Here is another positive remark about the book. I was very fortunate to get his attention and support - and I'm deeply honored about his judgement.

Don't be impatient - the books will come. I am more impatient than you all are!

A fantastic Foreword Dietrich , from a Man who lived the History we only study..You know of course that your name will be connected to the Story and History of the RK .

[WenRan]

Thanx Dietrich , indeed EYEcandy .

But you sayed not the Rudel piece ?
So there are more know original piece's .

[Dietrich Maerz]

So there are more know original piece's?

Yes, it has long been reported that a total of 6 sets were made (which makes completely sense). The remainder were stored at Klessheim. I could only located one set (750 gold with diamonds, 585 gold with saphires), both cased.
Very elusive pieces...

Marc has pretty much summed it up. I was able to get out of work Friday and attend the show. This was the first show that I have just concentrated on Luft badges. To say I was appalled, is just an understatement. For the dealers that had predominately junk, I let them know loud and clear. All that accomplished was: what do you know?, don't buy anything then, and dirty looks. The best defense against these scum is to know your stuff.
