KC Group on the way

[kiwitedferny]

I have been eyeballing this group for about a year. I went firm on a commitment to purchase today. Il'll post close ups when it arrives.
It'll sit alongside the Jacob Futch KC group I already own. This grouping is, however, more 'complete' and the medals less battered than Jacob's.

Looking forward to seeing closeups when this lot arrives. Like Christmas in May.

Very nice grouping! Please post some pictures when it arrives.

The other grouping you own belonged to Jakob Fuchs, not Futch, the latter name does not exist in german. I have seen someone presenting that grouping on youtube, pronouncing his name "futch", good old jakob would turn in his grave.

Many greetings,
Stefan

Ahhhhh, ummmmm. I'd better 'fess up. That was probably me! My German is non-existent.

Thank you. I asked around about the dealer. They have a good reputation.

Nice badges but i don't this it's a group of one person - just brought together items. I bet DKiG is a light Zimmermann.

Well done Ted

A fantastic group.

E-Medals are a great source of quality items.

I always believe if you post pics of something before it arrives, it gets jinxed and the post office looses it :-(

Beautiful set in good condition!

Best regards.

I will ask them for a guarantee that this is not the case. Thanks for the warning. We will see....

Won't be my problem! It'll be theirs! Full insurance cover needed for something this valuable.
