I have decided to make a different thread today,
I got some beautifully Jeweler repaired EK2's from my friend today (Kay) and a big thanks to him!
The Jeweler repaired EK's are marked FR and HB and they have been repaired professionaly By a jeweler, and what makes this an other beautiful story is that instead of buying a new one, the owners have been so attached to their original EK that they repaired it.
Proud soldiers!
Some of you might wonder the medal in the middle and what is is doing there.
The medal is from the Finnish Freedomwar/civilwar 1918 where Germany helped Finland to gain independence. The medal is a Freedom medal 1st class made of Silver and awarded for extreme Bravery in battle (A finnish counterpart for the iron cross for enlisted men and NCO's).
It was given to me by my greatgrandfather personally a few months before he passed away and it belonged to his Uncle.
The reason I added it on the photos is because it is now the time of October when he passed away the year he died, and it did fit in very well in with the "wounded" iron crosses, because he himslef was a World War 2 veteran with serious wounds and disabled for life.
It is more like a memory of him and to honor the memory, because this is the only thing besides the memories he left to me.
His own warmedals are in the possession of my relatives.
I hope there is something for everyone in this thread!
Best regards from a collector,
Daniel
