Chris Boonzaier Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 The local hardware store has some great frames that are very easy to modify to make great frames.... Bit by bit I will reframe my groups.... The first frame has two groups to Bavarian Leib Regiment men who fought at Fleury. For anyone interested in the battle of Verdun, Fleury is one of the most important and bloody parts of the battlefield. The top group is a silver bravery medal group to Hans Mennacher the lower group to Franz Zwieknagel.... The Edelweiss with Zwieknagels group is a post WW1 Leib Regiment veterans Edelweiss.
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 A group to Franz Engl, The EK1 to a Bavarian Corporal is very very scarce indeed, rarer than a Silver Bravery medal. Engl got his one for Extreme Bravery as a messenger in the forest of Malancourt at Verdun, and further excellent achievements as a patrol leader in Various Battlefields. The Helmet place is a battlefield find from Verdun, the divisional insignia shown did not belong to Engl, just for display.
jaba1914 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Very nice. Do you put the frame on the wall? Kind regards Edited January 28, 2019 by jaba1914
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 The Germaan Toom Hardware stores sell perfect Pinewood frames, you just need to modify then a timy bit and you have a superb frame with about 2cm depth..... here the 2nd bavarian Jäger group to Lt d. Lw Zieglewalner and the bullet that wounded him. The Edelweiss was not his....
ixhs Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) Yes and as a background always use Wollstoff, Filz, Seide or Samt in black. You can also find some good cheap frames at IKEA Edited February 4, 2019 by ixhs
