Here is a other ship's plan; the Willem Ruys. Better know to most as the Achille Lauro. The name it got when it was sold in the early 60 ties.

Love them all! Nice find. cheers |<ris

Thanks OC! Good eye, but it is just me selling the painting, on a local auction site. cheers |<ris

Here is are better pictures of the dagger (first pics were taken with my cellphone at location....);

Thanks for your help. |<ris

Hello, could any one please identify this dagger please? I was thinking Italian police........? Sorry for the bad pic. |<ris

Would love to have a original type one, some day! Just got thise (cased) one in, from a house clearing, saddly no owners name...

I'll show interior shots later on, because it shows the owners name, and other stuff was promised to me by the seller,... who is the son.........! I hope you'll understand! ;-) |<ris

.....laying on a flee market,....... at 10€........... cheers |<ris

Not sure, if they are in the shop! But I am sure they have a lot in stock. Last time I went for a quick visit( 2 or 3 months ago!), when leaving a saw lots of books offered for free, just out side the shop......Militaria Belgica copy's as well!

The shop at the national museum. |<ris

Not sure if the ship in this small ashtray realy existed..... At the back it says "keep sake from Belgium"; yes, it says "sake" not safe. Feel free to comment, because it is a small mystery to me ....

Love it too! |<

Hey Mervyn, it is in metal. You see them generaly in offices related to the specific compagny. cheers |<ris

Not a award, but like a members badge. A few years ago a whole lot were offered at the SOS, but they appeard to be (very good!) fakes. cheers |<ris

Thanks Chip. |<ris

Have to thank you one more time, you have been of a great help! I tought seeing 750 for gold....in the oval,but you are right! The other marks are a star, "26" and "ss"......!? cheers |<ris

Thank you, again! |<ris

Ok, thank you! Yes the blue box contains the Leopold II commander order. I tought it would be simple! (lol!!) Cheers |<ris

And one last medal question for today! Would you happen to know what this box was ment for and would you have any idea about the Wappen that is in it? It is made of some sort of coloured wax....... The makers mark says "Rath München".

And could you tell me what the "R" on the red box means, please?

Could some one tell me what used to be in this box, please?

I am no good at medals, but willing to learn! So I got this neck order, marked at the back, what are the marks for? And I see some are mentioned "old types"......, what type is mine, please?

A small modern desk model, probably monted on to something originaly....

I have a small collection of tobacco pots that represent very nice figures. They are Victorian periode pottery's and made in Germany. There is one I would like in particular and that is Stanley. Not at any price! One was recently offered to me at 250€ with a small chip, I turned it down and it wasn't for the chip! They generaly sufferd damages, so that is no problem to me. The price is! cheers |<ris http://www.kodner.com/catalogue/012914/images/view.asp?id=01093-019&desc=192++-+++Early+20th+Century+German+Pottery+Figural+Henry+M.+Stanley+Covered+Tobacco+Jar.+Stanley+was+the+British+American+explorer+of+central+Africa,+famous+for+his+rescue+of+the+Scottish+missionary+and+explorer+David+Livingstone+and+for+his+discoveries+in+and+development+of+the+Congo+region.+He+was+knighted+in+1899.+Illegible+Incised+Maker%27s+Mark+to+Underside.+Inscribed+Henry+M.+Stanley+to+Base.+Minor+Chips+Otherwise+Good+Condition.+Measures+12-3/4+Inches+Tall+and+5-1/2+Inches+Wide.+Shipping+$54.00+(estimate+$150-$250)
