Hi Greg, really awesome! It must have been wonderful to hear the story behind each one of those pieces.

[mvm71]

Holy Sh*T!!!! That's one hell of a haul!!


Congrats to you, any backround on the vet's experiences......



Enjoy,
Mike

Seems like a real nice guy and good friend, the stories must have been great. Nice items, particularly like the insignia.

Finally some promised close ups!!!

Hi all,

Firstly I'd like to thank you all for your comments. They mean a lot coming from all of you. Sorry for being so slow in replying to your requests. The weather has really sucked here the last couple of days and I have been busy as all heck. I have snapped some shots that you all requested and have to do some more but these will have to do for another couple of days. If anyone wants me to post anything else specific then please feel free to ask.

Cheers,
Greg

I'll start with the High Seas Fleet (my personal fave of the lot). The lighting doesn't do this one justice as the gold finish is specatcular on it.

The backside.

[GregK]

Destroyer.

This Destroyer has been well used. It has some repairs to the reverse which are definitely period as this is exactly the way the vet picked it up. If only it could talk!!!

[GregK]

The back. You can see the repais to the catch. The pin has also been repaired.

[GregK]

Flak Birdies.

Both Flak badges. The Luft badge has unfortunately lost it's swastika at some stage. It wasn't de-nazified as it is crudely broken. The veteran says it most probably happened when he was bringing it home. Pity as it really is a nice badge.

[GregK]

Flak reverses.

[GregK]

Luft Ground Combat.

Average Luft GCB. Nothing too special.

[GregK]

The maker mark.

[GregK]

That's it for today. I know I've left a couple of requests out. I will get to them ASAP. As for the requests for pieces other than badges I will be posting them in their respective forums tonight.


Cheers,
Greg
