/LEGION-CONDOR-TANK-BAD...1QQcmdZViewItem

Now that is just showing off.

Thanks guys. Don

Here is mine, a nice bar to some brave "little guy" that did his duty.

Hi Rick. Thinking of buying them. What would be a fair price for these. PM me if you want and thanks for the quick reply. Don

and the KAG

I would like some opinions on these please. thanks in advance. Don

I learned a long time ago not to start slitting my wrists or throwing my items away just because someone writes an opinion that they are a fake. We learn more every year. Don

Not me. They are going to drive collectors out of TR and into other areas, Imperial for instance. Don

The reverse. Unforunately moths have feasted on the backing. Still I love these bars with multiple bravery awards from the guys that did the "real" fighting. Enlisted guys rule!

Here is another one straight from Germany, from a seller in Dresden. All the medals are secured so they don't jingle around. Or is this the same bar that is shown above???

He was thinking "I earned them so I'm going to wear them, dammit!!" Don

Nice AWS Larry. That maker still elludes me. Don

Very nice grouping with a history. The son's awards are iceing on the cake. It puts the first half of the last century in perspective. The PAB is a Daisy BTW. Don

Anyone know how to tell if the Bravery Device is original?

Bob, you might want to throw the blob in the fake thread.

How do you tell if the device is an original? thanks Don

Bob, as usual it is almost all speculation but last I heard this is how it lays now: A.S. and .A.S are thought to be made by Adolph Scholze from the area of Gablonz, linked through manufacturing technique to Gablonz maker R.K. The AS triangle could possibly be A.D. Schwerdt (tridangle being a D in ancient Greek) but you would expect the biggest letter to be the last name and not the middle name. Mike Tucker had one of these in an A.D.Schwerdt packet which strengthens this line of reason but no one has produced another example with the packet so who knows. It could also be an as yet unidentified Gablon manufacturer. One day we will know for sure. Don

It appears that several of the sellers have discover a patsy from which they are making a killing. Don

Thanks Rick. I might as well show another since I'm messing with the scanner. Here is a Brunswick Cross for War Merit with Bravery device. Don

Thanks for the assist. I had it written down and accidently tossed it when the wife made me clean the dungeon. Don

AS in the triangle is thought to be a different maker than the A.S. and .A.S maker. Nice PABs all the same. I have the A.S. hollow in silver. Don

and this one. thanks in advance. Don

A couple of items that I would like to ID please.
