RedMaestro Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 War Merit Crosses and Eastern Front Medals.One of the Ostfront medals has some sort of button on it. Anyone know what that is? Also, is there a way to keep it in such good shape?

RedMaestro Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 My small, but slowly growing Polish medal collection. The 1st class Merit Cross is cased and documented. See http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2538...mp;#entry239429 for the group.
RedMaestro Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Now some of my favorites, Soviet groups to Guards Senior Lieutenant Trofimov and Guards Major Grigory Didysenko.See http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2418...mp;#entry229353 for Trofimov and http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22055 for Didysenko.
RedMaestro Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 An Order of the Red Banner of Labor and Bravery Medal (1965) to two different people. Also some undocumented single awards. See http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2418...mp;#entry229323 for those.Research is pending on just about all of these. However, with the delays that seem to be plaguing research these days, I don't expect to see results for months.
RedMaestro Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 And finally, my collection of fifes and piccolos (well, piccolo at the moment). As a Revolutionary and Civil War reenactor and fifer, I think it was only natural I started collecting these. The ones I have were made by Crosby (Civil War period), and George Cloos, Crosby's apprentice who later started his own business in about the 1880's. The piccolo is marked "Nach H. F. Mayer," a flute maker of German origin. I am currently looking into purchasing German fifes made during WWI. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get one yet (close but no cigar), but I'll find one soon.Once again, help appareciated with some of the German stuff. Thanks and enjoy!Alex
