Hey all, got these Leistungsabzeichen. They have a much higher quality then my Leistungsabzeichen. Gold and Silver Grade are Maker Marked with K&Q - the bronze grade has an to me unknown maker K&Q Unknown

Thanks. Thats exactly what i will do. With this look it realy tells the story of ww1.

A couple of days ago i got this nice Mle 15. I realy like condition on this one - With the small shrapnell dentson it. The Casque was camoflaged with a very dark green color and a few black dashes.under it you can see the the oiginal blue - grey color. Its definitiv not a post ww1 repaint - which would be much lighter. I didnt cleaned the Casque so far - should i leave it as it is? I realy like the look it has.

Wow i was far off then. Thank you very much. Should i restore it?

Standard backing in red. I know it looks brand new. UV negative - feels good in hand to. Just saw this bar on a military show and took a photo because i was curious about those ribbons

Hello guys. Can anyone identify this ribbons?

Hello all, here a 4 placer. Did someone know whats the 3rd ribbon? Stefan

My newest 3 placer

Hello guys, got this medal bar - without medals - for 30€. Everything looks period. F.l.t.r.: EK2 / Düppler Sturmkreuz für die Sturm Combattanten / Medaille 1870/71 / UNKNOWN / Long Service Award ? / Long Service Award ? It would be nice if someone can help me. Whats the Unknown Medal? What kind of long sevice medals belong on the bar? Should i try to restore it? Stefan

Ja bin nachher zuhause dann fotografiere ich es nochmal ab. Gruß Stefan

Vielen dank Jens. Also muss das Foto von 1914 sein. Wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe das Anfang 1914 alle durch den M1913 Landsturm Feldrock ersetzt wurden. Gruß Stefan

Hello fellows What tye of uniform is my great grandpa wearing on this photo? Also it looks like his cap doesn't have a Kocarde. Stefan

Very nice ones. Yes i read about that - the higher (unusual) grades are made out of gold - if i remember corretly they also have real stones.

SA Brigade 45 - Aufmarsch 24. Juni 1934 Maker: G. Danner Mühlhausen (Thür.)

Thatswhat i though to - thank ou very much Don. Got this Pin with a couple of DAK Photos

Very nice one!

A 1914 EK Stickpin - Its nice enameled. How ommon are those enameled ones?

.585 is Gold. The pendant i posted ist also .585 marked - hard to read on the photo. Those badges were made in 925 Silver, 333 Gold and 585 Gold.But it seems they made just a few of precious metal. I bet just the early ones. Have you a picture?

I have this nice little Pin since years - is it a 3rd Reich or a Post war pin?

Here is a nice SA Membership Badge - its made out of .800 Silver by Julius Bauer Sohn, ZeIla-Mehlis (RZM 1/37)

Hello all, here my small collection of Blutspendeehrennadeln all made of .925 silver and the pendant is made of .585 gold. I found so many Blutspendeehrennadeln but just a few are actualy made of precious metal. Feel free to post yours as well - they are prety uncommon to find.

I would say so. The maker Lauer Nürnberg uses the same style hook on their early Bundesverdienstkreuz 1st class. Anyways thats a very nice badge!

Thank you. So its a Special one for this kind of ribbon bars. Thats realy cool

Yes its always sad. Those man - on all sides - have such a hard job. They were directly confronted with the cruels of war. As you said the recognition is nearly zero. I feel its importend to recognise those man - renacting is a good step to show it to the modern world.

Found this one online. I read a little about it. There are a couple of website's out there about this. Thanks for bringing up this POW games. I think most of us didn't hear about that before.
