Hello guys, Here are two examples of JFS Krim Shields from my collection. Best regards, Tom

Thanks, Dirk. It took me over 33 years to find this example. And I have only held one other. Best regards, Tom

.... and an early S&L KVK1:

Here is an early KVK1X by Deschler:

Hello Matt, Early Deumers are very nice, indeed. I also like the early Deschlers, or any early-quality KVK1, for that matter. Thank you & best regards, Tom

Thanks, Matt. Finding a set like this is few and far between. I was lucky to find a complete set in this condition. Best regards, Tom

Hi Matt, Thanks for your comments. Not really on a spending spree, though. I had a table at a small military show over the past weekend. I sold eighteen items and only bought ten. Selling stuff makes the hobby pay for itself and allows me to keep buying more crap. Best regards, Tom

Here is the Deumer 'L/11' maker marking. In my opinion, the L/11 within a rectangle marking is found less often on these than the L/11 without a rectangle. Best regards, Tom

Hello to all, Here is an early KVK1X by Wilhelm Deumer that I bought this past weekend. Although most of the frosting is no longer present, I think it still looks pretty nice. This example weighs 20.1 grams. Best regards, Tom

Hello guys, Here are two W&L Silver Wound Badges that I have owned since the late 70s. They are both in excellent condition for zinc badges. The badge on the left weighs 22.8 grams while the one on the right weighs 22.5 grams. The one on the right did not have a packet until this past weekend, when I was lucky enough to find a W&L packet with a mis-matched Carl Wild Wound Badge. Now, both of my W&L Silver Wound Badges are paired with a proper packet. Hope you like them! Best regards, Tom

.... and the mysterious W.B.

Here is an 18-Year Long Service Cross with its matching packet by that mysterious maker, W.B. Does anyone know what maker this is supposed to be? Both the cross and the eagle device are made of iron (magnetic) on this example. Best regards, Tom
