Thank you all for your warm reception into this great forum. Here is my collection of bladed weapons.

Thank you all for looking!

This NSKK dagger was given to me by a co-worker. His wife did not like it in the house!!!

Thank you for your compliments on the G43! It is a 1944 make! The ammo pouches are one of the few repro things I own. I used to take the G43 to re-enactments. I did this only once. I was so paranoid with it that I will never take it out into the field again.

Best regards

Defense of Sevastopol

Defense of Odessa

Liberation of Belgrade

Darrell. Why yes I do... I can see about taking some close up photos tomorrow!

Thank you all for your kind words. My collecting focus is now German WW2, but I cannot bring myself to get rid of these medals. The Soviets made some beautiful medals an orders.

Wow!!! Nice web site. I have...

The wounded medal with the original packet!

The Nut al-Istihqaq al-'Aali / Supreme Worthiness Medal, 1992-93

The Wissam 'Uum al-M'aarak / Mother of Battles Medal, 1990-91

The Sharah 'Uum al-M'aarak / Mother of Battles Badge

There is another medal that I cannot find on the reference site you started. Thank you again. I will take a better pic of the shadow box tomorrow.

The final medal looks just like the:

Nut al-Khidmat al-Awal / General Service Medal, 1926-58 except the ribbon is red where the green is on the one you posted.

Best regards

I do not have much in this area... but this is what I do have...

A complete NCO uniform. Everything except the boots and ammo pouch! It even has leg wraps!!!

Thanks for looking

Paul Reck

I will post some better pics of the medals in the near future. I know the large one in the middle with the packet is a wound medal...

There is also a couple of medals for the first conflict with the US in 1991. Other than that, I believe the rest to be Ba'ath party medals...

I really do not know much more about them. Maybe with better pics, you can shed some light on them?

Best regards

Hi Mike,

Can you please post the entire medal bar?

The ribbon closely resembles the US Persian Gulf campaign medal...

I have some badges that I posted in the General Awards area. I will take pics of all of the new additions as soon as I receive them all! I love luftwaffe tabs for some reason!

Thank you for your warm comments!

Best regards

Finally, my Blue Division grouping...

Here is an older photo of my badges.

Please note that the

HSF

Luft Observer

CCC in bronze

PAB in Bronze(the one on the left)

were removed due to them being repros/fakes

Thank youfor your kind words... I have posted a lot of items today in their various forums on this site. BTW, how do I get notification when someone responds to my threads?

Other forums send you an email when there are replies to threads.

Here is my byf 42 Luger

Here is the can for the detachable site(on the mortar).

Next up is my cyq P38 pistol.

Next up is my German 8cm Mortar.

It is all original except for the barrel.

Behind the mortar is my K98 with complete rifle grenade launcher.

Hi,

As I am new to this forum, I want to take a few moments to share my firearms with you all.

I will start off with my Allied Rifles. All of these are Soviet Except for the bottom(MAS 36) which is French.

Best regards

Paul Reck

And CLOSEUPS of the ENAMEL?

Great collection, Paul. I wish, i would be that far?

Thank you Rick and Gerd for your compliments.

I will have to get better pics and send place the SSNs here. I will try to do so this weekend.

A lot of these awards are part of documented groupings. My favorite is the 20 year Anniversary of the Revolution medal. That one comes complete with the wears award book...which has the photo as well!

I will have to get down to Lowell some time! I miss seeing you and the other Rick!

Rick, I am still perplexed in regard to the ribbon bar!

Best regards

Good Morning.

I returned from Operation Iraqi Freedom last summer. I served two tours with the US Coast Guard. I want to take a couple of minutes to share with you, some of the things I brought back.

Thank you all for looking!

Warm regards

Paul Reck

I brought back a rather large flag that our group captured from a seized freighter as well as several medals.

A couple of cased flower medals.

Thank you all for looking and allowing me to share.

Warm regards
