And the Scabbard... doc

:jumping: Thanks to chuck I now have a Army/Air Force Ceremonial Dagger for my Parade uniforms. First, The Dagger... Doc

Ed, I took your advice. The uniform now has an OPW2, ORS and a Guards Badge. Over the left pocket I found holes for three single medals. So how about a couple of campaign medals and a Combat Service Medal? I forgot to check the buttons. I need to do that before selecting the campaign medals. Everyone, Thanks for your help!!! Doc

Hanger? HANGER?!!! I must have been thinking about doing my laundry. Let's try suspension. Doc

The medal is in Dr. Battushigs book as J 15 Champion of the High Harvest. However the hanger is wrong Doc

Thanks Guys!!! I will let him know that I'm not interested and that he spent $225 on lemons. I had my doubts about these but needed you opinions. Thanks again!!! Doc

:jumping: That has to be the finest personal collection of Imperial uniforms that I have ever seen!!! It is just AMAZING!!! There are museums that would be jealous Doc

Ed, I'll pull it down tomorrow and break out my hand held microscope that plugs into the TV and do some Forensics over the left pocket. Rick, The uniform has five large buttons down the front, a high collar with hook and eye closure, red piping around the collar and on the sleeves plus the square shoulders and narrow "appointed" boards. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. Doc

That's a VERY interesting bar!!! I like the Cross of Liberty on it. However, I know so little to nothing about these bars to be of help. Doc

Hello Rick, It's a Kitel tunic (Full button front) with no collar tabs. Doc

Thanks andreas!!! I was afraid of that. The cost of these is too much to spend on fakes. Doc

Hello Rick, This uniform has the narrow "Appointed" shoulderboards and three holes over right pocket. I'm going to take a close look over the right pocket. Doc

Hello, I've been told that some suspensions have been replaced. Would this be a good buy? Payments don't start until next month if I buy them. Dealer really easy to work with. Doc

I, too, Have not seen this nor did I know that he received it. I would also like to know if it's still with the family or where is it? Doc

Thanks Guys!!! I'll put away the Nevsky and go with your combinations. Doc

It has holes for three orders. So, I've put my replica T1/V3 Nevsky and two ORS there. I was wanting to put a couple of medals on the other side to balance things out. Something simple. Doc

I have an M1940 (Square shoulders/red piping) Uniform of a Major of the Medical service. What medals do you think I should use without over doing it? Doc

Hello Dan, GREAT Academy Badges!!! I really love , of course, the Russian Medical Institute Badge. Doc

Thanks Chuck!!! I knew that the writing looked familiar. Today, I'm doing pretty good, just a couple of problems. No big deal. Doc

I know that I've seen this badge before. However, I can't remember what it's called. I would appreciate a translation of the text on the badge. THANKS Stewart!!! Doc

This is an excellent replica of the Order of Alexander Nevsky, Type 1/Variation 3. Established 29 July 1942. Awarded to division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and platoon commanders for personal and skillful command of their units in action. Small suspension. Suspension measures 20mm high and 29.5mm wide. Soldered ring on top of star-point. Hole on reverse measures 21mm. Some specimens have been observed with the ring made as part of the order instead of soldered. 3-rivets. Without stick-pin. Thanks Stewart!!! Now my M1940 Medical service Major's Tunic will now have a Type 1 Nevsky. Doc

:jumping: WOW!!! Thanks Tom!!! It seems that one could make a small collection of just these regimental medals. Doc

:jumping: That is a VERY nice medal!!! I only have one Bavarian medal in my collection. Did every regiment have a variation of this medal? Doc

Thanks all for the info!!! I was searching ribbon charts for an Order starting with MG. I knew the GC=Grand Cross but couldn't figure out the MG. The nivknames for this Order are most interesting. Again, Thanks for the lesson!!! Doc

Which Order Did he receive? GCMG- Grand Cross ... ...? Doc
