My Collection

[jt327gir]

Hello everyone,

I finally got around to photographing most of my collection today, so I thought I'd share some photos with you all.

I've been collecting medals for about 2 years now. I started with a few Soviet WWII medals, then got into WWI and WWII German medals and ribbon bars. As I take more photos I will post them. Photos yet to be taken: German WWI and WWII ribbon bars, a few German WWI medals, all Soviet medals, some postcards (mostly Ottoman Empire-related), and the few East German medals I have.

A few of these items I will also post separately in their related forums for identification by association members (such as my GWB and one of my EK2 1939).

Enjoy, and comments are welcome!


First up, here is an EK1 1914 I received this week (discussed previously in the Imperial Forum)...
