Nice shot, but where are the Infantry Assault Badge and General Assault Badges!
Your Fallschirmjager cloth badge looks to be in great condition, and that medal bar is sweet aswell!
Nice looking Close Combat clasp too by the way, what grade is it?
Edit : I also like the KVK with swords!Last edited by SunsetIE; 08-24-2013, 3:21 PM.Comment

Thanks guys. I honestly have no idea what any of the stuff is. My grandfather brought it all back from the war. I have dozens of metals and patches. I've never looked into what they really are.
I'm just trying to improve my photo skills and figured some old WWII stuff would be cool to take a picture of.
I appreciate the kind words.Chris

Nice - please do not sell without researching there are some desirable items there.
PM - and I will give you the names of everything you have and I can send you a link to a site that you can research everything - the medals will often have manufacturers info. on the back.
It might be interesting for you as your grandfather, although he may have traded other GI's for these items, he may also have snagged them from prisoners he had contact with.
Thanks for sharing,Pitfighter.

As Pitfighter and I said previously, you indeed have some very nice items. Do not sell them on a whim (or at all), you will regret it!
I figured with that many pieces, you were a collector, and that is why is replied in that manner!Comment

Nice picture/items.The laws that forbid the carrying of arms or laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

Looks great, but use some camo from that era next time maybe? Just a suggestion, not criticism. Otherwise, well done!Comment

What kind of Mauser is that? Definitely not a German K98k.

Nice close up of History there!Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...
I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.
Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

Nice picture, but the digital camo throws it off for me. Just my opinion.Comment
