My collection WWII (German medal & badges)

[norsk41elv]

Jørn

I'm speechless, stunning items and displays that would put any museum to shame. Can't wait to see what's next.
Two questions
1. What, out of everything you own do you like the most?
2. If you get medals with unused original ribbons, do you hang them (one piece) or leave the ribbons untouched?

Stefan

Thank you Stefan
My next item is a 10 pce medalbar for a Finnish SS-voluntary soldier (I hope ! Will meet the owner tomorrow)

1. My car (since one can not own his wife or kids)
2. Normally I put on the ribbon. The exception so far is on the Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes and the Blutorden. The other ones can be easily replaced if necessary.

I certainly hope that someone wasn't naive enough to think such a collection would sell for $7000. Looks like ioffer is becoming The place to scam.

Really nice collection ! Indeed, it seems it has been a very busy year for you.

This is serious sh*t.
Did you inform ioffer to ban him?
Imagine people are coming here, stealing our photos and then ripping off honest buyers

Do you have a better picture of your Krim shield? It looks slightly like a reproduction I have, I may be wrong so don't take alarm to my question!
