      Harrier That's a nice selection of clasps! Thanks for sharing. Rich

      I hope you are able to post some pics. If you can please do not just limit it to clasps!! Rich

      Harrier Having been collecting for forty years you must have a very impressive collection. I would love to see that as I'm sure others would too. Can you share any of your collection with us here? Rich

      Personally I think a good cross with a decent length of ribbon and good condition case will start not be below ?5000. My reasoning being: Cross including a decent length of ribbon ?4400 (based on the cheapest: S&L/K&Q) Case ?900 +/- It's such a difficult price to give as there are so many factors involved. I think you'd be looking at ?7000 +/- for a nice Juncker (based on prices I've seen lately). Rich

      Ian Here's a quick link the the luftwaffe badge database: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?automodule=gal...eq=sc&cat=8 I think the key for you is to learn what a good piece should look like. Get to know their characteristics and design features then the rest will fall into place. Ask plently of questions, there will always be someone to help out. Rich

      I think the paint on the wreath hides a lot of detail but it seems a genuine late piece to me. Rich

      Ah... OK, makers are stamped on the reverse of each. Top: Klein & QuenzerBottom: Walter & HenleinRich

      Unfortuntely this one is a known fake. Rich

      I would agree with Gene. Don't see any problems with that one. Rich

      Peter My example weighs 44.7g Dimensions 63 x 63 Regards Rich

      David Congratulations on a really nice RK. I think the wait was worth it! I would agree with you regarding the ribbon being most likely wartime stock. Also very nice! Not sure about the oaks/swords... they seem to be lacking any sort of detail on the obverse which looks really odd. Rich

      Um, yes... at the time of posting, I didn't feel flag was the correct term but my mind was on other things and I couldn't kick it into gear to come up with colours. Wish I could remember if there was a description of each one. Rich

      Lastly, this nicely tarnished EK2 in packet by Karl Hensler. The ribbon ring is unusually thick. The cross itself is unmarked so I can't say for sure if it belongs to the packet. Rich

      Here's a few more additions... This rather nice, dare I say it mi... no, let's not upset the purists... very good condition EK1 by K&Q but unmarked. The core looks untouched and the frosting light.

      On a recent trip, I took these and thought I would share them with you. I cannot remember if there was information about them in the cathedral. Regards Rich

      Peter From what I can see, it looks fine. These are well faked so it would be useful for you to provide dimensions. The movement of the swastika is typical from this maker. Here's a quick pic of mine (I'll see if I can find a pic of the reverse). Rich

      While not a medal, I thought you might find this interesting if you have not seen it before. It is found in Downpatrick Cathedral, where St Patrick is supposedly buried. Rich

      All the items I can offer an opinion on have already received all the words they require as authentic items. All excellent pieces coming from one of the leading Luftwaffe collectors in France. Coming from Fran?ois, there would never be any doubt. Rich

      Bob Lovely goblet. Unfortunately I have no idea to the writing but can add info on the DK: DKiG 12-7-1943 5./KG26 als Uffz. Rich

      John Your '1st' pattern is the only one I have ever seen and is a superb specimen! Rich
