      Hi, Great picture of some old vets that knew only victory. They all look really proud, especially the EK2 trager, this was before the EK2 was greatly debased. Maybe the crazy hat is some sort of regional costume? Regards, Sam

      Hi, Thanks for taking the time to look up the information. I agree, of course. I just thought that the issue had come up in a past thread. Kind regards, Sam

      Hi, Nice bar, Godet is the best and the Saxe-Meiningen Ehrenkreuz für Verdienste im Kriege is one of the best looking imperial state decorations for bravery. I think there is still a question as to this decoration being awarded to officers only . I always thought so, but I think others here have proven they were given to NCO's as well. Kind regards, Sam K.

      Hi, I'm sorry, but I can't remember exactly which one. I had several books on AFV's, but I sold them recently. Perhaps it was a different photo, but the same crew? Several of the individuals stand out in my memory is why I think I've seen it before. Regards, Sam

      Hi, I'm quite certain this photo has been published. I'm certain I've seen it in publications dealing with the A7V's. Regards, Sam

      Hi, Great Pics, thanks for sharing. Finnish orders and medals are among my favorites. The uniforms are fantastic as well. Great museum. Regards, Sam

      Hi, It would seem this is a flying club badge- see here in WARLORD'S thread:http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5516&st=20

      Wow!, That's an understatement in this case. Great uniform and very interesting thread. Many thanks for showing this to the forum. Kind regards, Sam K.

      Hi, Nice photo. A two row medal bar! I had no idea Ritter Von Epp was so well decorated. Kind regards, Sam K.

      Great! This a fantastic "new" resource. Regards, Sam

      Indeed, a lot of them look like they came out of a Cracker Jack box. Much worse quality than their American counterparts. Regards, Sam

      Hi, I had never heard of a challenge coin until my son joined the Army back in 2002. I myself spent 8 years in the USMC. When did this practice start and what exactly are they for? I'm still don't really understand them even after my son gave me a somewhat rambling explanation. Kind regards, Sam

      Hi, Very nice indeed. I wonder if he survived the war and was able to mount his EK2 (perhaps in a more up to date style of bar )

      Hi, Are the center medallions attached seperately? Regards, Sam

      Hi, Very interesting thread. It would seem that of all the armies in the world, the German army would certainly have the regulations concerning these subtleties in print somewhere. Thanks, Sam

      Hi, I agree that the crown detail is outstanding, as well as the "W", very crisp. Regards, Sam
