Hi gentlemen, thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, I don't have an MC yet, but hope to get one someday. This is my first British Decoration, my other British pieces are campaign medals, not a lot of those either yet. Unfortunately the price of campaign medals, like other nationalities have sky rocketed lately.

Bit bored at the moment so I thought I would post my latest Aquisition, A CBE 1st Type complete with full neck ribbon and fixings, just like when His/Her Royalness's would have plonked it over your head

Hi Knarf, welcome to the forum by the way, no you havn't bored us, it is always interesting to hear about other "Not so obtainable" artifacts being salvaged, saved, call it what you will. As you have said, a lot of mundane every-day items which were produced had very little real value to them in the monetary sense, or even in a political sense, so were not collected or saved. It is, unfortunately, only when these items have been destroyed or otherwise lost that there becomes an appreciation of the ones that do survive. I certainly like the new use you have put for the anti-tank rocket containers

Hello Knarf, that seems an interesting find, please post some when you get the chance. It's nice to see that someone is trying to save these, instead of them being destroyed.

Alex

That's a very nice find Chris.

Hi Nan su, very nice cross. I have an L/11 with maker mark in box below the clasp, I would ask the question, is yours or any others posted, convex? mine is slightly convex, whats more the box it came in has a convex inner piece where the cross sits. Attached, unfortunately not clear from the photo.

Hi Gentlemen, thanks for the compliments. It's pleasing to Know that sharing info is appreciated.

Hi Christian, that's interesting as I never thought that they may be non military uniforms. Unfortunately soviet isn't my strongest point.

Hi, No I'm sorry I don't own the pictures but they were from a BBC Web site link, I think this is the one. ( I'm going from memory.)

Hi Ed , thanks for the comment. I am glad to post so that they can be seen by others. I suspect that some of them may well be quite rare as original posters.
