And here is the Award and the Award Book ! Award nr 663 awarded 1963 to Vladimir Avramov (I think) Christer

Just have to show you my latest Badges! Honor member of Sofia ( I think that?s the right translation, but if I am wrong please correct me) There where two classes I and II my first one was a class II in the box and I thought , wow what a nice badge But Then this come by my way A First class with box and orginal award cert A wonderful cert bounded in red Leather I suppose theese people must have been really high appriciated in the Comunistic society? Anyone who has some info about theese Sofia Badges? On the Pic the box for II class to the left then the I class and the award cert Christer

Hi all, and thanks for the comments Sorry to say, the pic has no date or anything written on the back but still interesting, I just bought another pic with a WWII soldier wearing TWM, as soon as it arrives I will post it here. Thanks again, theese card is always a fountain of mysteries Christer

Jackpot ! Thanks rast , that was perfect, now I know a lot more about theese pictures, just wonderful! Have a nice weekend ! Christer

Hi, What about this guy? I bought this pic because of the "Gallipoli Star" and his KriegsMarine Uniform so I thought he was maybe a former member of SMS Goeben or something like it. And today the pic arrived and suprise ! Hes ribbon bar consists of Karl Truppen Kreuz - HEK - Austrian 1915-18 - ?? - Hungary war medal and ?? A Austrian in Turkey? with no combat awards ecept for a Turkey Star? What do you say Gentlemen, any ideas? Christer

And the last one for tonight ! Two Tanks destroyed , I suppose somewhere in Flandern? Now I have to go and hunt for more pics Christer

And another one ! Here its written Cambrai on the back Christer

Next one seems to have missed the Bridge? Or maybe it made the brifge collapse? On the backside its written "Canal of Massni?res" ? Christer

Hallo Gentlemen! I wonder if there is anyone who could help me with identity of the Tanks? I know very little about WW 1 Tanks so any info will be great ! First out is a knocked out one on the West Front

Next one is a Ship from the famous White Star Line RMS Cymric. Bulit 1897 and 12552 tons. Torpedoed by German Submarine U 20 NW of Fastnet 8th May 1916 and sunk the following day with the loss of 5 lives. And Yes, the submarine U-20 was the same submarine that sunk Lusitania. Christer I keep looking for more unlucky ships

Two More ships in my collection! First out is a private Photo of Orcades from the Orient Line Launched in 1937 23456 ton, and sunk by torpedos out Cape of Good Hope in 1942 while sailing as a troopship 48 people followed her to the bottom. Christer

Hi all! I don?t Think I Have showed this little bar did I ? As I get older my memory gets shorter If I read it right it is EK - Preuss VK - Oldenburg (FA kr or Red Cross?) - Braunschweig KvK NC - LS - 1897 ? What do you think ? a doctor from a Oldenburg/Brusnwick Rgt ? Sorry for the blurred pic of backside, I try again to scan it better if anyone wish. All the best from Imperial Sweden! Christer

Great Collection ! It?s always nice to see some new ideas to show the collection. Superb! Christer

Wow ! Thats the first one I ever seen of the Type 3! Have anybody ever senn a pic of this type in wearing? I saw it listed in the new mongolian book. Thanks for showing it Bob, now I have to go and get three more jobs just to get 4K $ ....... Christer

Nice one , Sivart! I love to see them complete with documents. If you are interested please look at my website http://bayoswede.zoomin.se/index/29788.html and if you have pics of any of the missing maker marks right now about 70 !! out of app 200 I would be most grateful for any help. Christer

I recieved my ex today ! Quite nice photos , but very little explanation to different types But still some more Badges then the old Book (Herfurths that is) Raises more questions that answered I think..... Christer

Great Card and Great story behind it ! "A photo can tell you more than a tousand words" Christer

Here is another new badge in my collection! (Yes my wife thinks I am crazy) But I think this was so nice , a membership badge for Bulgarian-Soviet Friendship from 1954 III Class, theese badges exited only for 10 years with Stalins picture and the third class was of course most common. But Here it is complete with a Doc !! Much more fun And now when my wife walked away I can assure you that I am going to look for the rest of badges ...... hi hi hi There are six of them, 5 to go All the best christer

And the backside of it ! Just cost me 9,99 $ , seems like a good price Christer

Here is my newest Bulgarian Badge! After I bought the Great Book Bulgarian Badges By Dietrich Riemer I found a lot of Interesting Badges Here is the First Partisan Badge , very nice and quite big Christer

Hi again, I put better pics of the bar, now safely in my home on the newer thread with Imperial awards to ladies All the best from Sweden Christer

Just to raise your imagination ! It would be rather nice wouldn?t it? Now I have to go hunting a Red Cross Merit cross or something similar Christer

And here is the backside ! You can see the stiches where the the two missing medals have been The Question is now ? Should I get the two missing awards and make it complete again or ??? Christer

I suppose my new Medal bar have a place in this thread This must have been a High end Nurse or some sort of Hospital Chief? Red Cross III + Honor Cross NC + Red Cross II + Red Cross something All Fullsize medals! And wonderful made Christer

Ha Ha Ha Now I will always keep my boxes closed, who knows what could be found inside.... Maybe a new area for collectors? I saw that some time ago someone sold a hair from "Red Baron " on EBAY maybe this is the rest? Christer
