Not yet. I can't remember where it was either.

EK 1914 Imperial EK2 Un-marked
Tom Y replied to buellmeister's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Looks good to me, although it appears to have been repainted. Keep an eye on the "veining". It can often hide rust beneath. -
Nope, a magnet sticks to the core like glue, but not the frame. Here are a couple more I've had for quite a while. The rusty one has a blued core.
-
i've had good luck with Rust Free from PMS Products, Inc. followed by application of T-9 to keep rust from reoccurring.
-
Well, almost. This one just came in today. It has a 2 piece stamped, and seemingly silvered, steel core. Only 11.78 g.

'14, 4 piece stamped core. Unmarked

Just using my amazing newfound superpowers to post this German photo of an English tank, presumably out of commission. Hopefully someone will take the ball and run with it. Looks like a teeny weeny picture, but click on it and watch it grow

EK 1939 Denazificztion, home style
Tom Y replied to Tom Y's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
No, it was done with some kind of punch, maybe a small screwdriver, and the scratched, probably with a corner of the punch/ screwdriver to remove the rest. There are convex marks on the back from the operation. The owner was proud enough of his sevice not to be deterred by the ban on the Hakenkreuz.

A lot of you will freak over this one, but I like it. Someone didn't want to wait til '57.

Schlesischer Adler / Silesian Eagles
Tom Y replied to dond's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
Jeez, after seeing all these great examples it's almost embarrassing to post my one and only
-
Yup, I forgot about that . Shouldn't have. My Uncle Joe kept terriers instead of cats to patrol the barn. The little guy in the first photo looks a little too portly to be a good ratter, though

Two apparently different methods of suspension. Two Artillerymen im Feld with the ribbon through the cross.[attachmentid=24626] And a studio shot where the Cross seems to be hung separately, maybe from a hook?[attachmentid=24628] Does anyone have any photos of a "Wedding Bow" ?
-
You've all heard of a seadog...[attachmentid=24623] Anyone else have any puppy pix to show?
-
Like all good soldiers, they needed a little R&R now and then. But sometimes there were repecussions, as this Sch?ferhund found out.

Man's bestfriend has been associated with war since time immemorial. I can picture a Neanderthal saying, "Sic 'em, Wuff." They were used as combattants, aid workers, and for just plain companionship. This little fellow falls into the last class.
-
Maybe not regs, but the EK would make a KDM unecessary, like an Alsen ot D?ppel and no '64 KDM.
-
But which one? That was a very large family This would have gone with it.
-
Medalnet, the disc on the back of your Star appears to be knurled. Does it unscrew?
-
At the other end of the scale, a gift from a fellow member, great guy, and first class rabble rouser BTW, anyone got a spare ribbon lying around?
-
With your permission, to make things a little easier: #24 Hungarian Campaign Medal #'s11, 21, and 25 Austrian Jubilee Medal and Cross #26 Austrian MVK, Bravery Medal, all grades, Merit Medal, all grades, Verdienstkreuz, all grades, and maybe some I'm forgetting.

This one's a preliminary doc for a Knight's Cross. Let's see the rest.

You're right about the Meybauer plate. Nonmagnetic with "that taste". The clamshell's nonmagnetic, too. From the verdegris I would imagine plated brass. The rust must have come from something it was stored with.

Shamefully decadent
