Show your battle damaged awards!!!

[Tim C]

Hi Mike,

Sorry, don't know. As I understand it, the story is OK, I guess that's easy to verify, just the RK was rotten. As to if the cross is real and was 'plugged' to enhance the story, or it's a repo cross, don't know. In the 'Iron Time' the cross certainly looks like a Junkers, but they don't show the # corners, so couldn't say for sure.

Mind you, as was discussed on previous threads over in the crosses forum, It was an honest mistake by Mr Previtera, and shouldn't detract from the books substance.

Regards,
Tim

PS : agree Dez, impossible to verify, unless you were the one that 'took the shot'. Personally, I have mine just for something diferent, and treat it as probably manufactured. Still, I find them interesting.

Hey Rick ! You got any cased St Henry's with a bullet through them??

not exactly an award per-say...

Here was on of the more interesting items that was found near the aid station for the 'Wiking' division in Budapest Hungary.
