      yeah-impulse buys are interesting. Flip it and you might have a CSC, Jubilee and Arctic medal-bizarre. Undoubtedly old and worn though-and on a very old style British mounting.

      ah-perhaps the light dawns, for see here- http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8856...hl=white+ribbon

      I got this last week-a bargain. I love the helmet.

      I got this at a show last week...an impulse purchase. I think it's police by the middle ribbon, but would be very grateful if anyone can tell me exactly what it is I have here. Ta,
    5. Ulsterman
      Great information! Welcome and thank you.
    6. Ulsterman
      whoops-sorry didn't mean to be rude-I just saw this. My brother-in-law lives there. It's a nice place.

      Be very, very careful with these-the back looks very much like a new fake"replacement" series of hungarian medals that are floating around this year.

      I also would like to see some info on Japanese fakes-having just learned i was burnt-grrrr.... also, anything about medals and ribbon bars.
    9. Ulsterman
      Well, I did not know & knowledge is power. I orginally bought it from Eric Doodey on a whim as an Xmas present for Rick , but I got him something else instead so decided to post it. Oh well- ignoranece WAS bliss-
    10. Ulsterman
      Hmmm... I got it from a pretty knowledgable source. Why do you think it is a fabrication? What exactly is wrong with it? I know little about who got what Japanese awards.

      well done to the Tomemaster! Where does one find a roll for the Willhelhscross? Is it beng published soon? Thx.
    12. Ulsterman
      Great doc Chris. Any chance he's mentioned in the regimantal history at all?
    13. Ulsterman
      WoW!!! GREAT items. Well done.
    14. Ulsterman
      Great medal! Pershore indeed had an "Abbey Lodge" down the street from the actual abbey.
    15. Ulsterman
      Thank you Jeff! Having perused my US books and the internet-uh..... what exactly was the "War Department ETO service ribbon"? When was it authorized? Can you provide me/us with any additional information? Am I correct in assuming that some Red Cros person would have been able to receive this ribbon? Thanks!
    16. Ulsterman
      Last one-any ideas?
    17. Ulsterman
      Ah -#1 makes sense! It came with this one-the star of my USA collection!
    18. Ulsterman
      wow! Thanks Ed. You are fast. Any ideas on this one?
    19. Ulsterman
      A ebay find. Any ideas? One inch long with a brass backing. Doesn't look too old.
    20. Ulsterman
      Stunning! I am jealous!
    21. Ulsterman
      Fantastic! It is the first bone fide WW1 style "flat mounting" I have ever seen.
    22. Ulsterman
      According to Bender the former type went until the 1960s -especially for decorations and awards, but the latter started with the WW2 vistory medal.
    23. Ulsterman
      Gerd: As an aside-one place you can start with a reasonable degree of confidence is the WW1 trio-where medal cards are availabe on-line. You can still pick up a hard-won pair of WW1 medals to a line regiment private for $40. Also, groups with the ISM seem to still be availble. I had no idea about the Pakistani fakes though-sigh.

      My cousin Rowena worked there in the early 1970s before going to Christies. Send a hand written letter to the Director. they are old fashioned and odds are the old man will say something like "You-underling-take care of this chap pleae"
    25. Ulsterman
      No, Spinks do and have manufactured medals for many.many years-they are top notch world class numinists. I grew up in their warehouse offices. Their archives are a treasure chest-closely guarded by attractive young ladies who have NO interest in letting researchers into the files. However, a letter to the Director will get you a result.
