Sometimes you just gotta get it out and play with it!

Doing some inventory and thought - while I had these out - a photo was in order:

Wow!!! What an extremely impressive display. Any chance we can see some close ups?

I take it you're searching for a knight's cross of the KVK without swords



You didn't happen to snag your boxed LDO BWB from Deltev recently, did you?

Again, awesome collection.

wow, this could only be in my dream

WOW

Nice run Skipper! I have not seen one of each laid out like that - congrats! But you need some more KVKs!!!

Congratulations, a fine collection

Thanks to all for the kind words! That was the first time I had everything out at home in years. Amazing how you can accumulate this stuff, albeit at a price.

Rob,
I actually picked up the black wound badge and box at one of the shows put on by the long-defunct Texas Militaria Collectors Association.

My RK of the Iron Cross was the grandaddy of the Flawed S&L RK's threads and was one of the RK's used in Dietrich's wonderful research article. Consequently, there are almost as many pictures of it on the 'net as there are of Paris Hilton's beaver!

I have photos of most of the others...anything in particular?

Best,
Skip

I know I am a little late, but I must say you have an outstanding collection of some real quality items. How about some close up photos of the 1st class War Merit Cross please!

Beautifull 'cross' section of some marvelous medals. Thanks for posting!
And you cross will be even published again as a nice example of a (very) late A-Type ...
