I cannot see anything wrong with the cross. I know nothing about this maker mark, but I do not see anything that makes this a reproduction to me.

Those would leave a mark.

It is nice to see intact groups like this. Thank you for sharing.

They have some beautifully enameled awards.

They seem silver to me as well. Interesting photograph.

Definitely looks Christmas-like. What is the number on the reverse?

LOL. Who did that to this old star?

My thoughts are that the ICM will not be re-instituted because it would imply that the Iraq War was restarting. Striking a new medal will admit that this is a major military campaign, which I doubt that the government wants to admit as well. I am actually surprised that the GWOT-E is being considered because it admits that the War on Terror is back on. I would have guessed that the President would have used the Armed Forces Expeditionary Service Medal.

I am sure that this has not even crossed their minds at this point.

He must have been in his mid 40s during WW1

Great proficiency badges.

Super unground rifle.

Welcome to the forums. I really like your dispay. I look forward to seeing more of your collection in the future.

What is the rank of the man sitting down? I am unfamiliar with that collar patch.

I have not seen one before.

The WB looks black to me.

Thank you! I hope to find more soon. This was a true once in a lifetime find I think.

I saw it at a local militaria show. Thanks for the kind words. It is not numbered though...

That helmet is in amazing condition, based upon its age.

Morten, I love your Narvik collection. The award document is unlike one I have ever seen before. Beautiful.

Is there any writing on the backs of them?

Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing this wonderful uniform and history. I love the military medical branch. I notice that the piping around his pips is carmine pink. Is this specific to the medical corps? I look forward to seeing your future postings.

Not many at all. I bet that this would fetch a pretty penny from collectors.

Beautifully worn patch. Can you tell what rank the man in the photo is wearing?

Don, Thank you for the information. He certainly had a long career. Paul
