The results should be up shortly.

Did anyone go to the auction? If so, how did it go?

Very, very nice. It might have been for a staff officer. What is interest is that there is no 1870 EK2. With 5 foreign awards and no EK2 it may be possible to find him in the ranklist or DOA. It would take some work.

I have many bars remaining and will be putting together some photos this weekend.

I tried several different possibilities for the second award and the two LSC or Italian Crown and no luck.

Since the decoration in the second position can't be clearly determine all I have to go on is the Italian Crown and Luftwaffe long service. I do not find a match.

That pic does not look right. I looks like someone used photoshop to put the awards there.

Can you post a close up of the bar?

I don't recall where Stephen Previtera's table is. It maybe list under Winidore Press. Stephen wrote the recent large flight badge book so his table will not be hard to find. While the auction maybe a nice idea it will be to hard to manage in a short period of time.

Thanks guys. I checked and the second bar is missing. Too bad.

Unfortunately, not.

I have been helping to sell Rick Lundstrom's collection and will have a portion of his ribbon bar collection at the SOS in Louisville. Many of the bars that Rick used for his ribbon bar article on this forum will be available. I will be at a table with Stephen Previtera of Winidore.

Thanks

Thumbs Up!

All decisions in regards to the disposal of Rick's collection have been made as per his written instructions and in consultation with his mother. Several other forum members can attest to this fact. All items in the auction will ship from Germany.

Hello All, On March 14, 2015 the collection of Rick Lundstrom will be auctioned at Bene Merenti by Christian Lehrle. There are 79 lots and something for everyone. The link to the listing is below. http://www.benemerenti.de/php/us_startseite.php

The above reply is 100% correct.

There is a forum on uniforms which would be better.

Agreed, but I think we should pin this post so other can see it and express their thoughts.

Thanks.

Very funny. I have had the same experience. Brian you are an outstanding writer!

Do you know who it is?

Very nice and thanks for posting.
