New Imperial Collector.

[Ralph A]

I thought I would start off small with this little blue thingy and work my way up.

Isn't it pretty? I can see why you guys go for this stuff.

[Ralph A]

But where's the swastika?

This must be the rare "non-swazi" variant, eh? This will take some getting used to.

Hello, my name is Ralph and I'm an Imperial collector.

[Rick Research]

Good choice!

And soon we will teach you the Secret Recognition Signals and everything!

[Eric Stahlhut]

I guarantee you

that you'll never get as overly excited over a zinc badge as you did before you obtained that beauty!

Congrats!

[Ralph A]

Can't...take....

...my eyes...off of it.... Note to self: no drooling on the MVO.

[Mike Dunn]

Hey! Sell all your Zink to Stogieman and join the fun!!!!! Mike

[Eric Stahlhut]

Here, Ralphie!

This oughta whet your appetite for more...

[Ralph A]

oooo! eeeee!

where's my wallet? Is that St. Michael? So much to learn, so little time....

[Mike Dunn]

Got a grand idea--lets make this a enamel thread!! Here is one of my favorites. A beautiful blending of metal and enamel!!!! Oh and it is cased!!! Mike

[Ralph A]

Now THAT'S

Jewelry. Fantastic! Great idea on the thread. Could I please see another, sir?

Also would be nice to know what they are.

[Eric Stahlhut]

Hey, Mike!

Here's a 50'er for you!

[Eric Stahlhut]

But Hey!

Dear Ralph,

Even without the cases things can be kinda fun...

[Rick Research]

Loose... cased unmounted... (love those Foehr "easel" display cases, Mike-- had one just like that!)...


naaaaahhhhhh:

Ralph, you need MEDAL BARS!!!!


"Feel the Force!..."

[Eric Stahlhut]

Imperial equivalent of 'Zincpest'

Notice large enamel flake missing. YAAAAAAAAAARGGGHHHH!!!!

The eighth day...

... God invented enamel. So that man might adorn himself with graven images.
