Nice one. 

Yes you are right. In hand at work it looked so tiny

yes - but what could it be?  :S

Comparsion to a Single Mount Iron Cross

Maybe it just looks small because the medal size. 

Here a better shot of the shoulder board - best i can do so far.

Hello all

today i got this Dienstauszeichnung on single clasp. Compared to my other singe bars this one looks a little small.

Why is the single mount so small?

Hello all,

i have this interesting Portrait since many years in my collection - along with other photos of this man.

You see here just a cut-out - its a little tricky to make a good photo pf a photo

The Cap Badge looks like "4. Armee"

Anyone have an idea of the unit and rank of this man?

Greetings Stefan

Hello all,

Im trying to identify this ribbon. Maybe someone of you has a guess what it could be. 

No not the EK ribbon - the one on the clasp

Yes thats what i think to. But it doesnt look like someone messed around with this cap. 

In all those years i never found an answer.... 

Hello all, 

I have this Schirmmütze since years. Everything looks good and old.  It has a few light moth traces. 

But i never saw this color - its dark blue (nearly black) with blue piping. 

Maybe anyone has a clue and can help to identify the cap.

Greetings

Hello all,

today i got this silver grade wound badge. 

Any ideas how to get of some rust? 

Or should i leave it as it is? 

Greetings 

Stefan 

Thats simply incredible! Thanks for showing this unique piece of history! 

Hello all,

Today i got this medal. I buyed a couple of ribbons and found the medal on the bottom of the box. 

Payed for all 45€ and wonder how much the medal is worth to. 

The medal is for my dad as birthday present. 

So i hope everything is ok with it. Never Seen before a 1864 medal. 

The rim has the typical inscription " aus erobertem geschuetz"

Hey Paul,

How are you. If you want i can post the HJ stuff in an extra post. 

Im home in 4 days - if you can wait i will do some pics for you

Unfortunaly i dont have any informations about the owner of the medal bar. She try to find more from her family. 

So i hope i can buy some more from her. 

Today i got this nice little bar from  a neighbor. I got a lot HJ stuff from her husband - since he passes away last year she still looking for the other objects. She told me that this bar is probably from her father - he was a WW1 vet and were in the Wehrmacht (probably Landsturm) in 1943.

Greetings

Hello all, Anyone here know the meaning of the shortcut Z.K.F.3?      The owner was KIA in 1943 as member of the 4. (schw.) Aufkl. Abt. 218 or 248

Very Nice to see this!

I were realy surprised as i hold the bar in my hand - nerver saw such a combination before as mini medal bar.

Just the widdow cross and the mothers cross seperate in wear and even that is quite rar.

Hello all,

i dont know if i already showed this neat little bar. Its my all time favorite - because it is very very unusal.

The small medal bar belongs to my old neighbors mother - but to bad all informations are lost to time - she died and she didnt told me much about her or the medals.

Hope you like it as i do

Greetings

Stefan

Thank you all for your kind words!

I hope one of my daughters will keep the family awards together.

Thank you very much turtle!

Ok Thank you very much! During ww2 the severity of the wound counted to (ie If you lost a hand, arm,foot, leg aso...) You got a silver woundbadge. I thought this were also for the 1918 Woundbadge.  

Greetings Stefan

Hello all,

im looking for an Information about the 1918 Woundbadge. Was it awarted retroactive? My great grandfather was wounded twice - first in 1915 and second in 1916. His second wound he was shot in the leg and lost it Later in Hospital because of gangrene. Were he retroactive awarted an wound badge?  If so which grade?  silver because he lost a leg?  

Greetings Stefan
