Beautiful Collection , thanks for sharing .
Very nice
You can explain the different parts ?
Thanks
Of Course ! All original.
I cannot explain each item here - It's too time consuming.
Best you get some good reference books on Czechoslovak Medals.
From 1918 - 1945.
What specifically were you interested in ?????

Nice collection , I used to have one of them Customs officers dagger, quite hard to find these days
Hi Kradman - The Customs Dagger was a GI bringback. The blade is perfect since the GI covered it in cosmolene preservative
which was only removed about 15 years ago when I acquired it. The dagger was owned by a high ranking official per the colors on the belt. It has a story also: When I got it the pearl on one side of the handle was shattered and the bronze handle itself was concave. I appeared to have been hit by a pistol slug which probably saved the original owners life. I had difficulty replacing the pearl handle, although all the pieces were there, but finally found someone in Pakistan where it was hand made for $ 20.00. The repair to the brass part was done by a local expert that put it back together like it was new. The Pakistani guy sent me 4 handles
which were hand made to 1-1,000 of an inch precision. I originally tried to purchase one locally but was floored by the cost.
This is what makes collecting interesting.
