WOW what else can you say and what a find,looks in excellent condition for its age,really incredible. Jon

Excellent collection and an invaluable guide for spangen collectors.Thanks Jim. Jon

Fantastic!!Thanks for all your great work with spangen and some really beautiful examples as well. Jon

Both very,very nice crosses and how often do you see a prizen especially an 1870 and both 25 year as well really incredible. Jon

Wow that is an amazing grouping all those photo's as well,2 HRC are they both worn? I have a named DKIG in cloth in my care ,He also made it onto the Honour Roll But died before he made it to RK,it made me wonder if he too was recommended for an RK but got the HRC instead.Fantastic that you are telling this mans story,quite an important grouping this one thanks for showing. Jon

Fascinating pictorial journey,I love it when you can put a name and a face to these pieces we all collect,do you have his awards?Interesting to read of his first RK being changed to The Honour Roll,a less common award and highly prestigious. Jon

I could have sworn I had already posted these pics. [cloth-wmk.jpg] Major Adolf Mugge and DKIG in cloth. J

Thanks for that Chris,I have been meaning to find out the correct pronunciation. JOn

Nice badge and quite a fascinating part of the Lufftwaffe history,from the early days using gliders to train pilots in secret to the mega tank carrying gliders. Jon

Nice PO badge and nice to have the name as you say a common practice.Old thread but worth commenting on such a beautiful eagle!. Jon

That has some nicely polished highlights,impressive badge nice and worn with still plenty of frosting on the wreath,this maker does seem to wear well.But why do you say unmarked it has the BSW cloverleaf? I have one of these BSW Pilots badge myself.
