Hey tony,

Excellent job, I wished I would have read this sooner....... you taking any more trips in the near future???

Eric

I'm surprised this one hasn't come up before.

"In the absence of orders, go find something and kill it."

- Field Marshal Erwin Rommel

And this is my all time favorite, It's a bit modern, When I was a young paratrooper in Panama my first Squad Leader used to say

" If your looking for sympathy, look in the dictionary, It's between syphlus and suicide"

For those of you who are going to check sympathy really isn't between syphlus and suicide

I think cooking etc. if you have to survive in the wildernis as a soldier, you will need somthing to cut branches etc. to make a hut, or for cooking etc.

So it's a knive/survival tool as well as a bajonet.

I think they are very usefull like survival, sneak attacks, out of ammo etc.

Well I'm with Chris, bayonets are a useless piece of metal, unless you need to open an M.R.E. or throwing into a tree when bored. I would actually hate to be in a survival situation with just a bayonet

and cutting branches??? your better off with a hammer. thats why 99.9% of American troops buy thier own knives for the dirty work

Eric

I knew the Epson would come up!!!! but when I take crappy pictures no one is going to steal them off this site!!.... I know it's lame I guess an Epson will be on my X-mas list.

Eric

GRRRRR it seems I already posted this group on THIS forum. I guess I should have looked first ...Oh well it's still nice

So what exactly were these guys?? Are they front line cavalry types or high speed mailmen??

I've heard everything from Uhlans to dispatch riders, Thanks for the help.

Eric

This is certainly a beauty the pics don't do it justice.

Eric

OK last one for now, Here's the ribbon bar with the broken attachment at least the owner didnt just throw it out!!

If anyone wants to see more Docs. etc... just let me know.

Thanks for looking

Eric

I especially like the Turkish star stickpins and the Regt. pins. I believe the Regiment was out of Silesia?

here it is.

I have posted this somewhere along time ago, and since Chris has me looking thru my EK documents I decided to take a few pics.

This is an absolute perfect grouping with all docs, The Turkish star and EK2 were missing from the group so I got them to complete it.other than that it's pretty much complete ...oh yeah the ribbon bar "doodad" has been broken off at some time....tooo bad. anyways here it is in all it's glory.............

Hey Mike Its non-magnetic but I've seen a few around that are almost a perfect match an they were given the thumbs up.

Thanks again guys!

Eric

I'll leave the other pics for now, If it's alright I'll post some more If it's fake

Thanks guys!!!

and tell me some good news!!!!!!!!!!

Eric

It looks to have been worn

Its not MM but it is stamped 800

these pics are bad I know but my camera was almost out of batteries so I took as many as I could , while I could

OK guys I could really use your help, just saw this cased RK I have some issues with but I would appreciate your opinions.

Heres the front

Thats actually not a bad idea, I think I might do that, thanks for the idea

Eric

Thanks for the info!!

Eric

Thanks for the info, I also have alot of of posters that look very similar to the thread you posted.they like to wave around their RPG's and AK's for propaganda. the flag was a symbol of Moqtada Sadr's militia (Mehdi militia ) they were a major pain in my A** thats for sure but I'll let them die for their country (or beliefs) any day.

Thanks guys

Eric

Thanks for the info Mike!!

Eric
