Display cases

This is my medals and awards section. Four dark cherry type cabinets that contain most of my awards. Mint EK's, WMC's, IAB's, GAB's, TDB, CCC in bronze, etc. I also have a "memorial" section which contains a battle damaged relic helmet, dog tags, original grave photos, etc.

I also have many SIGNED photos of KC winners throughout the room, my favorites are the award ceremony pics..........and my FieldMarshal Von Paulus signed photo!!!

this is the top of the wall, early political eagle with two death documents, one to a panzer trooper, the other a infantry soldat. I think they are highlighted nicely by the wall sconces, looks very nice at night!

This pic shows my mint cased 1939 EK's..........super mint "26", mint unmarked "100", super mint Spange, and a nice screwback!!

EK 1 & EK2 award doc to a sixth panzer vet too.

Signed photo of Von Paulus, my favorite.
