      John Great Xmas pressie!! You don't see so many of these Assmann's as you'd think! Rich

      Excellent! Look forward to seeing them. Rich

      John: that's tragic. Jan Arne : Should have known you'd have more than one Rich

      The way the pin is mounted in the hinge feels flimsy. Are your OM's like that too?

      Well it was time to achieve another first for my collection... You don't see them often and Marc's beauty from the Kassel show was the motivator. Underneath the patina is a almost mint finish. Difficult to capture but when the light catches the highlights they sparkle. Some pics to follow for your viewing pleasure. Rich

      After drooling over Marc's OM from the Kassel show, I'm happy to have added this OM to my collection.

      Claudio I had suspicions it might be a Godet bar but what actually tells you it is? I had thought from the Hanseatic as I recall seeing one like this one ebay in a Godet marked case but didn't save the pics so I couldn't confirm. Do you think the EK2 is also Godet? Rich

      Guys, Thanks for the comments. Rick, I know what you mean about the usual finish on Hanseatics. I have another on a court mounting and the quality of the centre disk is quite bland when comparing to this one. Regards Rich

      Micha Thanks for the attempt. I'm hoping the unique style of numerals will help ID this one. Rich

      Hinrik Sorry to see that your pride and joy is a modern reproduction. This is also a prime case that shows there still are engravers out there that can still produce superb engraving. Beware everyone! Rich
    13. Richard Gordon
      By all means! Here's the back. A little mothing but thankfully no damage to the ribbons. Rich

      I recently acquired this trio and would like to show pics of it. The Hamburg cross is a real beauty and the Hindenberg is non-magnetic. The whole bar exhibits super quality. Rich

      Can anyone identify the maker of this EKII? The numerials are fairly distinct so might help.

      Eric Very tasty badge! You might find this interesting: Amelung, Heinz-G?nther Luftwaffe Hauptmann 5./Stuka-Geschwader 77 15. Juli 1942 That's right, an RKT!! http://www.das-ritterkreuz.de/index_search...rchword=Amelung Rich

      Here's a pic of the catch on my Schneider. No evidence that it has been any other shape other than what you see here. Rich

      Nice flaks! No immediate problems with you badge Rosenberg. Here's another to compare. If I remember correctly there are 2 styles of eagle which can be found. Rich

      I personally think the 'bridge' is there on purpose and only on later badges, especially zinc, as a strengthening measure. I have seen 2 styles of catch on tombac examples, the ? and a straight-up and over catch. If I get light tomorrow I'll post a pic of what I mean. I like your badge mucho, nice patina and even though a repair to the pin/hinge, a nice badge. Rich
    20. Richard Gordon
      Stunner!!

      Here's my minty example. I have one other which has heavy patina and lightly convexed and a minty L/52 1914 EK1 with WWI style frames. Rich

      Jacques/Marcus, thanks for the comments. Regarding the different styles of central medallion, if I recall correctly, wasn't this down to the different makers? Ega?a being the most known ( I have no idea who the other makers are ) and recognised by the enamelled berries? Rich

      Rivet set-up Rich
    25. Richard Gordon
      Here's one offered to me. I feel it is a fine, period example but I'm not a scholar on these awards so best to have you chaps give your opinions. Rich
