      That top photo is a VERY interesting mix of uniforms indeed!

      Direct from the vet!! wow. Is there a name in/with the jacket?
    3. Ulsterman
      wow!! It pays to look through the boxes. THANK YOU Naxos. I owe you a beer or two. :cheers:

      here's a little photo I picked up at the local show. Taken in the early winter of 1941 in Russia, a battalion commander Oberstlt., WW1 vet with an RK. RKs were still somewhat rare at this stage of the war. Alas, I can not make out the name. Dr Muntz? Pity he wasn't wearing his ribbon bar, but it appears as if they didn't much in combat.

      Cool. Is there a regimental history?
    6. Ulsterman
      Yup- Thanks Gordon. I neglected to get an on-the-spot translation from Robert at the show. Does it say "for service" around the edge: HUSEG A NEPHEZ HUSEG A PARTHOZ. The nice thing about it is the lapel stick pin (15 times actual size).
    7. Ulsterman
      WOW!!!!!! Two Emperor's signatures! That is a WONDERFUL piece.

      my favorite one-a reserve medical unit...everyone had one:
    9. Ulsterman
      very cool! What does it say? I got a few KISZ flags out of Canada @ 4 years ago. They don't scan well, but I'll see if I can upload a photo. Maybe someone can reedit it for size?

      1. scan medals and pics. 2. post here. 3. please add details of recipients 4. Word will get out after we discuss the medals then-either sell by private sale, eBay (world wide audience) or go to one of the well-reputed auction houses (pay commission). Thank-

      wow!! Too bad about the St. Anne., but I'll look for you. I am glad you kept this together.
    13. Ulsterman
      ah! right you are!

      2 Batt? Lt. Klumm? Lt. Gersar ? Offcr Stellvtr. Huhurouur? Feb. 1918
    15. Ulsterman
      Excellent! Merci for posting. Encore, Encore! Can you blow up the ribbon bar of the officer in #1 perchance? Thanks- By the way, where is the Tagesbericht from?
    16. Ulsterman
      somewhere near Le Hamel in France. Nice helmets on the ground there.

      My latest acquisition. A lovely little piece-poorly made as stuff you'd buy today at the local "sports and trophy shop" in the USA, so an end of the Communist era piece I reckon. Came with a nice little lapel badge too and a red 1960s+ box. The paint/"enamel" had bled slightly onto the felt box pressed liner. The reverse is, as usual, plain. Was this a 'scout' leaders' award?
    18. Ulsterman
      and the front: came with a box and ribbon bar.
    19. Ulsterman
      another show pick up- a second class. Here is the back-silver, but plain with a straight pin marked "ZNO Kovinca". bad scan-sorry
    20. Ulsterman
      superb. Isn't there an Ashanti roll out there? The only details I have are secondary books and Featherstones' reprint of the ILN accounts.
    21. Ulsterman
      well, for starters the top one is Russia @ 1917 or I'd eat my hat. No war medal ribbons, unusual brassard on that middle officer. i'd love to see the cap badges up close too. The bottom one looks like it was taken on the Murmansk convoys.
    22. Ulsterman
      At the local fair today I picked this up. photo taken with the Missus @ 1915-19 I reckon. The medals grabbed me-Egypt with one bar, what I think is the IGS with two bars, an army LSGC,what I think is a QSA and a KSA (2 bars) and the Khedives' star. Clearly this old man was brought back for some sort pf semi-military service (note cap badge) @ 1915. Alas, if only the photographer had been @ 2 feet closer.
    23. Ulsterman
      with the EK device in one photo -makes me think Saxons.
    24. Ulsterman
      Because I thought the black knights' Mariancross was only for hospital work. But maybe it was for donations and management services as well. I am no Austrian expert, but others' here know more than I.
    25. Ulsterman
      wow! Makes you wonder at the stories he could have told. That's the first Austrian Napoleonic vet I have ever seen. I wonder if he was at Austerlitz?
