SailorTzipi Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Can't believe I haven't posted pictures of my little collection, so here's a few. At the moment I have only German and British, but I'm going to expand my collection to French, Belgian, Soviet and any medals issued during WW2. A nice little medal, citation, tag and box found in a charity shop. A set of 4 with citation and box address to Webster W.F Single WW2 Stars. The 1935-45 Medal was another Charity shop find. My EK2 with bar. War merit with Swords with button ribbon. My Auschwitz Cross. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hi Tizipi, great little collection of medals there, some great finds love the Pacific star, not many of them handed out. And I've never seen a Auschwitz Cross before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorTzipi Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Cheers guys.KVK is stamped 6. Not sure what make it is though.When I saw the Auschwitz Cross I knew I had to have it. Im planning on making a memorial display with them and taking some repo camp patches etc, because the real things are impossible to get and cost a fortune! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorTzipi Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Is the ribbon on the KVK is fake? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 ribbons look OK to me Have you done the black light test and the burn test ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr bridger Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Ribbons are fine no probs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorTzipi Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 I did the light test and the burn test. The thread burned instantly and the ribbon didn't glow under the black light.Will this test work for British medal ribbons too? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Andrew Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 My friend turns up original bars from time to time if you need any let me know. Maker mark 6 is for Fritz Zimmermann, Stuttgart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Only, an original Battle of Britain bar would be hard to obtain. I have a copy. I would be carefull about the burn test. Ribbons are getting shorter and shorter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
