Obergefreiter Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yes he did, but I'm surprised he didn't grab a Knight's Cross while he was at it. Some of the items in his grouping are a lot harder to come by than one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Per Paul's request here are several overviews of Mr. Livsey's German bringbacks. If someone would like a better look, I will be happy to send an email of an individual award. Please don't hesitate to ask. Nick. Very interesting pickup Nick! Thanks for posting. Will it be possible for you to post better scans of partisan badge obverse and reverse? Regards, Nick P.S. Thanks Dan for starting this interesting thread :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiller8 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yes he did, but I'm surprised he didn't grab a Knight's Cross while he was at it. Some of the items in his grouping are a lot harder to come by than one of those. The Knight's Cross of the War Merit Cross was rarely awarded (only 255 total medals) and restricted to individuals prominent in the German war effort, as stated in this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Merit_Cross), Any awards that survived the fall of the Third Reich would likely, in my humble opinion, have wound up as museum pieces instead of cheap, post-war souvenirs.
