My - so far - one and only Croix de guerre. It's the 1940-1918 version with one star.

I needed one for an exhibition in an Lokal museum. I gave them - just for this exhibition- the Croix de guerre and the ww1 battle damaged untouched Adrian Helmet.

But... now... I have a big problem... I... probably was bitten by the Croix de Guerre bug to. They are cheap, good looking and they look good next to my ww1 iron crosses.

Ok ok here is the photo. Croix de Guerre with the Adrian Helmet. You can see the shrapnel dents on the helmet. He had much luck - not a single  one break thru even when the metal is cracked.

Hey all. Found this in my garden. Is it what I think it is?

My newest addition. A nice lady's bow. I gave it my dad as a present.

Thanks Andreas,

it's always good to hear it from other persons.

Do you think he was retired from the army / navy during ww1 and got his Kreuz für Kriegshilfsdienst as Civilian?

I just try to understand this ribbon bar a little.

Thanks Heiko.

Sorry for my late reply. No those aren't holes for clasps. The bar had a bad home before.

-----------------------------------------------------

After a little research I found some ncos and officers with similar bars (more or less medals).

Could the second ribbon - we identifyed it as War aid cross - maybe a crown order with Geneva cross? Those special order had the same ribbon as the war aid cross.

Just find the war aid cross a little misplaced with all those colonial and pre war stuff.

Thanks guys!

I have this pin since years. Found it today in my parts box.

I still didn't know what it is. Just a town crest? Or something military or civilian related?

Thank you very much!

Hello all,

Today I got this Eisernes Kreuz  from an nice old lady. I know her since years and got an nice Simson made Bajonett from her. Today she gave me her father's EK1 and singer EK2 Ribbon.

I don't know anything about this EK1 typ. Looks like a Single Piece one - but maybe someone made a new paint job. 

I would be happy for some comments on this EK.

Thank you very much guys.

All in a it's a nice bar and the first of that kind for my collection

Hello all.

I assume that this a ribbon bar of a French ww2 veteran.

Croix de guerre 1939 and the Médaille des blessés de guerre

Is this a legit one?

It's for a small display and I want to  be shure to show a correct one.

Thanks Andreas.

Yeah sometimes I'm to euphoric. I realy like this bar and find it very special.

So it's a navy bar?

Hello Guy's,

I'm back from a small ribbon bar haul.

Got this pretty nice 8 Placer!

Fltr:

EK2 / Kriegshilfsdienst / Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen / Kronenorden (?) / Dienstauszeichnung XXV (?) / Kolonial Denkmünze / China Denkmünze / Centenarmedaille

Is there any chance to identify the owner?

Or maybe anyone can tell the story about this bar?

Lucky me... got an other nice single ribbon for my Anschluss medal. This time without mini device.

Hope that I have enough luck to find a nice Etui to...

Welcome aboard Pete.

We would be happy to see some of your stuff!

Got this German Italian Campaign Medal.  It's the first one I found.

Payed 30€ for it. It's a Type II medal.

I'm happy that the medal still have the original ribbon.

Hey guys.

Got those two medals yesterday. I think they are commemorative medals.

I put this one on a empty ribbon bar.

Want to show a rare CIB here. It's an early german occupation made pin back CIB which uses german hardware.

I would be happy if you show your german made CIB'S as well.

Thank you very much Chris

Today I will show you my Grandpa's Close Combat Clasp in Silver.

It's not a spectacular one but it's my Grandpa's - and of course priceless

Often I was told that this one is a bronze CCC - but the silverish finish is still visible on the front.

Hope you like it as I do.

Haha yes it was real beginners luck.

I sold the other two Victory Medals for 30€. So technically I got this one for 10€.

Can anyone read that Signature? 

Its in a book my grandpa got as birthday present. He was short time in the Wachbataillon Wien as Bursche for the Kommandeur. 

 

Still looking for him.

If anyone can help.

Here an WW1 Iron Cross made of iron sheet.

It's oblivious a piece from an Photo/ Picture Frame.

But its a nicely made piece.

A beautiful crafted picture Frame from a Sailor of the SMS Medusa.

I'm not good with pre ww2 uniforms are this a pre or post 1900 Navy Uniform?
