Bish--Stevin, I almost forgot. Did I ever tell you about the DOUBLE Freikorps ribbon bar that I have?
It has the Silesian Eagle 2nd class and the Baltic Cross. This is VERY rare to have Double Freikorps awards on a ribbon bar. I think it is on one of my 6 place ribbon bars to a ww1 soldier.

Quite welcome and I agree--Martin is a vampire.
Erich--pics of my tiny militaria collection might be posted here sooner than I thought. The ENTIRE collection should be reunited within a week or so--and then Volkbert has his work cut out for him in posting pics--when I can send them to him that is.

Stevin--Ill get you hooked on collecting soon. When I can ill get scans made of some items and send them to Volkbert to post for me. I think you will like a few of the items soon to be offered.

Carl-- I will convince Stevin that collecting medals and uniforms is a must. Imagine reading about WWII when you are surrounded by a great collection!!! In March we will visit a militaria show in Holland. That must be the turning point.
I am waiting for the pic's Carl.
