I've never seen another such tag!

Although not Heer, it fits the profile!!

I would risk it being the same person.

Wow! What a bar! Who did this belong to? The number of foreign awards is mindblowing!

It looks the part to me! Very nice! I'd love to have a complete group with this, but dont have a house to sell yet.

Such quality items. Where are you finding them all?

Very cool find! you are so lucky!

Yes! A nice GL uniform! Czech converted garment. I really love the detail on the KVK without swords emblem.

Here is the coolest ribbon bar ever! I love the KVK2/os

What a grouping! This man is a hero. Did this come straight from the family?

That looks like one of the books out of the John Angolia series on the KM. I do not have this series. I only have Heer and Luftwaffe. "Uniforms and Traditions of the Kriegsmarine." It is out of print, but still available online. Even used copies demand a premium. I'd keep an eye on Ebay. https://www.google.com/search?q=Angolia,+Kriegsmarine&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjIm821qvnNAhVEJx4KHa76BbMQ_AUICCgB&biw=1366&bih=599

The past 30 days, I displayed my two Generalluftzeugmeister sets. The first is from a converted French overcoat. These were among the most common uniforms for these men early in the war. The service caps are made specifically for this organization and never had the national eagle. The second tunic is a converted Czech model, redyed LW blue and a standard LW EM cap. The badge, often mistaken for a visor insignia, is actually a breast national eagle. There is no evidence whatsoever to support this organization's use of a visor cap or this insignia on any headgear. I am still trying to determine the waffenfarbe system. I think that these were the only two colors and they may be specialty or rank based.

More great bars. The firefighter's set is very nice.

I thought that PAB in Bronze were for non-tanks, such as Hetzers, STUGs, and etc.

That is another spectacular photo.

What a lovely set! I am most envious! I am curious about what the research on two bravery medals will reveal. This will determine my take on the set.

Oh I love that photo. An S-Boat badge too. Very nice set up!

That is a great looking photo Morten. I look forward to seeing more!

You did the right thing. It was a "deal" for a reason. I think that you dodged a bullet here. What was the citation on the catch up award? What was it awarded for?

Did the entire unit receive the award, or a single individual?

I am actually amazed at the velocity which Soviet awards are falling lately. What drove them up to their previous heights to begin with?

Those are some outstanding bars. I like the rescued three row Air Force bar. Are any of those mini's named? Like Chris, I think that the US/British medal bar is something special. I've never seen anyone who actually served in two different countries wear them on the US uniform. Foreign awards received while in the US armed forces- yes. But not award received while in service of another country. Regardless, it is a really interesting set.

This one is for Syria as well. What is the difference between these two awards?

I am rounding up medals now... Just clarifying. The Wilhelms Cross- is this with or without swords?

When I complete school, I will be able to be more active in this area. As you all know, I am taking my MA in Military History. I've written a bunch of research papers to this date. Do you think that sort of thing would be too dry to post here?
