Fellow members ,Jack-pot! After running a buisness for 18 years removing the contents of attics,cellers etc I found gold. A woman whos husband a ww-2 vet and who died was moving out of state. She threw out a card-board box with the following:
Knights cross of the iron cross
Knights cross of the war merit w/swords
U-boat badge (late war)
Close combat(bronze)
Brest eagle (wire)
Wooden figure of women with kriegsmarine clock inset
WW-1 badge with crown and center with blackand white crisscross within a red square.
No doubt the the 2nd listed is rare if ANGOLIA is correct 118 total awarded with swords. Does any other forum member have one? I wonder how many survived and is there a forum that registers the owners of these? Any help or comments would be appreciated. Skippy
