This was parked at a small private airport I passed on the way in to work this afternoon. It's a YAK-11 variant, right?
-
A couple more shots.

Just came across this picture of a Bavarian medal that I've never seen before. Anyone familiar with this one?
-
This one is just plain abstract...
-
Almost looks like an upsidedown trapezoid bar that the medals are attached to...
-
Woot.

Do you have a photo of the bar?

Does anyone know how much exorcisms actually go for in this day and age?

Our Hessian buddy is back up with another one. This one would be fairly convincing, if it didn't have his trademark construction...

I think this may be the first time that I've ever seen a medal photographed in "romantic" soft focus.

No idea how it might have ended up there, but I found a Croatian army jacket at a local surplus store in California. I haven't a clue where to begin looking to research Croatian militaria, so perhaps someone here might be able to shed some light on this stuff. This patch was on the left sleeve:

The back side is where it gets interesting. The first one of these that I've been able to find.

It wasn't a huge financial outlay, so even if it proves to be bogus, I haven't ruined myself on this one. Granted, I'll be puttering around swearing a blue streak for a spell, but nothing earth shattering. As soon as it's in my grubby little paws, I'll see what I can see. -
