Hi all. I got this one from Rick (Stogieman) back in 2006. It's now in the collection of Kapusta Norm over at SAF but as he's said it "may" come back to my collection some day. I'm posting this with his kind permission... the research and pics are his with the exception of the two of the award itself which, if memory serves were from Rick (Stogieman) from when I got it from him... was actually a shot of this one and a T1 MMM but I cut it down just to show the T1 BM. Many thanks to both Kapusta Norm and to Stogieman. And awaaaaaay we go! First the award itself:

Hi Michael. I believe this one is impressed... I'll do up some scans of the edge if I can work it out and will post them. I'll have to check with my doctor who is a member here and is also a Lt. Col. in the National Guard. I'll see if perhaps they ever have to run tests on the X-ray equipment where perhaps he might be able to get them to try doing a shot of the edge to see what we can come up with. Otherwise it might be a bit pricey... but if they have to run a test anyhow then perhaps it won't cost anything, they'll get the info they need and I'll hopefully be able to discover the name and info on this one. Many thanks! Dan

I have an Indian Mutiny medal which has most of the name missing from the edge. It appears to have been buffed out. I know that things like firearms whose serial numbers have been removed can often have them brought back through use of acid. Is something like this possible to recover such lost information? I can only clearly make out Chas (the s has an underline). I can see faint remainders of other letters/numbers but not well enough to make them out... just to know that they were there. Hoping perhaps one of you might have experience with something like this. I wouldn't want to do anything to harm the medal but just bring up the inscription. Dan

Two place stickpin
Hauptmann replied to Hauptmann's topic in Germany: Third Reich: State, Civil, NSDAP Awards & Decorations
Hi Brian. No problem... love to share. I glad I could work out getting it. I don't have but a very few stickpins and with my love of WB's plus the fact that other than WB's one of the few original TR medals I still have is the "frozen meat medal" as well as the West Wall... and I also have the FMM in it's 57 version.
