    1. Glad to see that the US is not the only place where this topic comes up annually. Is there a proposed design yet?
    2. Troy, that is a really cool collection of badges. What is the VDA?
    3. You give these weapons a new life. They would continue to decay without your work. I appreciate what you do! Keep it up!
    4. Thanks for the kind words. As I find things, I will update them here. The painful parts will be the DKiG and the Honor Roll Clasp.
    5. Thanks for the kind words Troy. I have a long way to go. Some of this stuff is hard to find!
    6. Thanks for the photos TacHel. What is this medal(or is it an Order) awarded for? Is yours numbered?
    7. I cannot wait to see what you have!! When we were working with the Russian Coast Guard last April, they had a few guys with that green hat. The Jumper came complete with a Coast Guard ship badge too! It is beautifully enamaled. I will take a photo and post it here.
    8. That is an amazing set of photos!! Thank you for sharing them with us!
    9. Yeah... That is the one. I dont think that I will ever get over that. She also got rid of my DCUs with arabic translations on the name tapes and my grandfather's rifles; all without my input while I was away on a deployment. I still have everything else. Fortunately, I donated one set of my DCUs to a VFW, so they are not all gone. This will not repeat itself again... :(
    10. Thanks Larry. For this paygrade, there are only two possiblities for job descriptions: Prufmeister- Photo analysist Werkmeister- Craftsman service- shop foreman/overseer
    11. This board is a nice score from Ebay. It is for a Kreigsrichter(Justice/Courts martial Captain equiv) Official. Notice the deep red/maroon nebenfarbe.
    12. Thanks Lorenzo. I have a few more slides that will be here in a week or so!
    13. This set is for a Colonel(pre 1991 German contract embroidery). The flag is an attempt to replace the one that was disposed of for me... It is not the same, but it is authentic.
    14. I want to share with you all a few new sets of shoulder slides that have come in. There are a few more on the horizon as well. The first one is for an officer candidate. The second set is for a 1st Lt. The hat badges came with the items with the auctions. Pretty good score!
    15. What a douche bag. He would have gotten more for the intact medal bar than for selling all of the parts individually. Another piece of history destroyed by greed.
    16. I have never seen these new Russian medals before. I find the labor related medals to be very attractive. Is the Labor Valor medal numbered?
    17. Interesting commemorative pin. Do you know when it was made? What can you tell us about it?
    18. There is a surplus store next to the base that has several BW tunics with all of the insignia(sewn on). If you would like, I can take some pics to see if there is something you like.
    19. True! Preventive exams are the best treatment! Thank you for posting this touching and personal story.
    20. That is a beautiful medal. What was it awarded for? Merit/Valor/Long Service?
