Great idea Rose to build a collection of patches and medals around soldbuch's !! I also like the way you display the EKs ribbons-they look like they are attached on a tunic!

Keep it up

Hi Rose,

Beautifully displayed very tastefull with the ribbons and the soldbuch's I love it!!!..
I think it is very nice to complete a set like that and I know how hard it can be sometimes to find all the right pieces...
Keep up the good work..

Thanks again guys!

Just a small word of caution, exposure to light will eventually fade your displayed soldbuchs. Jacques

I keep my display in a room with 1 window, and I keep the curtain always closed. So they're not exposed to any direct sunlight, or hardly any light.

I have thought about the photo copy idea and considered it.. I haven't tried it to see how it would look yet. But i will check this avenue out, and see how I like it.

Hartigan/ ww2coll - The EK tunic ribbon is what i was going for

JOH- I put the ribbons in there thinking that they would look nice/add to the display's overall feel. I love how they look as well.


(the ribbons arent actually attached to the bucher just held in place by the archive sleeve)

Rose, it certainly looks great, a very nice way to display EKII ribbons!

Very nice collection!

I like the idea of bringing back an individual's awards with the Soldbuch. That's an original idea; I don't think i've seen it done like that before, and I like it.

And, I'm a big fan of framing and displaying awards on one's wall! (as you can see below). I'm just showing an example so no comments, please, on my stuff; focus on Militarymedics fine work.

Whoever said those discouraging things about your first attempt needs a good swat upside their head; that's no way to deal with a fellow collector.

So keep up the good work!!!

Rose,
You could always scan the soldbuch ID photos and have them professionally blown up in size on glossy photographic paper and put next to the soldbuch. I do this with many of my original photos and they actually display better in shadow boxes at larger sizes. I must say that I do like the EKII ribbons tucked into the soldbuchs so perhaps scrap my suggestion

Hi Rose,

You have some very nice displays overthere,well done !!!
No mather how small a collection is,it's the quality and the way the collection is displayed what realy counts !
I have seen collections with piled-up uniforms,equipment and headgear covered with dust in a small room...the first reactions were "wow...soooo much" and "i would like to have that much militaria in my room"

It's better to have a focused and well-displayed collection than a pile of militaria without realy knowing what you have...

Keep up the good work
