Chris Boonzaier Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 There are simply too many different ones for me to collect, but I have grabbed the odd one over the years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Of course, the Verdun ones grabbed my eye.... very small unit, so extremely difficult to find.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 A group to a (gulp!) Artillery officer with a strong Verdun connection. He was also within small arms range of the last US soldier killed at 10:59am on the last day of the war.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming it is cottage industry/Commercial? It is not really designed well... It was in an officers group... http://www.kaiserscross.com/136501/236701.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it hasn't changed much from what I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
