Thank you again for this detailed information. This card came with this medal bar and notes the US Army soldier's name who captured it and the location in Germany. I know this really means very little as it cannot be proven but it is the pieces provenance according to the person I purchased it from and whom I trust.

Hello,

Thank you for your most valuable translation. I have attached the front & back photos of the Lake Khasan document as requested. I look forward to receiving your revised opinion of this most important document & medal grouping.

Your friend,

Vince

Thank you for your assistance. It has been many years since I have collected and there is still a life time of learning ahead. Thanks to all who have helped me along the way. This is an awesome group of individuals and I am proud to call you my friends.

Thanks again & Happy Hunting,

Vince

Greetings,

I would appreciate any feedback on my this medal bar. My main question is concerning the Bavarian Military Merit Cross, second class with swords. With it being on a non-combatant ribbon is this a legit grouping of medals? I understand that ribbon was for Non-Combatants and Military Officials. Can you have a decoration with swords hang on a non-combatant ribbon? Just want to get some expert feedback on this bar as this Bavarian ribbon is new to me.

Thank you,

Vince

Yes, Please!

Thank you Paul,

For some reason I have always liked this decoration and it is interesting to see how its design progressed.

Perhaps this will help, I forgot to scan it. It came with this grouping.

Yes, 

I purchased it sight unseen. Won't be doing that again! Seller agreed to refund so no harm done!

Thanks to all

What is it worth? Thank you!

I saw this medal bar and noted that it has medal/s from Bavaria, Prussia, Austria, and Bulgaria on it. Can this be a legit bar? I seem to remember that some Bavarian Regiments fought with such units, perhaps a Bavarian Officer? Just not sure if one man could have medals from so many different countries.

Thanks for the lesson!

Hello Sir,

Thank you for your information on the Queen Marie medal. I have been out of medal bar collecting for several years and could use your help determining a fair price for this medal bar and chain group. If you have a minute please give me your opinion on its value today.

Many thanks,

Vince

Hello All,
I have the opportunity to purchase this handsome medal bar and 57er chain and want to ask for some assistance in evaluating its value. The far right medal is a Romanian medal and dated 1917 on its reverse. Any help is always appreciated.
Thanks,
Vince

Yes,

This is a parade uniform but there is some discussion about the collar tabs and cuff bars being metal on this tunic versus wire embroidered so its date of use is not positively known to me. Perhaps someone here can help us answer this question.

Thanks again,

Vince

Thank you,

Yes, you are correct. Nothing in General rank is common, especially early war items like this tunic!

Happy Hunting,

Vince

Hello,

I am sure you will not see this uniform or its insignia on any film made during the period as these were the "Real Bad Guys"!!!

My best,

Vince

Lt. Col. of the NKVD

Not much to say about this fellow. The photos tell its story! Beautiful insignia all around!

Got to have at least one of these guys to keep the collection well rounded! I found an issue stamp in the inside pocket!

Enjoy,

Vince

A nice early war/Pre-war Officer's set

M-35 Major of Armored Corps with Cap

How about a nice Summer White Tunic for a 3 Star Army General of the Armored Corps. The Collar Tabs are removable for cleaning as are all of the General's buttons. Specially reinforced holes for 2 decorations as well! White tunics are just not found as they did not stand the test of time! This one is nicely worn and shows its age but is still in great shape!

Enjoy,

Vince

Another one of a kind uniform for your viewing pleasure. This is a circa 1936 - 1940, 2 Star General uniform for the Commander of the Russian Army's General Staff College.

Enjoy,

Vince

I have never seen another one, This is a complete uniform for a Lt. of the Boarder Guard's Flight Unit/Air Force, Circa 1937. Includes both caps!

Enjoy,

Vince
