We live in an amazing time, when an Italian Militaria Magazine, "Uniformi & Armi," has an outstanding Article about the quite rare Norwegian Frontfighter Medal - Frontkjempermerket!
Norwegian collectors opened up their personal 'treasure trove' of previously unseen Frontkjempermerket Medals, Miniatures, Documents, Uniforms & Publications for the distinguished researcher & author, Hugh Page Taylor, to assist him in his writing of this exceptional Article! (We've become accustomed to Taylor's outstanding writing & his attention to historical details - including annotated footnote references, in his latest book, "German Police, Vol. 2" by Bender.

The Norwegian Collectors posted ALL of the "Uniformi & Armi" pages of this quite special article (in a size in which the Print can not easily be read - so, I don't imagine that any 'copyright' problems exist.) There are a number of complementary Postings to be read on the Norwegian site.
I will post only some of the pages from the article in the December 2009 "Uniformi & Armi" issue, so that you can appreciate the fine detail of the Images & the superb Color printing! Amazing information is presented.
You may wish to obtain your own copy for reference. One doesn't need to speak Italian, in order to enjoy this article. Images are International & these are really exceptional. "Uniformi & Armi" certainly sets a very high standard for Militaria magazines, IMO.
With Computer translation programs (like Babelfish & Babylon) we 'non-native' speakers, can appreciate the content of these exceptional International Publications and Postings. This is a wonderful age in which to be a Collector! ...Txs, Dave/dblmed

Reason: sp
No. I do Wish that the the cased Frontkjempermerket set was mine, but it is not.
It was shown & the Article in "Uniformi & Armi" - & then the Norwegian contributor, Posted it on the Norwegian Forum thread. It is fascinating to
see all of these amazing Medals / Badges, all out there at one time.
I can't wait to get the copy of the Dec. issue of "Uniformi & Armi" - so that I can read all of the details. .. Txs... Dave/dblmed
