      well, this just-sucks! I figure faking is on the cusp of today. I have wondered about the unnumbered badges myself-and supposed they were "unissued" or issued but not engraved because of cost-or maybe even replacement badges. It's such an obscure area that it doesn't behoove them-yet-to make fakes, but soon, very soon. any chance you can interview any partisans?

      Ah ha! Another Adrian Mole fan. (note bouncing)

      see also: http://www.vitezi-rend.hu/ peter Czink, who I am begging to join us here can tell us more about joining the Order.

      Hi gents: Why the different ribbons? Also, you can tell a LOT by the weights and the measurements.

      Nice! Another evening lost for me.

      cool. @1900? Who got this, a province level director or a Berlin bureaucrat?
    7. Ulsterman
      wow. I am speechless. GREAT BAR!

      Double wow! Ever read Flashamns' Lady? Queen Ravavanaola was a beast. Interesting medal from an interesting time.

      see here: Bob's Father was in the Freikorps and the Guard flametrooper troops and he is writing a book about his experiences. http://forum.axishistory.com/profile.php?m...ile&u=11343

      Bravo!!!! Bravo!!!

      NICE group! Austrian medals were freely awarded to german NCOs who were attached to Austrian front line units (often for no more than 3 months) in an effort to 'stiffen" austrian fighting prowess starting in late 1916. Also, WC, do you know Bob lempke? He may have more biographical details on your man. he is a flammenwerfer/Guard members expert.

      nice Kev. Did you ever get that Irish medal ribbon you were looking for? Can you get more of these? i know a chap in Massachusetts who is quite fond of all ribbony type things. I believe he has a 50th birthday soon approaching.

      WOW!!!!!!!! OMG! Rarer than an RK certainly. The golden rule on the Antiques roadshow- Never clean anything!

      Congrats! Well done on saving a part of history. CD-have you thought about a small newspaper ad? I'll back you.

      Well, #1 is the issue here huh? I don't know about fakes/copies of this medal, but it looks "fat" to me. But hey, I am not the expert here. How big is it and what does it weigh? Magnetic?

      wow!! GREAT Wehrpass-MIA, but "there's little possibility he might return"-after fighting 15 Km THROUGH Russian lines!!! Now THAT is history. note the "later" date of the crusade medal award. I have seen these in Wehrpasses NO earlier than Fall, 1942 (albeit with a very limited survey sample of a dozen books), but it certainly helps date photos of these in wear-and ribbon bars to about 2 years only.

      Thanks Kev!

      oops- hope Hauptman doesn't mind it here. I would think it also counts as a "excellent work" badge?
    19. Ulsterman
      were they some sort of sports assn? Later part of the Patriotic Front? http://www.historia.hu/archivum/2003/030809sipos.htm
    20. Ulsterman
      Nice ones CD- I was looking through old emails yesterday and saw this: "excellent work"/ but to the military sports assn. (nice wikipedia write up on them too): with your permission... (is this your badge?)
    21. Ulsterman
      Nice! wahrscheinlich im kreigzeit bekommen, glaube ich.
    22. Ulsterman
      Humberto has the regulations for El Salvadorian medals.
    23. Ulsterman
      OK: Language question...what exactly is the difference between "dolgozo" and "munka "? Labor and worker? Does dolgozo have some sort of political connotation?
    24. Ulsterman
      what does the rupprecht medal look like?
    25. Ulsterman
      nice one-beautiful.
