    1. There are some rare beauties in there!!!
    2. I thought I was going insane!! I did not know that he was wearing the Flak waffenfarbe at the time! LOL Paul
    3. It is a rather comical looking man. It reminds me of "Spy v/s Spy" comics. I am disappointed that the Belgian government is requiring these people to pay out of pocket for these. Surely they are taxed well enough.
    4. How in the world did you get all this stuff back?
    5. Were these awarded in large numbers to the French forces, or only in exceptional circumstances?
    6. The patriarch of all EK2s! AMAZING with original ribbon. Hard to believe that this was made shortly after the American Revolution!
    7. Amazing photos Ulsterman! Interesting full figure on the Admin official, but he does have an awesome medal bar!
    8. Now these are great bringbacks! I love that banner.
    9. Just goes to show how inaccurate it is to try to decipher waffenfarbe in black and white photos. That is a great portrait! Silvart, Those photos definitely have a panzer destruction badge on the right arm!!! Very nice indeed! I have not seen a period LW photo with one before.
    10. Since this was such a small unit used for mainly propaganda, I wonder what SS-Hauptsturmf?hrer Hans Werner Roepke could have done to have been relieved of command? It sounds like it would have been the perfect "cake" billet.
    11. Congradulations Paul!! Any clues to the number awarded?
    12. Beautiful!! What are these orders awarded for? How many were awarded?
    13. All I have seen was a period photograph in a reference book. I would love to see a true piece of period militaria from that unit.
    14. I know!! I had duty 14 days ago!! I am sending Garth a MO for some of the loot tomorrow(I think all except the Flying Leader set).
    15. Wow!! That many!! I remember Igor looking for this one for while for me, back in 92. Any idea what these are fetching these days? I have not seen one for sale for a very long time!
    16. Francois, Stunning display of personal effects. I am glad to see that this much has stayed together.
    17. Yes. And because of my "Responsible Job", I do not get a compensatory day off. I know... it can always be much worse, so I am not crying about it... too much!
    18. 1. The black center stripe is narrower and the red stripes are wider on the KVK. 2. The medal bar is in the correct order if the medal was a Kyffhauserbund Medal and completely out of order if the medal was supposed to be a KVK2. 3. There is no Hindenberg Cross Present, which should be on the medal bars of WW1 Veterans after 1934.
    19. Here is my only example. Are there any ideas of the number of these awarded?
