Sorry for the crumpled state it was in a bag in my brothers attic in Ireland for the last 7 years. Kevin in Deva. :beer:

Size at leading edge:- 23.5cm Length to tip:- 41 cm. Multi-piece construction of Swastika & Jungvolk insignia. Kevin in Deva. :beer:

More to the point why buy what could be a damaged or repaired example when with a little patient a good example will surly turn up, as noted above the Galipoli Star even by BB&C are not rare. Kevin in Deva. :beer:

Page 55. You have to be kidding me And no mention about the ribbon being from Belgium, or the fact that the dates were on the front where the light rust now resides and never on the rear Kevin in Deva :beer:

Hallo Josef, while I am familiar with the "BB&C" stamping on the pin plate, have you any thoughts with regards the cracked rear of the item, looking at the damage I am (a) surprised it ever made it passed quality control, and (b) even more surprised it has no damage to the front enamel, if damaged in wear. Kevin in Deva. :beer:

Can you please post a picture with the pin open? Appears to be a painted brass back. Kevin in Deva.

Nice items, thanks for taking the time to share them. My wife is a Romanian Nurse and in 2008 I took her to visit the small Florence Nightingale Museum in London, which she found very interesting. Kevin in Deva. :beer:

Can you please tell those of us who are not familiar what the IKOM and ZIN stand for? Kevin in Deva. :beer:

Hitlers Regiment.

This Romanian bar in Noor's picture in my opinion is a late war piece and probably was influenced by the German style of bars which would have been seen by Romanians alongside German units. For those interested Noors Romanian bar shows ribbons for:- a, Serviciul Credincios Medal / (Credible Service.) b, King Carol I Centenary Medal. c, Crusade Against Communism 1941.

Oppps, sorry Greg, must cut back on the pain-killers didnt even realize I typed Jeff instead of Greg Kevin in Deva. :beer:

Hi Jeff Greg, nice looking item. whats the text read as its hard to make out in the shadow. The screw on the rears appears to have been very roughly finished / cut down as you can see the saw teeth serrations and where it was broken off. Kevin in Deva. :beer:

Its very interesting to see a Romanian Royal Order on there. Kevin in Deva. :jumping:

I agree with Don about the lengths of ribbon, looks real sloppy and not quite what you would expect to see if put together by a military tailor for example. Kevin in Deva. :cheers:

Would anybody have a larger size pic/scan with better definition of this, and if so could they please post it here? Kevin in Deva. :beer:

Shades of Papillon meets Midnight Express. . . . . . . :whistle:

Unfortunately I have not been able to locate the full list so far. Kevin in Deva.
