    1. Next time try Dupont Autobody Paint Remover instead of sandpaper. Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone.
    2. I know that there are people out there who specialize in U.S. National Guard awards. Does anyone own, or has anyone ever seen, a Distinguished Service Medal awarded by the South Dakota National Guard?
    3. VERY nice indeed, Pierce. Is this where the money went from the items you sold to me? :cheers:
    4. Has anyone in the States ever done any business with a German business called CDS Ehrenreich.de? They sell spare parts for German weapons.
    5. Here is my contribution to the topic. This is a copy of a map that one of my uncles brought back from Omaha Beach. As you can see, it is a map of the area around WN-62.
    6. Thank you for your imput, gentlemen. I'll take it to heart, and research it in depth.
    7. I showed this off on WWF, and I thought I might as well post photos of it here. This is the last piece in my collection that will ever have a price tag on it.
    8. Only that, considering the number of these that will actually be awarded, they could have made them out of .900 gold, and it wouldn't have broke the bank. And never mind making one that actually looked good in the process.
    9. What he said. I got a merit award from the South Dakota National Guard that looked better. But on the other hand, even a tawdry, cheap, embarassingly bad looking decoration acknowledging valor is better than nothing.
    10. This came in the mail yesterday. I've been looking for one of these for awhile.
    11. I seem to recall these being mentioned several years ago on Axis History Forum or WAF. As I recall the general consensus was that they were Dreck.
    12. I wouldn't argue with you, Mike. My Bride says I'm colorblind, and she may well be right. And no, the hinge is intact. :cheers:
    13. Here are some shots of my newest EK I. Thanks to Chris for the help.
    14. I've got one just like this one, except that on mine the silver hallmark is at the bottom of the cross instead of the right arm. I'm guessing that this is one that made it past Quality Control. By the way: Does anyone know who made these?
    15. Chris, how do you prevent it from rusting under the frame? Blow dry it after your treatment?
    16. Interesting is right, but I'm wondering why a lady would go for a full-sized cross, when a prinzen-gross would have been more "feminine".
    17. Chris, I"ve got an 1870 medal bar, & the EK is stablized by some thread that's passed through two small holes that were drilled through the frame. I'm thinking that the hole on this EK1 was probably for the same reason.
    18. Eric, do you know who made these? I have one very similar to the one with the narrow pin. Could I get a weight and size, so I can compare them?
    19. Sorry, Chris. I don't have the capability to download the photos better. I am stuck using the computer at the public library, and it's older than dirt.
