Boy that's impressive. So many nice examples and covering so many things. I think you need to give the RK KvK a more prominent place, I almost missed it. SUCH AN AWESOME COLLECTION

Really nice Jeff. It is so good to be able to display all your items - and to do them so well. As for the obvious items, I see you are missing the silver balloon badge as many of us are - except Luud of course. As well as the gold APB. You see those sold once in a while.

I'm still waiting for the right display case that I can buy so I can do the same as you.

Thanks again for showing. I hope you can find the missing items.

Regards,
Rudy

Thank You to All

Thank you ALL for the kind comments and support over the years as a 57er/Post War collector. I am blessed to be able to safeguard these awards for a time until they move on someday. I remain a humble collector, and will focus a little more on wartime cloth insignia items now, primarily tabs and boards. My 57er/Post War collection, is really a collection of parts of other's collections, as many items arrived from fine WAF members. A special mention to Steve, Karsten, Rudiger, Nick, Rudy, Joerg, and Mathijs from whom I have received many nice awards. Also, to Nigel for many years of guidance, and for leading the 57er village.

Also, I want to thank Sepp45 for all of the great images that he posts, and Tom for providing "sage" advice as well as "been there" knowledge.

Now on to the questions:

@ Nigel: Hopefully, at some point I can fill in a few of the missing War badges and LW clasps.

@ Tony: Thanks, and I will raise the RK KVK stand to the height of the nearby RK.

@ Rudy: I think many of us are on the hunt for a few of those elusive 57er War badges! Hopefully, we will get lucky at some point!

Again, thanks to all for the comments, and I will see you all in the 57er village.

Best,

Jeff
