    1. Wow. He must've screwed up big-time to be sent to a LWFD at his age and lack of infantry experience. I doubt he would've been immediately put in charge of a Battalion like that, would he? Was he demoted? Are his officer evaluations included in those documents?
    2. This has to be one of your more impressive sets! Congratulations on this virtual time capsule. It seems as if you have the man's entire military career in that box.
    3. Cool. I cant wait to see them. It looks like a beautiful example.
    4. Thank you for sharing these beautiful awards with us!!
    5. I am so sorry to make you wait so long. Thank you. Here is the front. I am not home, so I found an original reverse to show you what it's like.
    6. Congratulations on scoring this really cool lot. When you get around to it, we'd love to see some of the highlights.
    7. Thank you so much Owain! I imagine the Orange versions are beyond rare.
    8. Here are a couple, but bear in mind that they are priced with accessories included, as pictured. https://therupturedduck.com/collections/edged-blades/products/model-36-german-ss-chain-dagger-1?variant=12092592455753 and https://therupturedduck.com/collections/edged-blades/products/model-36-german-ss-chain-dagger?variant=12092591276105 Maybe a little more than 2K. Regards Paul
    9. What a story. I bet very little coffee was needed to stay awake on that ship during watches.
    10. It looks original, with replacement ribbon. What says the rest of the staff? Sorry it took a year and a half to get back to you... I hope you still have it.
    11. Frank, I am only now seeing this thread. What an AWESOME award. You have basically would've been a citation for a Hero order. And the medal itself is a duplicate issue. Double win. Igor, as usual, thank you for posting all of this research. You brought this medal to life. I thoroughly love reading your threads. It's a bummer to see this award dropped suddenly all the way from Hero to ORB... they could've at least given him an Lenin or one of the higher screwback awards.
    12. Darn it... I wish someone saved and uploaded the images.
    13. This is a great citation. He was right outside of Warsaw during the 1944 Uprising. From the sounds of it, he was in direct combat with the Armored SS and Herman Goring Division units. WOW. I'd love to have this one someday, if you ever decide to sell or trade.
    14. I'm still blown away by this group. Egorka, thank you for tracking down and translating this article.
    15. The labor screwbacks are works of art. Maybe one day, if the prices keep falling...
    16. I love your beautifully presented threads. Yet another wonderful award to a sailor- Beyond rare. Thank you.
    17. Gerd- This is an amazing award. Thank you all for giving it a life and face.
    18. Total respect. It stinks that his grouping is all split up, but at the same time, it is cool to have a piece of this hero's estate.
