    1. I'm planning a trip to the local library. It's possible I can request a copy to be sent on loan to my location.
    2. Thanks, I'll try to find a copy of one of these if I can find one for a reasonable price. These books are expensive.
    3. Thanks for the education. I'm very interested in this region and the history of Romania. Are the any english language books on this subject that are worth reading?
    4. Phleps in Romanian Uniform. I think the rank insignia is for a general.
    5. Interesting stuff. I need to do some reading to learn more about the post Great War years. It seems there's some very interesting stuff to learn about southern europe.
    6. Rick, Thanks for the reply. With the territories changing hands I would think there would be reluctance of some to serve in other armies or for government to accept soldiers changing loyalties. Phleps came to my mind as well. He has a vast array of awards in the photos of him wearing the uniform of a W-SS general. Does anyone have photos of Phleps wearing Austrian uniform or Romanian uniform?
    7. Why would Romanians serve in the Austria-Hungarian army in WW1? The Romanians were the enemy of the Central Powers. Another question; Why would Romania allow officer's who served in the A-H Army to join the Romanian Army after the war?
    8. Here a nice Austrian Tunic I have. All decorations are also real. I created the thread in the wrong forum long ago when I first became somewhat active. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1313...mp;#entry205038 I must say, finding the cap that goes with this tunic is HARD! Maybe, it's impossible to find the cap.
    9. Can anyone post photos of Austrian officer's wearing breast badges on the right side? My general's tunic has loops for a breast badge but what would fit. A Turkish War Medal may be correct but my loops are for a vertical pin arrangement. I'm not sure a Turkish Star would fit.
    10. Well, I guess this means a lot of EKIs are not original. I never thought of these awards this way but I guess it makes sense. Most people don't want non issue GMVK, HHO, etc.
    11. This unusual bar was found on a dealers site. What are your opinions? "Black Cross Military Collectibles" I've never seen anything like it.
    12. I like that photo. He has a great set of awards, the kind I like to collect.
    13. Wow, I've never seen a ribbon bar or order bar like that. That's very interesting for sure...
    14. Thanks Rick, This bar's a keeper... I'm glad I saved this one. I sold off most of the other 3rd reich bars.
    15. The bar looks much better in hand. The photo make the ribbons look out of alignment but to my poor eyes it looks good.
    16. I'm working with a digital camera and though I'm getting better I still have a long way to go. Sorry...
