    1. Wow! Those are some awesome Austrian bars. You have some real nice ones.
    2. Looks like it is OK to me... but why does the black paint look strange? Has it been repainted or cleaned?
    3. The KVK2 looks good for me. Can you please show the reverse of the Westwall medal?
    4. Thank you Sergio! As you can see, I love the medical aspect of the Soviet armed forces.
    5. I dont know if this is me, but I do not like the detail on the swastika and eagle on the obverse. Also, I have never seen that type of rim defect before.
    6. So this is awarded like the Bravery Medal today? I take it for a lesser event?
    7. Those uniforms are amazing. I guess there is no way to determine when the wings were added, without obtaining the set from the actual pilot... and even then. Regardless, I love those uniforms.
    8. I like it! Sweet piece. I wonder what the Admiral did to win the Medal of Courage.
    9. Very nice! Do you have any complete uniforms?
    10. I agree! You have some really interesting medal bars. Please share more here!!
    11. Very interesting. Are retired DDR officers still drawing a pension from the BW? Did the DDR and BW military members receive about the same pay? Are DDR retirees getting the same pay rates as their current BW comrades?
    12. Those are some very rare and interesting insignia. I think that one would be hard pressed to find other sets. Congratulations on tracking these down.
    13. Nice grouping!!! Are they still engraving replacement medals?
    14. Signalmen and BM combined rates at some point... when that was, I do not know.
    15. So I am sure that most senior officers(Captain and above) and enlisted NCOs were not employed for long after the transition.
    16. I was thinking, "water balloons", then I saw you were talking about gas masks.
    17. I wonder how long it took the military of the former DDR to change over to the NATO equipment and Bundeswehr uniforms. It must have been a logistical nightmare.
    18. Thanks for sharing this booklet. Do you know what his civilian profession was?
    19. Hi Jock!! I cannot wait to see that uniform. What was his specialty?
    20. Those are some smart looking uniforms. I like them both. Can you list the awards the man who owned the Khaki uniform earned? Do you have his ribbon or medal bars?
