Hi guys.

I have reciently bought this pretty medal.
I have no experience with italian medals, but it looks nice.

Could anyone give me information about it?

I can see a crown and under it the letter Z, and to the right the letter C.

Thanks in advance.

This one realy makes a good display, a WKC Calendar, the mirror does have a few stains/spots on the top right corner but is fully functional.
These are order in 1942, Johnsson has the Original invoice of 1942 and he took a few over to the States.
I just love the crisp design, which also comes on a cardboard advertisement of WKC.
I addes my Weyersberg sword, WKC bowie HJ knife and my 3th pattern WKC army dagger.
Enjoy the pics!

Hi, I’m new to this forum, and I’m looking for pictures of uniforms from the 1950s. I am trying to look for a soviet-ish style of uniform, but more unique and no red stars plastered on it.

Please, leave some pics or some links in your replies.

Ever since I first read Mollo in 1969 or 1970, the footnote citations to the RZM Mitteilungsblaetter intrigued me, and, though I had access to significant
research libraries in CONUS and in western Europe in the years since, I never actually saw the things in reality, let alone owned them.

I have passed this threshold as a collector, and here is the magic logo in the original.

These are confusing, detailed, arcane and very rich sources.

Thanks to Peter Jenkins.
