Riley1965

From the front it looks like a must buy. But, It's what may be missing from the reverse of the medals that would keep me away from it unless I had pics of the reverse. Doc

Johnsy, I've been waiting to say"WOW!!! WELL DONE!!! Fantastic photos and history!!! Many Thanks for sharing this museum and medals Doc

Tony, Great looking hat!! It's So GOOD to see You here!!! Richie, you too!!! Our "Family" is back together Doc

Gerd, I like this group!! I look forward to the research!!! Doc

Paul. My guess would be Yes they did complete a basic marksman course. A medic must be able to defend himself and his patient. As for the lanyard I don't know. Doc

Paul, Thanks for the list and the link. Interesting website!!! Doc

I would have 1 or 2 in my collection for the "oddity" factor. But, That would be all. I'm not sure about which way the value would go. If I were to guess I would say it would lessen the value. Doc

Guys, Thank You!!! It all makes sense now. I should have caught "Orden" & "Kreuz". Doc

Dan, Great picture of Patton!!! I, too, am surprised because of his feelings about the soviets. But, then he did love his Orders and medals!!! Doc

Dave, That's a GREAT looking uniform!!! Doc

There's one thing I've never understood about the : Bavaria: Milit?rverdienstorden 4. Klasse mit Schwertern and the Bavaria: Milit?rverdienstkreuz 3. Klasse mit Schwertern Why would the lower 4th class have enamel and the 3rd class not? I would think that the higher classes would have the enamel. Doc

Yes!!! RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH!!! You won't be disappointed!! Doc

So, Is this a case of 'your a big-wig soooo here's another medal'? Doc

Mabuse, That's an excellent start to what could be a GREAT collection!! I would think that adding more to it would make you feel better...it would for me!! Doc

I look forward to buying your hard work!!! Doc

Brian, First, WELCOME to GMIC!!! thanks for posting these medals!!! Doc

Thanks Paul!!! Both if possible. I'm working on a 1:35 scale diaroma and I want to get it right. Doc

Sorry guys!!! I didn't look at which section this is. I've re-posted in the TR section. Doc

Would someone please post a pic of the shoulderboards for enlisted/NCO of the Herman Goerring Division at Anzio? Thanks in advance!!! Doc

Would someone post a pic of shoulderboards for the Herman Goerring Division at Anzio? Doc
