dond Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) Not yet, I know this is the box for an Oldenburg FA Cross 1st class. Edited March 24, 2008 by dond
dond Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 Check out the reverse. Pretty interesting set up but that's not it either.
dond Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 Being an inquisitive sorta of guy I decided to look under the padding in the box. You never know what you might find. Now, this is it. Tell me this is a lock of hair from the owner?

Tell me this is a lock of hair from the owner?Considering the length, more likely from his wife/girlfriend/female relative.Or his favorite horse Edited March 24, 2008 by Tom Y

Guest Rick Research Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 EEEYUWWWW!!!!!!!Thanks for putting THAT suggestion into my mind!!!! Or even...Baaaad! Baaaad!
Stogieman Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Yep, going outside to bang my head on the cement and get that image out of my brain....
Guest Rick Research Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Oh please let it be a horsey! Oh please let it be a horsey!!!
Guest Darrell Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Actually Rick ... I think it's part of your mystery man's missing "stache"
Guest Rick Research Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 "Oh, Siegfried, something to remember when you were still a man!..." After the surgery, the first thing he saw as his eyes focussed was...noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooAchmed was a great cook... but it was never a good idea to inquire too closely about what went into the stew....
Guest Rick Research Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Tragically...the 1st Officer caught them below decksand they were all sent to the Naval Prison in Helgoland for 15 years at hard labor....
christerd Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Ha Ha Ha Now I will always keep my boxes closed, who knows what could be found inside.... Maybe a new area for collectors? I saw that some time ago someone sold a hair from "Red Baron " on EBAY maybe this is the rest? Christer
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 hmmmmm... the goat scenario must bring back members to old soldiers? I think its is probably sheep hair, sent as aphrodisiacs to commonwealth soldiers as part of their X-Mas package... the "FA" actually means "From Australia"
martin3 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I had a similar experience with my Hunyadi soldbuch.This is the book:
martin3 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 And this was behind the cover flap.You need to take a close look, but I guess those are beard hairs...
dond Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 That is my thoughts exactly. The reverse set up is unique too. Looks more suitable for a funeral pillow than for wear on a uniform.
Guest Rick Research Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 That is actually quite a clever No Soldering Required pin repair.
