Let me round up a few and I'll post tomorrow.

Ralph, did you ever get my message?

The ribbon bar is imaginary. The uniform shirt is something that has evolved as an aggressor force uniform since the late fifties.

I have a hunch that bar was put together with the intent of keeping you up nights.

Richard, is there a ribbon bar I can to contribute to your insomnia? Nice to see you are alive and well and the only person in North America authorized to own anything having to do with St. Tammy.

So, Rick, do you think I paid too much??

No St. Tammy for this guy? What's up with that, Rick?

I love impulse buys!

Where is it, Barry?

...a part of me wants to say, Nice try buddy!

Nice find, Mike! Congratulations!

Dan, the combat tank badge is bogus. It was floated but never authorized. The proposed version had yellow (branch color for armor) enamel.

Congratulations, Gary! Nice addition to your collection.

I am delighted by the continuing growth of this thread and our tinnie "database."

Excellent bar, Heiko. Good luck with the identification.

Marvelous group, Willi, thank you for sharing it with us.

Well done, Claudio! Congratulations!

CYQ is Spreewerk in Berlin. They used to make heavy machinery or was it locomotives? Anyway, fine machining is not to be found on these pieces as it would on a Mauser made piece. Rough machining is a trademark of this maker.

It's nice to know he did something besides Easter eggs.

There is something about gold that just fires the imagination.

How are the documents being preserved?

Has the rifle been converted from flint to percussion?

...at least not the brass ones!

Welcome, Don! You bring a lifetime of experience to the group.

Liberace! Now there's a man who knew how to dress!

and another...
