Chris Taylor Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) Now here's something I really enjoy, devices & mini's! Great idea Bob!!I've got quite a few, but here are the highlights, grouped together for easier viewing. I'm not naming all the awards they're on, as I'm sure most of you know 'em already.If I have a little more time later I'll see if I can't round up some sword devices, which I left out as a whole here. (There's just so damn many of the little buggers! )First, here are a few Crown & Sword Devices, EK devices & a couple of button hole devices as well as a couple swords & "VOR DEM FEINDE" bar....

Chris Taylor Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) The next 2 are Wreaths, on Austrian awards, with slight variations to all. The first one has an enameled green wreath on the Austrian Order of the Iron Crown (probably my favorite bar too!)...

Chris Taylor Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) A couple more Austrians, the bar on the bottom one appears to be actual silver! Edited January 21, 2006 by Chris Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Taylor Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 A couple W?rttemberg Wreaths & a Wreath w/sword on a 1920/30's Veterans bar.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Taylor Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Now, only because Bob shared some of his rarer TR devices, I feel obliged to do the same. Here are my 5 Customs devices. If these babies are rare, then the first one is the rarest! A cut out variety w/LDO makers mark on the back. I can't recall though if it's L/11 or L/18. The one next to this is a 3/4 size example, the 3 on the bottom are the standard type, but each with subtle differences.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Taylor Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Here are some more equally rare Medal minis.2 different Polizei 8 YR minis, 8 year SS mini device, 1936 Olymipcs medal mini, & 2 FLower War minis (Austria & Czech).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Taylor Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Last for now are these 3.The 1914-18 Non Combatant & West Wall mini aren't as rare, but are uncommon none the less.The one in the middle on the other hand is, the RAD LS device.
