Hi Ron

I like the look of the case, but have not seen one like this before.

I think a brown style case with a westwall medal has shown up a few times in the past and discussed but I was not sure what the consensus was with regard to those.

The grouping looks great, did all the items come with the cased westwall?

If possible can you please post close ups of the mini medal bar and buttonhole, they look awesome

best regards
Graeme

Graeme,

They did not come together.

It is believed that the brown cased examples are not period.

Here are close ups of the mini medal bar and buttonhole device.....

Hi Ron

Cheers for the info on the brown cases, now I remember the discussions. Just checked a couple old threads and the brown fake cases all had a designation to the lid as well.


Your bars are superb, thanks for posting.. I have a soft spot for westwalls with their packets so for me you showing them was a treat.

best regards

Hi Ron

Funny how certain threads get the interest up. I checked on my westwall items and found this pic. Could be your single bar in wear, right down to the pin showing on the right hand side.

Did not mean to hijack your thread, just thought it was appropriate.

I have not seen too many pics of these in wear.

cheers
Graeme
