Some really nice gems there BC 👍 and thanks for sharing with some great photo`s.

Thanks Graf for the very informative reply 👍, even made me dig out my own Iron Time to browse through again. Cheers Ashley

sorry for the delay i have been looking through a few references, but i am afraid i can`t find an answer as the only personnel (beside the mechanics) would of been the HG tank crews because i don`t think the mech overalls has breast eagles applied? If you can locate the the three volume set on the L/W the answer may be there 🙂 Good luck.

Super, there are some great crosses shown here with some rare and unusual fixing methods 👍 (always good to see the reverse`s). Any particular rare makers you have identified ? Thanks for showing

Hi, is it a breast, peaked, or overseas cap eagle do you know ?? cheers

Saschaw can we see the full inscription please 👍

You may stand more chance of a response in the German third Reich decorations and awards section 🙂

Hhmmm interesting, may be able to claim on behalf of my father (RIP).

Copied this from another site ....

well i suppose items like vinyl stickers for vehicles etc are ordered as and when needed rather than kept in stock, as apposed to metal insignias.

I thought that in a recent interview it was stated the Charles (being eco friendly etc) wanted all existing stocks (of medals+) to be used before new ones were to be struck?

Hmmm by no means an expert ...but would a screwback be RZM marked?? for a non party award.

Hi to all, a couple of pictures of an OS one piece Imperial ek2 which have been highly lightened to see definition for your enjoyment. height= 42.9 mm width = 43.4 mm thickness =3.1 mm cheers Ashley weight = 19.9 gr

Thanks 👍

Once these helmets were disregarded by the helmet collecting fraternity and therefor were relatively cheap to acquire and i reality still are. Often seen being worn by the DAK and also other troops in the Mediterranean areas.

Thanks 👍

Just found these photo`s of the 1870 Jubilee core (?) bit of a poor definition on the upper circle of the figure "8".

Hello, here are some better pictures of one of the crossed i will post more when i can relocate them 🙂 This particular cross has the 25 yr oakleaf cluster and though not shown has 2 holes in further up the band so it looks as though it may of had a bar attached some time.

Very nice indeed Vince superb !

Disgusting !!!!!! such a shame to see all this garbage being sold as real. I for one will stay well clear for Imperial orders and decorations other than E.K.s and they are hard enough.

Hi Vince, i am still trying to translate all that loverly paper work you posted 🙂 bit by bit ...lol

Hi all, the reverse of the first class has been posted before on here but have included it again. All of us are eager to see closer shots of the EKs and the reverse of 1st Class Also The bar is given only few times and to get an original will be nearly impossible task There are so many fakes of them on the market especially eBay Germany Hi Peter i have long wanted a 1914 bar, have seen two lately (but both with repaired pins) but have resisted due to cost 😞 as other projects have to be finished....

Hi to all here is a shot of my 1870 EK`s for your enjoyment. I know the type `B` has the wrong band on it but that's how i acquired the cross almost 40 yrs ago

Great post displaying great examples.pmes of this award. Thanks for showing w?

Hi, sorry for the delay in answering but i disposed of my Kriegsmarine books long ago but am sure the small anchor badge is worn on the swimming trunks /but in all honesty i am thinking they may be Bundesmarine as they bear no resemblance(in my mind) to Kriegsm. badges ?? cheers Ashley
