Attributed EK1

As you guys know by now I'm into Political pieces. Here's my one and only EK1 jeweler engraved for Luftwaffe Ober LT. Ernst Helm who was with the 33rd Flak Regiment. He was the son of Movie actress Bridgette Helm. This cross was from a large grouping purchased from the family.

Another 1938 Heer buckle

Gentlemen,

I have read the wonderful thread about german buckles by Ben Evans and want to make my modest contribution to the thread with a well worn Heer buckle I have from ages ago. I don´t recognize the maker from the list of makers Ben has included. The leather is -faintly- marked 1938 but it is impossible to tell the maker in the leather. The buckle itself has what looks like a "G K & F" marking, though it is partly erased. Was it a popular maker of buckles?


Regards,


Gus

Question Investing in Soviet medals - weighing pro’s & cons.

Hello there, would it be fair to say that Soviet medals and awards represent a sound investment opportunity in the current climate?
I'm aware that this question is rather broad and there are many caveats attached to it.
I'm mulling over, for example, a platinum coin from the Royal Mint on the one hand and maybe an Order of the Red Banner type 2 variation 2 and undertaking the research myself.
One investment is safe and sound and comes in a box, my wifes choice, the other would be a marvelous project yet be a step into the relative unknown, my choice.
Any thoughts you gentlemen have on this matter and would like to share with me would be most gratefully appreciated.
Regards.
Mike
