That collection of yours is certainly coming along in leaps and bounds, Don.

Yer right, Rick...

I bet the owner of this bar became a little upset when he could no longer wear it after the order (dated 29th March 1944) prohibited the further wearing of the Italian-German campaign medal.

Reverse..

Standard parade mount EK..

Reverse..

Single 'Schinkel' parade mount.

Indeed, a very strange bar. Thinking it was a standard dual purpose bar, big surprise on seeing the reverse.

You're quite right, Bob...We should mention the good folks of Guernsey....Done.

Talking of things floral.. Here's a 'bouquet' for all our chums across the pond.

Made entirely from flower heads, this was part of a float that won a prize in the annual 'Battle of Flowers' parade.

A very nice badge, Eric.. Congrats.

The pin? Well, a superb job of replacement and certainly not a field repair.

When you consider that the entire reverse assembly relies on one dab of solder (pin to hinge barrel) it's not surprising that we encounter so many repairs.

Hi Rich, I think Francois Saez has a couple of wartime pieces, cased.. Send him a PM.

Juncker (black wreathed) Para.

Juncker 1st pat (silver plated) PB.

Assmann 2nd pat PB.

Juncker 2nd pat PB.

The kid is out swiming, so here are a few more..

Suuuuperb, Rich.

Assmann 2nd pattern Radio operator/Air gunner, aluminium version.

Deumer Pilots badge.

Bomber clasp in silver..

Just a few to be getting on with...

I'll have to get the camera out and do some of the flight badges, work and school holidays permitting.

Very nice, Reini.. I feel another compulsive-obsessive is about to join the Luftwaffe fraternity..
