Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

I have to say, I quite love the idea of using a fieldgrau cloth background. Great idea, hope you don't mind if I steal it :/

Looking good Joe ! - I too like your idea of using that background as well.

There are some - West Wall, Austrian and Czechoslovakian Occupation,
but other than a couple of party pins or cap badges, you are not
going to get much else in there without more shuffling.........!

Hey Joe, ( wasn't that a Hendrix tune? )
How about a Silver wound badge or an Eastern peoples medal to balance out the Italian Africa one?

To me, using feldgrau wool as a backing seemed natural... that's what the awards would have been worn on, no? If you call At The Front, they will probably give you a scrap of fabric for the price of shipping... they gave me the back of a whole jacket that must have had a measuring or cutting error when being produced.

I need to do some more research in the eastern peoples medal as well as the west wall, Austrian and Czech occupations medals, too. I have a party badge and a mothers' cross, but I want to keep those separate because they are civilian...

Much more feng shuiy now...

I'd like to add a close combat clasp... but dang... so expensive.

This close combat clasp is on it's way!


I am thinking of moving up the wound badge and sandwiching it between the wound badge and general assault badge in my display. What do you folks think?

Joe that is a very good display..well done..looks top dollar. Cheers Terry....

I got the wool from atthefront. It was actually from a tunic that they made a mistake on. Instead of throwing out the fabric, they gave it to me. I paid shipping, of course.
