I still think they could have done a much better job with medal itself, and the ribbon. The medal is very similar the the Defense DSM and Superior Svc. I would have made the ribbon a AF blue with white stripes, not red and gold. It's kinda hard on the eyes

Simply amazing . . .

That's a smashing bar Paul !!

Ricky is the lucky one, he now has custody

Rick You are THE one true Master of the unknown ribbon bars

Here are two more pics If I remember correctly he created and awarded himself the title C.B.E. (Conquerer of the British Empire)

Now if we can only follow the chain of custody back to the DAMM owner it would be spectacular !! I NEVER had any pretense of an idea of that bar being identified . . . but Ricky (the Ribbon Bar Master) did it

My thoughts initially but here's a pic of the QARANC gorgets (not mine - found online) kinda - sorta

D'oh All done Thanks

The crown was too big to post above

These have recently come to live with me I am having difficulty pinning down what Corps or Branch The crown is a Kings Crown Any assistance is tremendously appreciated

Nice one Darrell !! My contribution (albeit small) - Special Constabulary and Territorial

I found an Ilsa Erythropel, daughter of the German Ambassador to Cuba http://www.juliogirona.com/ Must have been a family of Civil Servants

There is a Heinrich Erythropel (1864-1940) . . . maybe a relative? http://www.frankfurter-verbindungen.de/korporierte/e.html http://www.gonschior.de/weimar/Me-Schwerin...rblick_Reg.html Just playing with google

Excellent !!! I knew with that combination it must have been findable

Rick Here's the Italian Armys website, lotta nice dodads and such Italian Army website

Italian . . . due to the shape of the axes, and the flame direction Possible Engineers Here's a current Engineer cap badge

Not British . . . issued to the 50,000 Australian and New Zealand troops who served in Vietnam from 1964 to 1973 Established in 1968 and called The Vietnam Medal

I always knew that there WAS a cloth ribbon instead of the tack coated paper Thanks for showing

The only thing I can say is . . . WOW !!!!! Thanks for showing

Yep . . . the US Naval version

Not bronze stars, but battle stars for campaign participation. This is a close-up of a larger picture (too big to post) of the 'awards' to the US Aircraft Carrier Carl Vinson Personnel on the ship when the awards happened are authorized to wear said award on their uniform Navy Unit Commendation Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation Navy E ribbon Navy Expeditionary National Defense Armed Forces Expeditionary SW Asia Svc Navy Sea Svc Deployment

Here's a close up of a pic (too big to post) of one of the first awards in June

They are in a bound format published by and for the US Army, distribution is limited Published in two volumes- Volume 1 shows Active duty Officers only, more of a bio format Volume 2 shows Active, NG, USAR and other officers, the format is basic info only Not found in military bookstores Sometimes found at used bookstores in the military section Most of mine were found on eBay, one was found in a used bookstore There are Navy and Marine registers as well, but harder to find

I can give you a possibility, not a definite. In the 1966 Officer Register there are two LANDAUs on Active duty, one is Armor, the other is QM In the 1968 Officer Register there are two LANDAUs, one is Artillery, the other is Finance LANDAU, BERT G III 0-5234402 Branch: Artillery Rank: First Lieutenant Date of Rank: Aug 28 1967 Entry Date: Aug 6 1966 Date of Birth: Aug 11 1942 Status: US Army Reserve According to the Register 1) He is serving as an Active Officer 2) He has less than two years of college Hope this helps
