Compact for a 3 place.

Prussian frack.

Siam and China - never get enough of those!

I am with Chris - devices are wrong. Not only how they are attached but also where. I would also say parts bar as the ribbon order is wrong. I will admit that I do not know what they all are.

I have had this item for about 3 years now and every year or so I will post it to see if anyone else has one or to see if anyone has the green ones that go with it as I would like to buy one of those. This is for a Janitor or elevator operator and by the size was made to be worn on an overcoat. Thanks for looking.

From that picture the dagger looks pretty standard. I would expect more from him with his taste. Is there anything on the blade? The badges would have been a nice thing to "liberate"!

Something seems strange about this piece. The gold thing on the end is the kind of thing I have to keep my inside doors from opening too far and allowing the handle to hit the wall. I do not think that piece of the item is old.

Do you own one of these? If you want me to I will brake out the new camera and get much better pictures for you. PM me your Email so I can send BIG pictures.

Well, I tried cold water and it didn't work!

Forgot this little one. I think this came from Stogieman a few years ago.

This cloth badge looks like it had been on a tunic at one time.

The backside. No visible markings.

Here is a neat little piece I picked up about a year ago in a trade. I thought it was interesting but I do not collect Feuerwehr stuff. One day I was looking in the OEK and saw a grainy picture of it (326) and I was surprised at the price tag on it. I have kept my eyes open and have only found one other one. Are there any more here? They were given in 1934-36 so I think that there were not too many given out in such a short period.

A friend of mine beat me to it at a show. I had to give him double what he payed for it to get it in a trade. Still it was the best $20 I've spent in a few years.

I think this is it for me. Rick L helped me on this one. I like it because it is a two war bar without a Hindenburg Cross. I seem to not like those anymore due to their connection with the TR.

Here is a small gem from my collection.

Here is a ribbon bar I picked up at a local show. I am not sure how many NC things I do have.

My only example of this award in my little collection. Sorry so late but I was having PC issues. :flame:

Christian, If those should ever become for sale would you please contact me. I LOVE the little enamel lapel devices.

Very nice and complete set! Saxon stuff is nice! I do have one question - why are the swords on the ribbon bar in gold? I realize that these crosses are attached to to the orders but looking at the ribbon bar I would expect an AR2. Was there any type of regulation on this or is gold accepted as these are part of the order family?

Here is a picture of a common flaw on Floch pieces. I noticed this a few years ago. If you look you can find this on EK1s, KVK1s and the L/14 Gold WB. NOTE: not all pieces have this flaw on the pin. It was corrected at some point but I did use it to tie the three fakes to the same maker. There is a slight indentation on the left side that I am trying to point to. Look at the other pictures and you will see it in most of them. Funny thing is that is seems to only appear on the left side. I have never found one otherwise.

Is that the one from Chris? VERY nice! I want to find one of these one day. They fascinate my mechanical side.

Here is one from the same maker in the case of issue. It had the receipt allowing the owner to pick it up folded up in the box. Most of you know the story.

Stogieman, remember this little gem? It is still here safe and sound. They made some of my favorite medals and orders and they made this bar!

Here is one I think is metal. I have never really poked at it to see.
