Gaawd! What must it be like to be Rick Research? Men stand in awe, women hurl themselves at you. You must be constantly mobbed by Rick Research groupies and innundated with fan mail from women who want to have your baby. Sometimes the price of fame can be a real burden.
Here is one that is fairly tough to find in any condition...an early hollow back maker marked AS with the unique .A.S marking and in bronze. The only knocks on this badge are some wear to the high points on the headlights and the turret edges and parts of the wreath and a repaired catch. For a badge this rare those are points easily forgiven.
I've been thinking (which is something I should not do without good adult supervision) about that veteran's medal bar and why there are no crossed swords or campaign clasps on the Kyffh?user ribbon. My guess is that on this particular rig the medal was mounted higher up on the bar so as to line up with bottoms of the other medals. By doing that it makes it impossible to mount swords or campaign clasps in the space remaining above the medal. The work around is a taller bar but that was not to be in this case.
