Early 2000s one could find a lot of good stuff on Ebay. At one point I bought two napoleanic war medals that were Prussian for 85 Euros. One of them was a Silver Merit Medal. I wish instill had it, but I sold it because I was focused on something else.

It is an interesting topic- especially with Goring and Himmler. Heck Hitler only wore his EKI and Wound badge even though he was entitled to various Bavarian awards and The HC.

Agree- don’t put your relatives stuff on a reproduction- do a Riker box with a photo of your uncle and put it all together

Amazing bar

I have a bunch of weird armbands. The last time I went to a local show, I sold one pretty similar looking and it sold for $50.

There is a guy who regularly fakes WWI medal bars on eBay. I think he is from the Netherlands or Belgium; would stay away. Person is know on multiple other forums for artificially aging modern ribbons for medals

Very nice

I would like to get a boxed Platinum Jub for the queen and a cornantion medal but they are hard to find here in the US. I have the issued one before the Platinum Jub. Any suggestions?

Great thread, thanks for starting this.

First, Thanks for sharing. I do find this thread very interesting since the conflict is ongoing and so fresh in all of our minds. Not pertaining to this thread, but since there are experts on the region, have there been any thoughts on the awards from the Russian perspective with the current conflict?

Awesome badges. JFS are my favorite maker of any badges TR.

Are any of these awards getting awarded to foreign volunteers in the current conflict. Are there photos of it?

First apologize for triple post, error in my phone. there are some easier ones that I can pick out like EKs and Baden awards, but some of those Turkish stars, an award that I want to own, some are very hard to decipher. on another note, we know Imperial German and TR German are heavily faked; we know US airborne WWII is faked, but surprisingly post wwii through even the gwot is being faked for common items. It is just sad. I found a post- Vietnam era common patch on a period fatigue shirt just the other day. I laugh at people faking GWOT stuff; especially the Iraqi stuff. thanks for your response.

Sometimes you see this medal on US uniforms after the war or during immediate occupation time; any thoughts on that?

These are all scary good. These are all scary good. These are all scary good.
