Gordon Williamson Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Nice ribbons Gordon,they wouldn't be from Mr Weitze would they?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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
