    1. Trying to figure out what this is and what medals these ribbons denote . . . marked "Italia" on the back: Thanks in advance for any comments.
    2. Interesting! Many thanks! Thanks for that! I'm going to see about selling or trading this, as it doesn't fit my area, but it has been interesting to learn about, I have to say!
    3. Thanks! Not many coming up. Anyone have an idea of value? Would the Luftschutz have been sort of like Home Guard?
    4. Thanks! How can you tell or what makes you think so? I was trying to match up by pictures, but I don't know all the little details to pay attention to.
    5. Beautifully made out of wool like you never see now! From looking online, I'm thinking it is a pre-TR Kyffhauserbund armband? Hope this is the right board to post this in, but I would welcome any information about this piece. My appreciation in advance. Cheers! Back:
    6. Don't know anything about this other than that it is a Luftschutz armband and has a "B" sewn on it in white. Any help with further ID is welcome! This is not my realm of collecting, so I'm a complete newbie. Appreciate any thoughts. Cheers! Back:
    7. Hi, again! Just need a little help from someone who knows these medals. Do you think this is a WWII-era one?
    8. Oh, thanks ever so much! Appreciate this, as I was really hoping these were French medal ones and not a US ROTC thing. Also interesting about the early button type! I wondered about the differences!
    9. Thanks so much! They look like WWII uniforms! Really nice!
    10. Trying to figure out what these two service women are who were seen at the entrance to Westminster Abbey during the Queen's Funeral yesterday. The uniforms look really like WWII uniforms, and we've been trying to ID them. Anybody know what these are?
    11. Thanks for the information! I wasn't sure, as I don't really know a lot about British medals. I only have one WWII one, and did get a copy of an MC (not an original). I'll do some looking for the Platinum Jubilee medal! I have something different from her Coronation, Silver, Golden, Diamond . . . thought it might be fun to try for a medal for the Platinum.
    12. Question about the Queen's Platinum Jubilee medal. Can you own one if you weren't awarded it? Also, if you are - can you get one? I know some British medals are made in unofficial strikes/repros.
    13. Thanks so much! So appreciate that! I'm thrilled! Is the one missing a crown on the metal end or is that just a difference of maker?
    14. Hi! Here are pictures of the last two that I have, and I'm hoping that these are MEdaille Militaire. There is a difference to the brass end, as one has a crown and one does not. Do you think these are for the Medaille Militaire? Thanks for any help! Really appreciate it!
