Kriegsmarine Two steps closer..........

[Gordon Williamson]

...to completing my collection of U-Boat ribbons.

First, the ribbon for Unterseebootstender Weichsel.

Attached to 1 U-Flotille and later 22 U-Flotille. Survived the war to be taken over first by the Royal Navy then handed over to the Soviets.

and the ribbon for U=Bootsbegleitschiff Erwin Wassner.

A command ship used variously by the F.d.U., B.d.U., 2 Admiral der U-Boote and Kommandierende Admiral der U-Boote.

Sunk 24 July 1944 in a bombing raid on Kiel.

Seventeen down, four more to go.

Indeed they are. I managed to get in quick and snag these two. I missed one that I wanted unfortunately, and the others I already have.

[Gordon Williamson]

Congratulations Gordon! Are you going to frame them up once you get them all?

The ones I already had were in a temporary frame. If and when I find the handful I am still missing and with these two new ones, it'll need a bigger frame anyway.

[Gordon Williamson]

This is the one I really wanted, but someone beat me to it. It was reasonably priced too. In fact if anyone is looking for U-Boat ribbons they'd be well advised to try for the examples that Weitze has at the moment ( assuming there are any left). His prices are very sensible compared with some of the insane prices I've seen being asked for U-Boat ribbons lately.
