This was a common tactic, especially by PF instructors..... there was not a separate collar issue made with separate dies.

 

hi sabadgeman

only just seen your reply... thanks...

sorry if I'm a bit lacking!  would you mind expanding on your answer for me? I would like to 'understand' them...

is it that if they didn't get their own issue they were known to take others and after some alteration, like this perhaps, then use that themselves?  

cheers tony

Hi Simon

sadly I havent followed things up with research....

i used to know more about some. A couple I have MIC roll copies for somewhere but that's about it.

I'm having a serious rummage to reassess what I have. Maybe once that's done I'll spend the time looking into these properly.

Mainly I have collected Austro Hungarian pictures but even those I still haven't researched.

Only got on-line 2 years ago when my mum gave me her old I-phone!

Kev,

 

That's correct, two different inscriptions for Military and civilian awards.

The gold version with the eagle below the ribbon was awarded to high ranking officers with an extremly long military service.

 

Aufschriften:

 

"Milit?r" : FRANC.IOS.I.D.G.IMP.AVSTR.REX.BOH.ETC.AC.AP.REX.HVNG.

"Zivil" : FRANC.IOS.I.D.G.IMP.AVST.REX.BOH.ETC.ET.REX AP.HVNG.

 

 

Regards Eddie

I'm just home from a friends 50th and I read this.... love it!

Hi Gents, Chris,

thanks

tony

Hi Gents

a friend has a few items on the way. I usually get first refusal on some bits...

ive been looking around to Id these two. But not seen the first at all...

The first Looks like TSU?

- Tyrol Security / police unit - Ww2 

The second looks like an Albanian flag from '92 onwards but as Tyrol has used similar im not sure. Also the wing are a round design not straight top to bottom.

Any thoughts appreciated Gents...

cheers 

tony

Tony,

Only just seen this, some very nice cards indeed. Would like to view them under a glass to attempt to positively identify each Regiment.

Regards Simon

Hi Simon

id spotted the RM one before but not the others.  Absolutely top notch.  

Thanks for highlighting them...

and i agree they should be revived and prominent.

Tony,

Will be good to see all your items in those threads, Leigh did a great job setting them up and with a bit of effort I'm sure we can keep them going.

Regards Simon

Thanks Ulsterman

i wasn't aware it was such a small timespan. Good to know.

My family left Vienna in 1938 so I think that confirms he didn't collect his.

cheers

As an aside-very few of the residents of Ostmark applied for and received an HK. The medal was authorized for Ostmarkers only in 1939 and frozen in early 1940. 

Great thread Gents
