Hey forum new guy here.

I am here to ask if anybody could give any advice as to making an iron cross I just obtained look nicer. Things like how to polish the silver fix up the coat etc.

Pic is the cross, will take more if necessary.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys....Well, I'm really psyched over this one. It's a hand made Emura sword. Chounsai Emura was one of the best sword makers in the showa and his blades rate amond the strongest! He was a prison warden who was sanctioned by the army to produce swords. He even used slave labor (prisoners) to help him with the polishing.

If you would like more information on this smith, you can go to: JAPANESE SWORDSMITH CHOUNSAI EMURA

This smith is also mentioned in the Oshigata Book of Modern Japanese Swordsmiths 1868-1945 by: John Slough

Lots of pics to put up!!

Cheers!

Rob

Hi Chaps, I thought I'd start this thread to see if there was any interest. First up, a standard 1895 pattern pre/early war Prussian (and other smaller states) brass & nickel silver O/R's buckle. The tab is dated 1913 & I think the maker is A.S. Niemeyer (difficult to read)

Cheers,

Richard.

I was given a disk (both halves, although the disk is broken), in which I'd need help identifying. It reads:

O
2/SS - Na. 125
SS - VERFUGUNGSTRUPPE

Obviously The owner had O blood type, was in the 2nd SS. Any help would be great. I have included a picture of the dogtag.
