Bryan,

Where have you been hiding?

That "40" is a very nice addition to the collection, and a hard piece to find.

Here's the Luft version with the mini.

[Bryan Poon]

Hi John

hiding at home .

I am lazy and want to cool down myself in this hobby for few months. Now, I want to return.... acutally I am here I will hard working again to build up my collection.

Your Luft version is lovely but I love the mini more I think it is much harder to find one.

Cheers

Other than a few Truly Ancient generals-- not necessarily in senior ranks or commands

like Generalmajor Hermann-Erich Voigtl?nder-Tetzner here (circa 1941)

My one and only ribbon bar continues to elude identification after all these years, since I suspect the wearer was TYPICAL of "40" holders-- in this case an ex-regular officer who had become some sort of a military Beamter:

but the "average" Wehmacht 40 holder was a mid-60s Oberleutnant level clerical official close to retirement. Command personnel just didn't LAST that long, retiring on their much better pensions to make way for younger war leaders.

Thanks Rick, a very nice ribbon bar (I want to buy one into my collection) and great introduction to this class of service award

Cheers
