Recreated "Ordenkissen" or funera pillow.............

[youthcollector1]

Why be shocked as I am in the current funeral biz in the US.
I bow to your understanding of these items. I guess I am dumbass on the subject.

Ask me anything on the current subject.! but this is a order pillow and has nothing to do with a funeral persay.

Ok.....someone is in a bad mood. Forget I mentioned it.

Eric, really ? when and where then would an "Ordenkissen" be displayed, other than at a funeral of a decorated soldier ?
see this excellent thread albeit on another forum, that was instrumental in my decision to make such a pillow up for display...........

I think one of the most famous "Ordenkissen" photos that I can recall is the one carried at Heydrich's funeral service. I would have liked to have gotten a hold of that one, for sure! Naturally, not every fallen man received such an honor of this sort-it was reserved for Very high up officers and heroes. I definitely like the display that Steve made. The jet black pillow is very attractive background for the glittery awards. (and, yes- I like the little tanks as well! lol)
