For me thats a tough call to make ... 2009 was a very good collecting year .

But my favourite would still be the Mühlenkamp grouping with this RK being the highlight of my collection .

2009 has been a good year for me too, lots of nice EK's, but this has got to be my best piece........medals 482.jpg A 1st pattern S & L RK, that belonged to Luftwaffe ace Ulrich Wernitz

[Seewolf]

i think you all know what has been the BEST item for me

It´s my RK attributed to Franz-Josef Dreike.
Yesterday i surprisingly got mail from the seller - with the Repro collar tabs Dreike bought after the war One more present for me

You must choose!

How about this.....choose your two favorites, and then flip a coin?

Some great and admirable pieces and acheivements shown here my friends.

Almost every piece I have was acquired in '09 so, initially it seemed it would be somewhat of a daunting task to decide which was the "neatest." I recalled each thrilling moment in finding and acquiring each piece and it actually became quite easy.

While the RK is the pinnacle of German WWII awards, I chose my favorite '09 acquisition based on their relative rarity and the incedible feeling of satisfaction I had in aquiring each piece in what eventually made up this set. Nope, not one piece, but one set.

My '09 "neatest..."

What a lovely deumer u-boat
It´s hard to find very early S&L u-boats but these ones are the rarest. Absolutely great one....
Mmmh, the die looks like the same as mine. Maybe we can compare these two sometimes
