I've become almost exclusively an ORS/BM/CSM man with the occasional OG3 and wartime OPW2 (often with broken enamel) thrown in the lot. I've got a few other fairly expensive odds and ends, but I stick with the military basics these days because I can still afford them and find them. Research is the "long pole in the tent" now because it often costs nearly as much (and with BMs and CSMs quite a more than) the cost of the award itself. It also takes a really, really, really, really, really long time to get back if you don't have a doc and name.
