I'm glad to see you have also succumbed to the attraction of the occassional imperial medal bar. On a more serioius note, congratulations on going over 1000 posts. I appreciate your significant contribution to this forum in some very esoteric collecting areas and your willingness to share so generously with us. Almost every one of your posts is accompanied by a picture. I wish we could all do that. As Bob Dylan told us long ago, "Just keep on keepin' on."
