joe campbell

nicely done.

are you the renovator?

joe

eric-

it is mine no longer.

joe

really shouldn't be much of a surprise...

today being 14 july - Bastille day - i asked 15

consecutive patients what it celebrated.

one of them was close with "Canadian Independence day"....

joe

i read in our local paper this morning that john demjanjuk,

while cleared of activity at treblinka, has been charged

with involvement in the deaths of 29,700 inmates at sobibor.

it has been about 2 months since his deportation, and german authorities,

based on new photographic documents of him were quick to charge him.

i'd be interested to hear if anyone knows anything more.

thanks. joe

thank you, uwe.

i learn something new everyday!

nice examples, as well.

joe

from a structural standpoint, wouldn't pure silver be rather

impractical and soft?

joe

baubearbeiter?

fire marshall?

thx.

joe

seems like an extremely plausible explanation...

i'm surprised he survived 5.5 years...

re: the imperial WB's

yes they did, eric, and even smaller ones,

not to mention a multitude of sizes in stickpins.

can't really comment on the '39ers, but this setup is

very reminiscent of the imperial and interwar production.

yours is a nice one!

joe

i love this cross!

while i like thin, delicate frames, this wide frame

along with the character of the core makes this a

winner.

welcome on my wall anytime!

joe

colin-

a real treat to have you review the photographs.

i suspected these were the infamous meathooks,

but - as always - appreciate your wisdom!!!!

you REALLY should publish...

thaks!

joe

colin-

thank you for the pictures.

would you expand on the circumstances

concerning the Ploetzensee memorial site

(last several pictures).

thanks!

joe

i bet it was more than two cents....

very nice pickup!!

joe

ulster nailed it: always a most interesting read!

these men deserve the recognition you facilitate.

are you on the mend? hope so!

joe

Thanks a lot for your comments Joe,Jim,Kev & Bill. I will treat it as 100% repro and store it carefully in the rubbish bin.

Regards, Shaneos3

i actually have a few pieces that i bought when i had relatively

more money than brains which are mounted - and labelled repro -

to remind me that sometimes it is a pretty close call.

take the lesson and learn from it!

joe

Joe, I haven't heard the term "slag" used in years...

i'm just a coalminers daughter...

joe

i agree with jim.

this "version" has the remnant slag

in each of the corners on the inside

of the frame, and the frame itself

has nothing of the delicate appearance

that makes the schinkels so beautiful.

joe

a most impressive collection!

my favorite is also herr fey, as i've

seen that picture so often and now know who it is.

thanks!

joe

thanks for the picture naxos!

i have one very similar to ksg's,

and have never seen anything as close to

"provenance" as it with an EK doc to a woman.....

joe

i've been waiting to see this EK/ribbon setup for YEARS!!!

is someone willing to declare this the accepted or usual configuration

for awarding to a female??

expectantly yours,

joe

Rex doesn't sell original anything.

ALL of his wares are reproduction,

and i've not known him to attempt to

beguile or mislead.

i think he will listen to your concerns,

but i'm not concerned with where his

heart is.

joe

no apology necessary re: your translation.

very readable and your effort appreciated!

joe

i think at least one explanation rests in

using parts from manufacturer A and manufacturer B....

use what you have rather than make a whole new run of cores, frames,

and even suspension rings....

joe

it's cheaper....

she MUST have been broke to alter an EK 1.
