    1. I have the strangest feeling I have seen this ribbon before, but I can't put my finger on it. Hrm. I, for one, would get in line early for such a book. Weimar decorations are an infuriating hobby.
    2. ...and the lucky bidder can't even open the package without incurring the full wrath of the law. Such a shame.
    3. Does the pattern or insignia on the helmet covers depicted in these photographs ring any bells with anyone?
    4. Would that place the blue edged red ribbon as the Hessian Phillip, or as the similarly ribboned Bavarian decoration whose name completely eludes me at the moment? Also might the placement of the 1918 Jubilee be indicative of an overly royalist bent?
    5. With White Falcons being as uncommon as they are, does this look like it might be ID-able?
    6. This lapel bow is the most interesting item in a lot that will very soon be winging it's way across the Atlantic to yours truly. I wanted to throw it out there to the collective wisdom of the group for evaluation. My main questions... Officer or enlisted? I don't know enough about the St. Michael to know what grade indicates what. Is the plain red ribbon likely to be a White Falcon, or the civil grade of the Luitpold Jubilee? What sort of person would have had this sort of a combo?
    7. ...and last but not least, the label. It doesn't really show in the photograph very well, but the date is 1945.
    8. Just picked this up today, on a complete lark. Wondering if those of you who actually know something about British WW2 militaria could help shed some light on this smock, and share whatever observations come to mind.
    9. I stumbled across a gun camera in mint condition, complete with a film cartridge. I haven't had a chance to take my own photos yet, but it's the same as "Ref. 907" on this page: http://www.warbirdsite.com/museummustang.html Anybody have an idea how rare of an item this is, and what the value would be? Thanks, Chris
    10. I think that was borrowed from Monty Python...
    11. Bavarian? *perk* Do tell... Do tell... (Would it help if I told you that my middle name is Richard?)
    12. Looks somewhat Belgian, but I'm way out of my area there. Certainly nothing I've seen before.
    13. I especially like the fact that it's a allegedly a sanitized 1957 ribbon bar, but that the eagle is perched on something that has to be concealed from eBay...
    14. This ribbon bar should start this thread off to a suitably painful start...
    15. I don't remember how old those photos are, but I've had them on my hard drive for some time now.
    16. So we can't use the tartan to help with an ID? (Field Marshall MacKensen?)
    17. The front side of this medal bar currently up on eBay is odd enough...
    18. Surprising number of Baden decorations popping up here...
