Even in that God for saken area of the US where you hide out you should be able to find a decent STELLA.

I'll be awaiting your report

Philippe,
You have wonderful taste - it is a great grouping. That PAB seems so unique - I have never seen all those charachteristics together - is the catch repaired? Awesome!

And Robert, you can find a way to make any photo romantic, even warbadges & beer!

Taste very good Phil, you got me switched!
Have you noticed that my bottle is green, when yours are brown? In our country it is all about the green dollars...
Ps. I'm at the 2nd one now... - 4 more left...

Txs Marc. Like I wrote it's a bit beaten up but all things considered I would rather part with my mint bronze JFS 50 PAB then with this little grouping.

I do like mint items but when you put them next to these type items they just don't talk to you in the same way. I guess they are not the things you schould by from an investment viewpoint but if you're interested in a glimps of what the recepients had to go through to earn these then they beat the off the shelf stuff with both hands down.

Both the PAB and the EK show typical field repairs. What ever material was arround was made to good use as long as it was functional and the obverse of the badge stayed halfway presentable.

On the PAB both the rivets and the catch are replaced and unlike modern repairs or replacements they didn't spare the badge itself or tried to immitate the original hardware. Functionality and robustness was the only thing that mattered.

Rivet,

Notice how wide the area is grinded away to allow the replacement rivets to be fit.

Yep I sure noticed, that's why I put up the "original" bottle. For you guys they put it in an expensive looking green bottle and you probably have to pay more then double of what they cost over here.

According to Stella your sole is saved Robert, from now on you'll feel at home where ever they serve Stella. The slogan they use overhere is " Een man's thuis is waar zijn Stella staat" translated that would be " A men's home is where his Stella stands"

Dear Phil,
I paid $8.61 for the 6 pack...

Dear Phil,

Oh my God its even worse then I dared to imagine. Since my wife always brings them home I especially looked up the going rate: €6,96 for 24 (twentyfour) bottles. Enjoy your very expensive import Stella Robert.

I think I'll ask Fedex how much it would be to ship you a few from time to time

Dear Philippe,

I think all pieces of that group are great - that PAB probably fought!

(and I'll hang with Skip with the Weizenbier, though for this transplanted Kentuckian today was for mint juleps with bourbon!)

Best,
Greg

[Thomas Durante]

Philippe,

Very nice grouping. I do like the worn pieces myself.

Also think I found a new beer to try, although not much can top a cold Miller Light after mowing the lawn down here in Charleston. Its already hot as hell down here ...
