Hi, folks!
I am creating my first topic. So firstly, I would like to thank you for accepting me. I am a young guy from Turkey. I love history, especially: WW1, Turkish War of Independence and WW2. I would like to meet any one to inform each other about history&politics. Now, after introducing my self to you, I would like to ask my question:
I used to collect Third Reich awards but I sold my collection recently because there was no pattern in the way I collect. I was just buying the things I liked. Also, since it is extremely hard to find Third Reich awards for sale in Turkey, it was so expensive to buy. Now this summer I have a change to visit Germany. I assume I can find cheap Third Reich medals there. I was planning to collect “Schutzwall-Ehrenzeichen” or “Kriegsverdienstmedaille” because I believe they are the cheap ones; but the problem is, because I want to collect professionally, I believe I need to learn manufacturers; you know, they stamp their numbers on the chain between medal and ribbon. Can anyone please tell me all of their manufacturers’ numbers? So I can collect all of them. Thank you so much.
Best regards, from Turkey
