      Looks like you have a winner. Be careful though because they are contagious and one will not be enough.
    3. I found Demir's book on TWM's excellent. From a historical prospective he dealt with good explanations that got to the point. This enabled me to get the background on the things that needed to be covered without long boring explanations. In addition he covered photos of documents, cases and various packets. Excellent photos of TWM's of Turkey and German origin and their manufacturing differences to include the hinges, pins and clasps. There were several examples to compare and lust after. This type of reference was long overdue and Demir has now filled that void. Demir was able to create one book that is bilingual from English to Turkish. Thank you Demir for providing a long overdue reference on one of our favorite awards. Thank you Demir for your fine reference.
    4. Super collection and super display. Thank for sharing.
    5. IMO I also believe it is a fantasy piece; however I have not seen this one before.
    6. Gent's, For those of you who know me I love to collect eclectic militaria. I like Patriotic Jewelry and items that were made and given to someone special. I do hope you enjoy this piece that is ~ 4.0 cm X 5.5 cm that can be worn as a pendent or broach. The reverse is marled 800 with a 1/4 moon and full crown and G.HERMELING and GES.GESCH. Roughly translated EIN MANN MIT GOTT IST IMMER IN DER MAJORITAET 1914 - 1945 ------ A man with god is always in the majority 1914 - 1915.
    7. Hardy -- Joe, Thank you for giving my esteem a much needed boost. No matter how hard one tries occasionally something like this comes up. I have to find out more about this piece and really hope it is not in the ever elusive book of "Known Fakes."
    8. Hi Gents, Is there any literature available on this pin problem ? If so who or where can someone provide a link or even better a book with photos ? Also thank you all for your help one this item, it is closed but I cannot find out how to remove that bugger .
    9. Hi Guys, The last thing I would do is knowingly sell a reproduction, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Can anyone provide me with information that discusses the problem with the cross ? Or at least point me in the right direction ? In the interim I will pull this item. I am in the process of listing a large inventory. All with a money back warranty for 7 - 10 days while it is shown around. So please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you see anything that is questionable or if you have questions regarding anything I list. Thank You Rocky P. S. Consider this item as no longer offered until it is discussed. I would have pulled it by now but could not figure out how that is accomplished. Rocky

        I believe he is referring to Military show in Louisville, KY -right? 2/24-27.

        Correct, and it is by far the biggest event of the year for militaria collectors.
