Hallo benten, Walts = "Walter Mitty" a character in a US movie starring Danny Kaye as a guy who day dreams about being a success in many different roles, Doctor, Detective, Soldier etc..etc... Today its used to describe guys who buy military clothing and items to use to convince people they really were in the military. Like guys wearing S.A.S, Para, or French Foreign Legion T-Shirts etc.. etc.. Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Rick, this picture is from my trip to the Romanian Military Museum in March. Patriotic Guard Uniform, Grade unknown to me. I will add a close up of the badges in my collection later. Kevin in Deva.

Must be one of the youngest to get the EK2! Postcard I was outbid on on E-bay last year Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Bob, perhaps there are a few more, who do exactly what you do: In general I find that requests for information are answered fairly quickly, but as many members have full time jobs, and families, as well other areas of military interest, then an odd thread gets missed out, after all we are only human. Thanks for supplying the relevant information with regards the item. Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Gents, when visiting the in-laws over Easter, I asked if by any chance they had any pictures from the "Old Days" and the following were produced. Kevin in Deva.

Would it not be safer to get an opinion or two before you buy an item?? In case you are buying "Lemons" for the price of Water Melons Kevin in Deva

His Bavarian M.V.O. Cross is on backwards as well!! And he seems very proud of his old German Legion of Honor with Combatant Insignia as well. If the Treudienst is an original he would be taking a chance to be seen publicly wearing it even on backwards possibly having to risk a de-nazification course, unless he only wore it for this studio portrait I don't have any reference pictures of the 1957 types of this award. Kevin in Deva.

Well to my untrained eye, it still looks like the bar has been messed with, no doubt the items are real, but whats the point of buying a fantasy bar? As I said before in my posts I dont like the way the seller arranged the pictures, without showing a clear shot of the ribbon bar rear. Kevin in Deva.

Seems somebody liked it enough to bid: EUR 1.422,99 for it http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...A:IT&ih=025 I don't like the way the seller did not show a full back view of the item, his pictures were carefully arranged so as NOT to show the rear fully in view. Somebody has took and expensive Lemon in my opinion, considering, he has only 69 deals on Ebay. ludwigderbayer1 (69*) Kevin in Deva

I cropped and highlighted your picture a little for clarity. Hope you don't mind. Kevin in Deva
