      I believe this strawbery piping to be medical general service; instead the caducea with red piping would be medical service within the infantry (or tanks in the case of black piping) division.

      you're the winner! an old tip from Italian numastics, given by a fellow member of the GMIC, Lapa. Olive oil is slightly acid, and doesn't cause any degradation. I left the badge 2 months in an oil bath. Then I took him, deceaved to see no changes. But when I wipped it I was surprised to see the green oxydation was now a "mud" which went away with a smooth toothbrush.

      let's see towards the Mediterran?a... a very old kitchen ingredient, softer than coca (phosphoric acid) and vinegar. ;)

      coca-cola is good for ferrous oxydation...but here it is made from brass. We call that "vert de gris" here in France. No, it is another product. but you spotted the working area: the kitchen.

      AFTER: an hint: absolutely no chemical product.

      the medal for participation to the war, common.
    11. seb16trs
      the star... Czech had an independant serie of partisan units awards, ranging from the star to the tiny badge, including medals, pins in all sorts of metals and enameling.
    12. seb16trs
      detail: this is a mere aluminium and lacked enamel creature...

      gotcha! (bis repetita) coming from the Tchernigov ( NE of Ukraine) officers aviation shcool.

      the set medaillon-crown is fastened by a classic screwplate.
    15. seb16trs
      this curious piece... 53rd infantry division, "upgraded" by the veteran. The suspension disapeared, and the medaillon has been placed in a custom aluminium "crown".

      still fighting...

      a bargain price; the average entry price is about 1000 euros.

      ok! I remember this stand! A LOT of fake stuff too. I remember a nice partisan of the komsomol honour diploma, or a genuine partisan 1948 booklet... otherwise too many questionnable items... Glad to see you picked up one of the rare interesting items!

      hello, are you speaking about the young seller, on the right in the corridor between the main hall and the small small, which derserves a restaurant? This seller has 98% fakes...
    20. seb16trs
      yes I have got two of these, both with the small "ausweis" card. I'll try to make a decent scan of them.
    21. seb16trs
      KImj, your document with a printed name has been given on another year than the classical one 1958?
    22. seb16trs
      last row, far right.
    23. seb16trs
      I found this picture here in the forum; but do you remember the gentlemen who owns this collection please? there's an interesting badge...
    24. seb16trs

      What is that?

      seb16trs replied to Sparks's topic in China

      what makes it a fake? the patina on the reverse looks convincing...
