The plastic ribbon bars are great!!

I am guessing, former trench medics?

For what it is worth, I would keep it! It is definitely an interesting piece!

It is a real bummer that there are not too many collector's reference books out there... yet! Maybe one day!

Wow!! Someone must have done this out of boredom! This is the very first Jubilee repro I have seen!!! Paul

I would love to see a photo of that!(Being used on a LW uniform!)

It is one the more attractive orders. I love the deep blue enamel. I do not have a Jumbo. How difficult are these to find? Paul

Yet another great presentation! What are the top two medals?

Another great display! I have not seen too many mounted Japanese medals!

A totally awesome collection! I love the Unit Standart! Paul

Thanks for sharing these photos!! Great find!

Thanks for showing these amazing photos. For something that was underground for so long, it looks to be in great shape! Were there remains inside of the jacket when it was found or was it being stored somewhere within the cockpit when the plane was shot down?

Nice ones, John! I dont have any to share.. yet!

You have only scratched the surface! LOL

Those are some really cool models! I collected those four years ago. I still have them all in their boxes! I wonder... do these appreciate in value? I have some nice ones(Rommel and etc). Are there any LW medics or Admin yet? Paul

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Dave!

I am with everyone else here! The Glory bar is something special!! I am surprised that he was not advanced beyond Private!

I have never seen an award "upgrade" before. I would assume that he would have to return the Silver Star.

Thanks Larry!! Great catch!

Thanks Gerd! That means a lot!

This photo is only 2x3 inches. I really love superior quality of the BW photos! They capture a lot of details! They blow up very nicely!

Since picking up the Band Master tunic, I have been looking around to find all the LW band photos I could get. Fortunately, they are not nearly as rare or expensive as the tunics. I have found several thus far. This one arrived in the mail today. I have four more enroute. If you look closely, the Fliegerbluse on the left background does not have an Eagle. I have noticed the same from the other photos I have coming in as well. The photos were part of a grouping that was broken up on Ebay!!! I managed to get a few of the many. I will post the others as they arrive. I would be interested to see what you have!

It is great to see you too, Bob! You have some REALLY great LW stuff yourself! I can hardly wait to see some of it here!!! Welcome! Paul

Are photos of the excavated jacket posted anywhere?

Dont get too sucked in. It is a slippery slope. Lots of variety + very inexpensive price tag= Addiction!
