Hi all Recieved this today in a mixed group of items. I have a good feeling about it, but I havent had one before. Hopefully someone can confirm my felings that this is a good one. Thanks Dan
-
Bloody hell, your quick! Thanks for your help Kev. I was thinking of moving this on as its not really in my feild of collecting. Any idea as to its worth? Thanks Dan

BEM group question!
FrontlineAntiques replied to paddywhack's topic in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign Medals
I had the same feeling... I can see the a faint outline of an 'R' and the lines running along the rim look like it could have been prviously polished down and renamed. I hope I am wrong Dan -
Hi Kev I knew it was Irish... im sure i have seen one on here in the last year. Any idea what the writing says? Or what the double F stands for? Dan

-
an Irish (?) badge/sleeve badge/ buckle of some sort. Any ideas?
-
Thanks Dan! Next up is a polish badge. Have definately seen this before but cant bring to mind what it is.... Pin is missing.
-
There are a few pieces that I dont recognise - can anyone help? Now, the first one... Possbly a membership badge of some kind, or a cap cockade for a political officer? Maker marked to the rear, RZM M1/34

Afternoon chaps and chapettes The postman managed to brave the deep snow and sub-zero temperaturs this morning, and behold the treasures he brought! This little lot all came from one guy who's father had collected it over about 40 years. Some nice little peices - im not sure about all of it but over all im more than chuffed! Feast your eyes

FrontlineAntiques replied to a topic in Middle East & Arab States
A great item, and an amazing bargain! Congrats I wouldnt worry at all with regqrds to the missing peices and small crack - its from a great maker and at that price who could complain?! All the best Dan -
Soviet Young 'Un
FrontlineAntiques replied to slava1stclass's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
The photos are very cool - but to be honest are also very sad. If these are genuine combatants, just think of what thy must have done/witnessed. It can be difficult for grown men and women to deal with the realities of war, let alone small children. -
I have been following this thread since i first became a member of GMIC, and it has been a real education to see such great examples from several different collections! I feel honoured to see them - keep posting! dan

EK 1939 My first Iron Cross, opinion please
FrontlineAntiques replied to kapten_windu's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Congrats on the first one! Its a lovely example All the best Dan -
An old topic I know, but I thought i would share my lovely HSF.... RS&S, great looking peice - but obviously the pin is all wrong. Wish I had known that one earlier! Would have saved myself £125 a few years ago!
-
Hi Doug As far as I can tell yours is a good example, and a nice find Dan
-
I agree too - a nice example of a late war peice. I really like the dull tone
-
Thanks Peter left it well alone
-
Hi Chaps Just had this peice offered at a great price - and it all feels a little bit too good to be true, What do we think of it? Thanks Dan
-
This is the sellers photo, not mine, and I havent held the badge in my hands. These are the points that i feel are incorrect - 1 - roughly hand stamped numbering 2 - The "O" of Sozialistische is too oval rather than round. 3 - the Deschler stamp is unlike any i have seen before and probably several other faults i havent noticed. So what do we think? Dan
-
Morning chaps I have had a collction of items offered to me today, and within them is a Deschler GPB. However - i dont fel to confident about it....Take a look, what do you think?
