I have a Croix Du Combattant that looks like it has been lacquered. It hasn't been gilded, and is bronze colored, just shiny. I was curious if they were ever issued shiny, or if a collector did this?

Thank you

I have a BWM to 27058 Pte Frederick Shand of the Ox & Bucks L.I. Can anyone tell me what battalion he served in? Thank you, Paul

I wonder with the star and thistle motif, if this belt belongs to the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles). Their cap badge had a star that looked like this inside a thistle wreath under a crown.

Thank you Sergio. I had my doubts when I had it in hand.

I just received this long service medal. Any input/opinions would be welcome. Thank you, Paul

Thank you, Pierce. That's a great ribbon bar.

Thank you.

Very nice!

This bar just arrived into my collection. I've grown rather fond of these medal bars.

The badge has a King's crown, so I'd agree that it doesn't belong on the shako.

I just acquired this bar, and wanted to show it on the GMIC. I really like it.

This is my Union Jack. I recently acquired it and am looking for any information regarding age, etc. It is of multi-piece construction, and marked UNION JACK 6FT. It has no broad arrow marks. It came with a story about WWII, but I know better than to buy the story along with the piece. Thanks in advance for any help. Paul

I really like these medals, I have a few in my collection. That's a really nice one.

Thank you Graham.

Thank you.

I don't have many Imperial medals, but I just acquired this Red Cross bar. Any input or opinions are welcome.

Back in November, I purchased an i.d. tag along with 2 cap badges to 6457 Pte W. Rogers The King's Liverpool Regiment. The badges are a 1915 version, and WWII version. I have no idea if they belong with the tag. Last week I found his British War Medal and Victory Medal on the auction site and placed a high bid. Today they have been reunited. I am on the lookout now for his 1914 Star (I'd love to complete the trio). William Rogers was in the 1st Bn. KLR. He arrived in France on September 12, 1914 and was discharged on May 26, 1916.

Thank you. That is excellent information. I think I need to add this book to my collection.

Thank you

Very nice!

Thank you very much.

Photographs were taken indoors, so there was a flash.

I just acquired this Lancashire Fusiliers officers tunic. It has Queen Victoria's crown on the buttons. I'm curious what model tunic this is? Thank you, Paul

Can anyone help me? I'm not as knowledgeable with Russian medals as British.
