          Skorzeny's original RK w/ Oaks was last in the Wolfe & Hardin collection. The ones on his funeral pillow he obtained "after" the war , (per O. Skorzeny).

            Yes Tom, thanks for the info I showed Skorzeny wartime cross in some older post, I believe.

              A set to be discuss here: Is this the cross bestowed posthumously to Fleet Commander Isoroku Yamamoto?

              If so, this is the first time I've ever seen it. I thought it may be within a Japanese Museum..

                    Would be really nice to see more photos of this one. Although impossible to tell for sure from this photo, it looks like it may be an S&L.

                            They don't look to be homemade OLS, but there you are.

                              If they are "homemade" they are made from a postwar set of Oakleaves & Swords.
