Kev , there's more. Yes over time but most from before they were fashionable. I posted a lot of these on WRF many moons ago and am now just working through the attic when I get a few hours.

Guys as stated above. Rich

Thanks Justin, so it not post war, looks like I proffed then! Cheers Rich

Like wise, happy new year!

You could try WAF as they have a lot of good German readers, HPL2008 springs to mind?

Very difficult but for me, Pz. Drillichanzug /rock, IE the HBT wrap for doing maintenance? Under that a fur hat and under that a winter jacket.

Kev, I stand corrected, good site, lot of detail. Merry Christmas! Rich

Well then you are into unit histories at platoon level, good luck. I see nothing wrong with what you have posted, to find the detail you want you will need some luck! Perhaps you could look for Feldpost that was for this unit and time or pictures. You could also try the Bundesarchive to see if they have anything? I don't think that there are many people with more info than Lexicon, etc... Good Luck Rich

Guys, better pictures

Guys, snagged this cheeky bugger! Best Rich

Cool guys, thanks for he info. Didn't recognize the fact it was 'King Billy'!

Guys, got a load of stuff but these are the most interesting from the WW1 pile. Neck order, any ideas? Best Rich

I think anyone can buy them? Not keen on them as they have no official status? They are not issue so a bit like a 'schutzenfest' medal? Best Rich

Well it is probably better you didn't buy a broken one as the damage makes it far less collectable. There are plenty around some makers are more common than others. They are nicely made for the most part but there are a lot of fakes. If I remember correctly both GMIC and WAF have specific sections just for the Iron Cross where you can see pictures of both originals and fakes. GMIC is Gentleman's Military Interest Club and WAF is Wehrmacht Awards Forum, watch out on WAF as it is full of con men in the classified section should you consider a purchase there, to be honest be careful on all FB and internet sights. Good luck with the search! Best Rich
