    1. I am not an authority on these insignia, but I will get some members who do know about them to take a look!
    2. Yep. I remember the three skippers getting theirs. I also know of a certain OSC who was awarded one, for Merit, and one other... I remember the cutters getting the CAR. I cannot believe that it has already been over three years now.
    3. Now what I am looking for, exactly, when I ignite the thread?
    4. The one I replaced, glows. The other does not. The both feel 100% and I believe it glows because it was exposed to something.
    5. Does that mean that I am no longer the evil Paul? Have I finally shed that title?
    6. That is another great setup. This one is another first for me!! Well done!
    7. I guess it would have to do with the quantity/quality of the direct contribution to the planning and execution of the multinational exercise?
    8. "Just" $68,500. That is close to the net worth of ALL of my collectibles!
    9. The maker is Vanguard. They make most of our medals and and ribbon bars.
    10. Another great set! Anyone know how the grade of the award was determined for each member? Was it a ranking oriented decision or subsequent awards ?
    11. Although they look similar, they are two different dies.
    12. I am considering the sale of at least one of these to fund a purchase. I am just verifying that they are OK before I look like an idiot on the sales page.
    13. great finds!! The photo quality was great back then. I did not know that those field flashlights existed then!!
    14. That is one attractive uniform. Carmine really does look sharp! I have always wondered about the lack of the swastica insignia on the tunics. Was this intentional?
    15. Jos, That is an amazing collection. I have not seen so many in one photo! Is one of them Gold in color?
    16. This is the first document I have seen for this medal. It is of the highest quality!!
    17. I dont own one, but you guys have posted some great examples. I really like the Luftwaffe Official's grouping. Can you please make a new thread and post some closeups of his photo and paperwork? Admin stuff is of particular interest to me!!
    18. A case where one man positively impacted the lives of many... RIP!
    19. I dont think so. I was around when we lost our one member to enemy fire. A shipmate was wounded and received the Purple Heart. I did not see him get a Bronze star though. I have seen him since and he was not wearing the BS ribbon either. Paul
