What are their names?

Thank you for sharing this award. From medic to officer. Bitbis a great citation and beautiful award.

Did the Soviets ever utilize miniature Medals? I did not think they had them.

These are all that I know of. I just wish we had paid first class travel anywhere.

Absolutely stunning bars. I always love seeing them. ESP the kvm bars.

After about ten years of envy, a friend of mine finally broke down and sold this beautiful group to me. He bought it from a well-known collector who received it directly from the family. Sadly, the documents and a few other items were sent separately and LOST in the mail. He was on the ship, LEIPZIG. Since he served near Morocco, he received the Moroccan Order of Mehdi instead of that more familiar red/white ribboned Spanish award. I have the child's name who sold the awards, so maybe with some time, I can locate the ship's roll and locate that name. I suspect with the inclusion of the tally, he was enlisted.

I agree with the above. I like how the ribbon prongs have oxidation on the backs consistent with the reverse of the bar. And there does not seem to be signs of metal tampering(scrapes, recent bending, and etc), from what I can see. I think that someone tried to replace the metal device on the long service ribbon.

Does any of our members have any thoughts? My limited opinion on these highly desirable and reproduced items is that they seem to legitimate to me. Somethings, like legitimate looking oxidation and manufacturing methods, are difficult to reproduce. What do the more experienced members of these items have to say?

What time frames are these? The quality seems very high.

Beautiful examples. I love the sheet metal versions because they tend to hold on to their finish a bit better than the zinc.

I cant wait to see what folks find as well.

Very nice. It may be my bad eyesight, but I dont see any real damage. Where is it?

Just seeing this... I've been away and busy with school, work. and etc... and now I am back! :-) Thank you Hucks!

It looks like a patriotic pin. Not US military. Can you please post an image of the reverse?

Do you have all of these things displayed together?

Thank you sir. I’ve also seen medical waffenfarbe.

That liner is in amazing condition. M42 is my favorite style.

Hello sir. I am sorry to do this to you, but the tunic itself is post war. Secondly, the collar tress you have on it is for an NCO. Finally, Fallschirmjager used mainly yellow waffenfarbe.

Let’s see it. Maybe it’s not as bad as you thought.

Beautiful mounted examples. I love that duo!

Hello Andreas, Please explain the Baden medal. Why is it most likely? Regards Paul

Thanks GreyC, for sharing that magazine. I understand now! Very interesting. Morton, you scored a very nice photo there. I've never seen the winged device on a GL tunic before. I wonder if this is some sort of rank or paygrade for a certain period of time. I also like to see the LW civilian personnel pin on the tunic and hat. I wonder if the color on the collar and shoulder straps is red or yellow...? It almost seems as if it will be a sort of red.

Good day, I am doing some research on this person(Conscripted), who was in the Reichsmarine est. 1900. Where can I go to find archival information on a personnel from this era? Regards PaulR Reichsmarine specified here. (Jailer ad).

Thanks for that interesting information. Is the building still in use!

Nice score Bill. Ive not seen this combination before!
