A lesson I learned the hard way recently Doc

This would be a very good thing if done right. I'll support it all I can. Doc

Chris, I submitted my WWI German Black Wound Badge. Doc

Paul, I'd have to say YES, he's a fellow IDMT!! Doc

Paul, This medic loves it!!! Doc

Heiko, First I am sorry about your loss. I have posted your list at the OMSA Stolen Medal registry. Let's Hope you can recover them. Doc

Johanne, Welcome to the GMIC forum. The some of the most knowledgeable people are here. I look forward to your posts!!! Doc

Gerd, I'll place an order for 5 to begin with. Doc

Jim, It was definately a learning experience for me. I think I'll keep my thoughts and comments to myself in matters like this. Doc

It's an ORBL. I thought that the zero at the front of the s/n was added. I hadn't seen this serial number range starting with zero and feared it was an altered s/n. I was SOOOOOOOOO wrong. I had contacted the seller about it. fortunately so did Marc. All is okay with the seller but I'm still kicking myself over it. Doc

Man was I wrong on this one!!! I had a problem with the zero as the first digit. Marc explained it to me. How embarassing!!! Doc

Gerd, I would offer a felt backing to avoid scratching the Plexi-glass. Doc

Gerd, I would by several with the present design. All of my display boxes are close to the same color of wood for the frame. AN EXCELLENT IDEA!!! Doc

We all know that each forum has its own rules and guidelines. They are sponsered/hosted by individual personalities. That being said, I have to agree that this is NO place for forum/Host bashing!!! I have to remind myself of that on a regular basis. To quote an infamous person, "Please!! Can't we all just get along"? Doc

John, You have some VERY NICE Long Service bars!!! Doc

Rick, I have to say that it's among the weirdest things i've seen Doc

Christian, I can't even get Tal Inbar to return a PM and I'm asking to BUY a 2"-3" length of OoV ribbon from him as he says he has I believe several feet of it. I must be beneath him on the food chain. Doc

Here is the sellers last response to me: "Doc, You speak the same language that I do. If you would do me the favor of posting on whatever forum that I responded to you immediately, contacted the high bidder and would have corrected the posting if information had been brought to my attention .... I always welcome comments, but they are most useful early in the process when items can still be pulled. Thank you and God bless you, Nicholas" Not all Ebayers are bad. Doc

I contacted the seller and he says that he can't pull an item 12 hours before end of auction. He also states that the top bidder has requested closer pics of the s/n and increased his bid. right now, the bid is at $ 162.50. I'm glad it's not my money. Doc

Paul, The Polish medal is the "Warsaw Medal 1939-1945" from the People's Republic of Poland. Doc

All of these MGs are fantastic I'm still working on buying a M1 Garand Doc

As a wise man said, "Buy the book then the medal" Doc

Paul the foreign medal is from Poland. I'll have to fill in the blank later. Doc

WOW!!! I absolutely LOVE that set. This ex-medic (never really an ex-medic) is drooling!!!! Doc

Rick, I'm on life -support... Doc
