I know that I am late to this conversation, but I would also like to make the point that styles Ribbons are also regional; thinking the Bavarian style. I would say that I have seen a lot of NCOs with the “Trap bars with detachable medals”, however, there are no definite rules. at the end, I think it comes down to wearers preference.

This Is an interesting combination. I am sure that it can be identified by someone who has knowledge of Danish Officers

Amazing tunic

Always fascinating careers with the FFL. Thanks for posting

Very neat story

Thanks for sharing this; I recognize many of these bars. I had a funny feeling about them so I gave up a while ago. Very sad.

I would recommend the Bender Book for Ss Uniforms and the Pritchett books for the Heer Uniforms

Very cool photo. Some NSKK men fought as Heer Soldiers during the Polish and French Campign as Reservists, then went back to their full time position in the NSKK. Also notice he has an EK II ribbon. one other famous NSKK member who had the Tank Assault Badge and EK I Spange was NSKK- Obergruppenfuhrer August Kobele, the finance guy for the NSKK. honestly, I love this organization. So many neat people and a cool mission. thanks for sharing

I have had some on some wwi medals, but always thought they were post war

Great display and awesome preservation; very lucky to have that

I mentioned on another forum tht Craig Gottleib would try to get in on this. He is an Uber-douche. I met him at a show once and was a total asshole. people that dig up graves for profit are wankers. I hope the right thing is done here and maybe this tunnel can be preserved for others to cherish history.

That will be amazing if you can figure this out. Can you post a colored photo of the uniform you have? Do you have all original medals on it?

This is so hard for me to decide. If this thread is limited to Imperial German, then It narrow it down a little. Though it has little value to the collector community, it is extremely valuable to me: It would have to be my Great Grandpa’s Grouping. 1) Broke ‘14 EKII 2)MilitarpaB 3) Trenchart Bracelet that was used as engagement Ring when he got married in 1917. 4) 1922 Deutchmark/Reichmark the year he immigrated to the US. *I have posted before, but I will post again. Second would be the R109 (Baden RIR 109) Pickelhaube Cover that I collected.

BG Chuck Yeager died last night at 97. WWII Ace and first to break the sound barrier.

I can’t even read it because it is so worn Any other thoughts out there. Thanks to everyone who has tried to help with this mystery so far.

Very nice. Definitely a looker

I can’t even read it because it is so worn

There doesn’t see to be a stamp. I found the tailors tag (very worn) and took a photo of the liner. I looked everywhere where I would know to find a date stamp, but with luck.

Again, I am not familiar with the Dut CC Award System. WWII-wise, I know there was a Dutch Marine Battalion that fought off German Paratroopers at a Bridgehead

Thank you Herman.

Gents Like the title states, I recently acquired an amazing WWII Dutch Marine Uniform. It has loops for either two medals or a longer ribbon bar. I do not know much about Dutch stuff, but what could the possibility of combination of medals for this uniform? rank is Ensign or second lieutenant equivalent.

Kinda crazy And stupid. I collect American Silver Eagles. The Philadelphia Mint 2017 is the lowest produced Silver Eagle (no I don’t know what this one is), but it is selling for average $5k USD. This year, 2020, West Point Mint shut down forever (as told by USMINT) and they are doing another low montage of Philadelphia Mint Silver Eagles and they are being press for $495 USD. Will be second lowest montage of coin. Also, FYSA, this is the last year the Silver Eagle will have this design.

This guy is all over every forum trying to get someone validate it and sell it as junk. The person who started this thread has a history of doings this under different names then sells crap. Please beware

Thank you peter.

Thanks. Original Owner?
