Nice, Gerd. Many thanks for this. This is nice eye candy.

Even though many of these have been posted elsewhere here, it is good to see them all in one place, as it gives an idea of the coherence of a collection.

[Gerd Becker]

Thanks, Ed. That was my thought as well.

[Christophe]

Gerd,

Very nice!!!! Congratulations!! You did very well in 2 year time!!! And these black frames are very well adapted for highlighting the medals.

Cheers;

Ch.

[Gerd Becker]

Thanks, Christophe. I am glad, you like it. The black background is indeed very good, but you can see every single atom of dust on it

Gerd

[Christophe]

Dust is our worst enemy , may they be in a frame or a cabinet...

[Guest Rick Research]

Yes, displayed makes a great impression. I only have one case for "rotating displays" and everything else is tucked away (and sometimes forgotten) in storage...

so the only display I have is SCANS.

Same for me!

[Gerd Becker]

Glad, you guys like it. In my opinion this beautiful awards have to be displayed and presented in a decent way. Whenever i look at them, i see the stories and faces behind these orders and medals and that wouldn?t be as much fun as if i had to store them in boxes, i guess.

Thanks for the compliments

[Stogieman]

Hi Gerd. Nice collection. Looks like it has been more fun and productive than the minis.......

[Gerd Becker]

Hi Gerd. Nice collection. Looks like it has been more fun and productive than the minis.......

Hi Rick,

yes, indeed it is. You know, i loved my minis, but i never could afford a traceable mini-chain or was patient enough to save up for one and this one is really big fun for me now as its much more personal.

Thanks

Gerd

[Blitz]

Very impressive Gerd!

[Gerd Becker]

Thank you, Antti. Glad, you like it

[Paul R]

Regards

Paul

[Gerd Becker]

[Ulsterman]
