Looks good Chris. It will be a Vet bring back with all those rank pips added to the ribbon.
Cheers, Ade.

Here are my court mounted KVKs, I can't find any reverse shots for some reason but these are among my favourite medals.

Very nice crosses, Adrian.
I like them a lot mounted. They are just so much better looking for some reason.
Of course i will Adrian. I don't like messing around with these stuff. I respect them. Only if it's really necessary i change things and there is no reason here. For example i have a German war relic helmet which i purchased to repaint. I don't mind changing that coz someone has already done a post war repaint which looks not good. I would like to repaint it my one way with LW decals. I have 2 more helmets. One is Stalingrad relic and the other from Kurland. Those i kept in the exact condition i have purchased them.

Oh this was the wrong thing for me to see and then to read that they are 'affordable' ... ouch.
I really like these. I had promised myself when I first started coming here that what I had was pretty much enough and other than a tinny here or there would stay away from becoming obsessed (like a few people here ) with starting collecting certain items.
I believe that I may break my promise to myself.
That said I have a few beginners questions. 3 actually.
What is the difference between Parade mounted & Court mounted?
What would be some of the things to look for to just get an idea of one being the real thing? ... I'll do some leg work of my own of course.
And last but not least that dreaded value question.
I'm not looking for anything other than perhaps middle line to top $ I should expect to pay. I understand that documentation, pictures and other things will put a bearing on that figure as well as personal likes for a given piece.
