No... I am not going to actually do it... but sometimes I get frustrated...

I have 7 attributed crosses... I do my best to research as much as I can.... but I simply know that somewhere dowm the line the cross and the man will be seperated... Either by accident, or because someone does not care.

Not gonna do it... but sometimes i wish i could....

Simple tags may work. (Images from the web)

Hello Sir,

Splendid collection you have shared. Here is a small patriotic example. I hope you like it.

Kind regards

Thanks Guys,

I'm glad you like it. IMO, wooden awards are not very common. Perhaps wood was the only material available at the time of necessity. I wish I knew where it came from. Only reported as made by a POW.

Hi Webr55,

That is a very interesting ribbon bar you have. Here is another woodie, alledged POW manufactured.

that is really, really nice!!!!

Thanks Chris, I would think it is a private purchased knife and have only seen one other. It was missing the scabbard. (The razor sharp saw-back bears my blood from 35ish years ago. Ouch!)

Very nice one Greg. The hooks are my favorite. Here is another example of the raised hallmark version like several others previously posted and seems to be the most practical of the various KMST fastening device systems. This one shows much wear to the raised hallmark features.

Hello,

Splendid images of Knives in wear and such a very nice selection everyone has posted. I would like to share a few images of the favorite mean, nasty and deadly from my collection that shows alot of use. Careful,,,,,it's very sharp!

Hi Micha,

This may not be an unusual combo but, I like the chicken-scratch "Otto Grub Lt.d.Res.Inf.Art.Regt.65". (Please pardon the poor images)

Kind regards

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the addition of this beautifully mounted pair. Earlier up the thread there is another one of these rare tailor tags. You're lucky to have this in your collection; very nice!

All the best,

John

Hi John,

I'm glad it meets your approval. I did see the Tag earlier up and it reminded me of this one. This has been a very enjoyable thread and I appreciate you taking the time to post so many wonderful Bars. The Tags make them complete and even more interesting.

Hi Chris,

You are right it is a good match. By the straight-on images, it was difficult to see just how vaulted your EK is. That is why I photographed mine from the side for the full effect. The pin on your example appears to have been shortened. Nice cross.

Here is a "Dome" from my collection. I hope you like it.

Hello Sir,

Interesting chair that brings back some memories. Back in 1968 I visited a Monestary in southern Barvaria that had been occupied by Wehrmacht Troops. To my surprise, each of the very simple wooden chairs in the dining area and hat/coat racks sported a National Emblem stamped on the back. What was more interesting, the plates that were used on a daily basis were also Wehrmacht marked.

Nice chair.

E.

Ugly and cheap...sure, one-piece copper and raise you another Ugly w/ scratched inscription "20.III.17"

Greetings,

Here are a few in my collection for your viewing.

Very interesting EK's Gentleman. Here is my example of a stamped hallmark version.

Hello JT,

You have a good eye. Very nice collection for only a few years. Thanks for sharing.

Reverse of Weidenmann.
