Should I flog this bar?
Gary B replied to don's topic in Germany: Third Reich: State, Civil, NSDAP Awards & Decorations
Hi Don, I saw when this went up for sale. You got a nice original single Ost front for a great price. I have only seen 3 single mounted Ost front medals in my collecting time. I am not sure whay but not many of these were produced and the ones that survived are all in poor condition. I guess if you were on the Russian front you were not going to be attending any parties!

Danzig Medal Bar
Gary B replied to Gary B's topic in Germany: Third Reich: State, Civil, NSDAP Awards & Decorations
Dear Warlord, Beautiful and rare bar. Thanks for posting it. Rick, Thanks for your comments on the bar. I was hoping you would chime in on this piece. Although I have only been collecting bars for a short period of time I had the same concerns that you pointed out, so I have learned a few good things since joining the forum! You were one of the big reasons I came to this post and both you and Rick have helped me out several times already! Thanks! Gary B -

Hi Rick, So I take it that you do not like it? Is it the order of precedence or do you see something else? Thanks. Gary B -
Danzig Medal Bar
Gary B replied to Gary B's topic in Germany: Third Reich: State, Civil, NSDAP Awards & Decorations
Hi Don, I could not post a link for some reason. It is listed in Winklers medal bar section. As has been noted the precedence is reversed but the medals are not slanted for wear as in a frack mount. The Danzig Cross is marked for manufacture but since they are so rare I really do not know that much about them. Gary B -

New Medal Bar
Gary B replied to Gary B's topic in Germany: Third Reich: State, Civil, NSDAP Awards & Decorations
Hi Rick, The bar does not glow anywehre under a blacklight. The ribbons have the slightest bit of soiling as one would expect on a bar in this condition. Additionally, there is the slightest bit of rub wear to the highlights of the blue ribbon. Attached is a picture of the reverse. Let me know what you think. Gary B -
Luftwaffe Eng Tabs in Cello
Gary B replied to Gary B's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
Dear Luftguy, I hope Mike does not mind my answering for him.... Mike sold off his collection of tabs and other Luftwaffe stuff this year. I was fortunate enough to buy some items from him. For those of you who never had the opportunity to see his collection, it was without a doubt one of the finest Luftwaffe collections around. Not only in quantity, diversification of items but also quality. Mike had a rare abilty to find the best pieces for his collection. His items had what coin collectors call "ey appeal". Gary B
