Jeff,

That's a beauty. Even with these pictures, the Belgrade medal is to die for Wink
And, by the way, the handwriting and the ink are not exactly WW2 vintage.
There have been a couple of scam artists operating for the past couple of years out of Oz. One of our Forum members (Grenouillet, not to name him) was caught with a Branch Marshal jacket, which turned out to be your standard, run of the mill general's one. And he did not get his money back either. Definitely to be thrown on the barby!

Actually the Stalingrad medal seems authentic. I have seen numbers stamped on the back of such medals, one in Odessa.

This would correspond to the number of the award document given with that medal. I cannot comment if it was a very common practice but at least was done.

It's just incredible that he has so many "put together" groups. The grammer in his description either says he was educated somewhere in the southern part of the U.S. or a slavic immigrant.

Is there no end to the insane ugly ways to display uniforms? Come on, a golden coloured female display stand with long finger nails, hair and a cross around the neck... for an East German VP tunic. It is a shame.

Patrik,

Maybe you should try that on your site to make things "sexier" Wink

I'll discuss it with my tailor/stylist, but I am afraid she is equipped with good taste.
