Last weekend the entire collection from my friend Philippe Gillain from Belgium,
who helped me a lot in the past with my books, has been stolen from his house!
And when I say collection, one hardly can imagine what this means. I have seen
the collection many times and I must say it is practically impossible this is done
by one person only. This must have been done by a gang, a scrupulous number
of thieves, and must have taken hours and hours before all was taken from the
house!
It is speculated the theft was on orders of some person, who may have paid the
gang for their job! Who knows where all the items have landed. We can be sure
the items from the collection won’t be offered that
quickly, as for now it is HOT STUFF!
I will keep you all informed, but believe me there were enormous rare items in the
collection: hundreds of rare buckles, rare cloth insignia, numbers of headgear of
all kind, flags and so on. Too much to mention!

This zinc version used the same die as the tombak 4.02 version with the closer spaced maker mark. It has a short barrel hinge and flat bottomed Tombak wire catch.
It’s already been posted (see link below) but I thought it deserved to be shown again as it is such a beautiful award.
From the photos you can see in detail some of the casting "cavities"
Hope you enjoy it.
