    US TARIFFS ARE BRUTAL (Personal Anecdote)

    Ok, Thanks Alan for bringing up good points. Yes, The USPS and others have increased their shipping costs. The grouping I was successful for was for a metal (Tombak) badge, zinc metal wappen, a silver/bronze pin/nadel, two award documents and a period book. The final price was $1767. The 24%...

    US TARIFFS ARE BRUTAL (Personal Anecdote)

    Well, without getting into any political debate. The reality of tariffs just emphasized that they are indeed real to me today.... I was successful in a bid from a reputable Canadian Dealer I have dealt with in the past. In the past, shipping was $30 USD for a small package. That was what the...

    Opinion On This German Machine Gunner Badge

    Ok, so I will share a bit what I know. The Juncker marked badges are a minefield. Most are flooded with forgeries. I believe that the details around the bullets, and the "grips of death" make me doubt this badge. This is just my humble opinion. There is a great thread that is very...

    USPS: Destroyer of artifacts

    That fault goes actually to the seller and person posting vs the Postal Service IMHO. With proper packing and care, you can prevent this kind of damage. Bubble wrap, a Ziplock® or other plastic waterproof baggie with some packing tape securing the package nicely, ensuring the medals won't...

    Post your "Hate Belts"

    I too have always wondered about these and why they were termed "hate belts". But, this is the word that seems to depict these items. I like mine because it has both Allied and German insignia. Best Regards, JustinG

    Scored this 1897 officer Pickel with its case!

    Very nice. I would suggest finding something to cover/protect your rank soulderboards. Dust easily gets impregnated in these and a light vacuuming can help, but over time, the dust can detract and become very difficult to remove. Just From my own personal findings. There are Ryker cases much...
