    My Growing Collection

    Hey all,

    I want to share my growing collection with you....I am very pleased with the progress I have made since I first started focusing on my collection, seriously, last year this time.

    In the last few months I have made the most purchases and although now almost broke it was well worth it!

    RK 1957 Early magnetic type, marked 800 on reverse with worn ribbon.
    EKI MM 20 Worn condition
    EK2 on left MM3, mint condition
    EK2 on right MM76, worn condition

    All award documents seen in my display are to Unteroffizer Horst Muller.

        Wehrpass to Konrad Hennemmen, saw service during WWI on both the Eastern and Western front. Earned the EKII and another medal which I cant remember The other document came with the Wehrpass and is about his work and what he is to do if called up for military service.

        EKII is in worn condition MM K
        Coin is from 1912 and has been in my family since then - If memory serves me correct is is drei marks.
        Hindenburg Cross
        Photo is actual photo dating 1946 that was taken by my great grandad in Koln after the war. He lived about 20km away from Koln itself and moved to South Africa in 1948 or thereabouts.

            Nice displays and well done, it's a very complete collection and a good starting point to increase it. I like to know what unit served your Unteroffizier.

            Hope soon we can see it growing.

              Hi Angel,

              Thanks for the comments.

              Just for your info I have translated all of the Wehrpasses and written 'life stories' for each one. In regards to the award documents I worked out, with the help of many forum members, where his unit/s were at different times of the year etc. He was in the 321 Infantry Regiment, stab Grenadier Regiment 589....

              If you would like anymore info feel free to ask.

                Thanks David, I have an special interest (not know why ) with Krimea related pieces and I see he was involved in this area, do you have more pieces from him?

                    Hi Angel,

                    Sorry I dont actually own anything else of his, just the documents....did some research but havent put it all together yet.

                    @Paul it all depends on wether you want one of the 925 or 800 marked pieces. The 800 pieces are better quality being made earlier and can cost up to about £300 whereas the 925 pieces are poorer quality and cost £100.
