Nick, I have watched this topic from the outside. I agree to follow the rules anywhere on this forum. Doc

Jacques, What are the last two medals on this bar? I've tried to remember, but... Doc

Nick & Franscois, Those are BEAUTIFUL Bars !!! Congrats!! I really like the Military Merit Medal. Doc

Rick, I am sorry to hear that your work was stolen. I have written 3 articles and would be furious if they were stolen. I'll not bother you or make further attempts to see it. It's a shame as I would have learned a lot from you. Doc

Rick, I have not seen nor read your article. I am VERY interested in it to further my Imperial Education. Where can I find a copy of it? Doc

Gerd, thank You for furthering my Imperial education. To me it just didn't look "right" as a ribbon bar. Now I know!!! It is a BEAUTIFUL bar Doc

WOW!!! Some how WOW does quite say it right. That's a real Beauty!!! Doc

I'm not well educated in the Imperial arena. However, That "ribbon Bar" is made in the fashion of a medal bar. I think this one is missing the medals. Please correct me, with facts, if I'm wrong. Doc

Please forgive my ignorance but, which Luftwaffe badge is this Erdkampfabzeichen ? Doc

Christian, The ONLY way this is going to be resolved is to get the research. Nothing short of the research documents will tell the story. You and Slava can go at each other untill the end of time. That's not going to solve this. PLEASE, GET IT RESEARCHED!!![/b] Doc

Christophe, Thanks for these Great scans of the magazine!!! PLEASE Keep them coming, my friend !!! I'll make a copy. Doc

Soviet, Thank You for the info about the helmet and the side cap!! Best, Doc

Christian, Dave has a VERY GOOD Point!! I would have this one well researched, if for no other reason than your own peace of mind. I feel that it's a clerical error, but that's just my opinion not proof. Doc

BEAUTIFUL!!! AWESOME!!! WOW!!! I already have too many addictions!!! Can I afford another... Doc

Belaruski, Welcome Buddy!!! This is a GREAT Place (just like MCF)!!! Doc

A clerical error...possible. One would think that something as important as awarding the 1st class for a full Cavalier of the OoG would be more carefully recorded. Let me re-read this entire thread and my other resources before I give my final opinion. Doc

Greg, That's a BEAUTY !!! Guys I'm HOOKED on these tri-fold EK2s!!! I have to find one Doc

Stogieman, I'll take some off your hands... Doc

Guys, I have one Prussian EK2 on standard ribbon and it's a really poor piece. How available are these tri-fold EK2s? Doc

Greg, You do have the Order of Bravery, 3rd Class. The 2nd Class is larger and has a Bronze Star on the ribbon. The 1st Class is even larger than the 2nd Class and has a gold leaf on the ribbon. Doc

That's a VERY NICE collection of Guard's Badges!!! Doc

Gordon, Thank You SOOOOOOOOO much!!! I needed to know. I am having a brass nameplte made for it. Again, Thanks!!! Doc

I have to agree 100% Dutch Boy!!! Without the documents it is not yet possible to research the recipient. I, too, am disgusted with robberies such as this poor gentleman!!! As I know the sources of the Mongolian ODMs in my collection I know that they were obtained legally by sale. Welcome to the forum!!! Just remember that we are all Gentlemen here and do not cast such a wide net of "you are Guilty" over the general membership of this forum. Doc

Some how BEAUTIFUL just doesn't cover this medal. It's soooo much more... Doc

Don, That's a real BEAUTY!!! I'll have to get myself a late Christmas present...reserved. Doc
