Original example bought by a friend on a hotel buy a couple months back.
 

 The example is framed, stamped, signed, dated and named.  It have everything you need to make a research project of.  If you do let me know what it turns up!

This is a maker marked medal, it was vet purchased from a friend not long ago with some other wonderful badges.  I can't tell what the mark is with my old eyes but it is there.

I had never heard of this before but a friend did some research on them for me.  This one has a stamped in “FEC. W.E. Peekhaus Berlin” to the reverse side; normally it would be raised as is the JFS trade mark.  The condition is really nice, take a look at the pics! 

This badge was out of my collection and was one of my favorite.  It is a rare maker and has subtle but very unique characteristics to the die. Wonderful badge!

I collected PABs for a long time and it took a lot of work to find this maker, they are very rare!  This one is in excellent condition not that I was picky since they are nearly non-existent! 

This is a super rare PAB in my experience of collection them for a couple of years.  They almost never have the bronze lacquer still present as this one does.  It is not perfect but probably one of the best you will find! 

Decent example with a good amount of the silver finish still present.

This badge has some of the silver finish still present on the obverse and reverse side.

This badge still has a good amount of lacquer still present, nice badge!

 This badge was recently purchased on a hotel buy, it is really stunning!  It has nearly all of the lacquer still on it!  I would rate it as 90% or so complete on the obverse side and about the same on the reverse.

Decent example of this badge.

Decent example of this badge.

Very nice badge with some wear, not too bad and a definite original of a rare badge!

This example is in silver and well marked on the reverse.  It is marked RZM M1/34

The bronze finish is faint, take a look at the pictures.  Overall this is a nice badge but the catch is missing, otherwise a nice badge. 

 These are really interesting badges that were apparently used by the SS.  This one has one campaign and date plaque listed on it and is well marked on the back side. 

This is an outstanding example of an Honor Badge of the Technical Emergency Service, (somewhat similar to the Army Corps of Engineers) bearing the year 1923.  It is one of the few Nazi awards which came numbered and was awarded in an accompanying numbered case.  Oftentimes now the case is missing or, even if present, mismatched to the number on the medal.  No problem like that here, though!  Both the award and the case bear the same number “1951”.  It is in nearly mint condition.  You will never have to upgrade this item!

 The Spanish Blue Division, often referred to in German literature as the 250^th Division, was a group of volunteers from Spain (under Franco’s fascist rule) who served in the German army on the Eastern Front.   The unit served in the northern sector of the Eastern Front, and experienced some of the harshest battles of the war together with their German compatriots. They served on the Volkhov front, as well as on the Leningrad Front, stationed in Kolpino, where some of the most vicious battles of that siege took place.  They were also directly involved in the horrific Battle of Krasny Bor, in which over 70% of the division was wiped out. This medal is a commemorative medal reserved given only to Officers who served in the division (there was a different commemorative medal given to enlisted men as well.  I’ll be offering one of those in the coming weeks as well).  It comes in the original issue carton, in what can only be described as unworn condition! An extremely rare item to find!

I have collected Purple Hearts for years and this group was always on display as my only Chaplin related PH material. I have never researched who he served with or anything else about him. Will be a nice project for someone. Wonder where the medals are?

This is a nice set for Staff Sargent Robert Darnell ASN 34 249 947 of the 13th Combat Engineer Battalion, Seventh Infantry Division, who served in the Aleutians Islands, S. Philippines, Leyte Island, and the Marshall Islands operations. The group consists of one cased Silver Star numbered 84765, case in poor condition, one Purple Heart, case in poor condition, one good conduct medal, Sterling Silver Combat Infantry Badge, two Ruptured Duck button hole pins. A notaries copy of his enlistment record and separation listing the medals and noting that the SS was awarded under GO190 HQ. Also included is his shot record,  a piece of Chinese paper money enclosed in plastic probably a short shnorter? and numerous paper items. I have seen other WWII groups where the CIB was included if the unit saw combat, I would love to see the general orders for his SS. The individual paper items are newspapers from 42 and 45 , shipboard papers, and family items. As you know any good WWII groups are getting rare. Condition of medals very good+

The group consists of the following A- Distinguish Flying Cross slot broach, not named, cased. B-Air Medal full wrapped broach, not named, cased. C-Pair cloth Padded Pilot wings theater made bullion with sewn on snaps. D-Full 3" size clutch back sterling Pilots wings maker LGB. E-2" size pin back Pilot wing sterling maker AMICO. F-US Army Air Corp Bullion patch theater made on velvet. G- CBI Bullion patch made on velvet theater made, matches the USAAF patch exactly. H- Coin bracelet with four coins and CBI shield in the middle. I- Bracelet made from a officers US collar insignia10K gold maker LGB. J- one second Lt. Bar looks Australian made,  two sterling 1st Lt. bars, two sterling captain Bars, one winged flight collar insignia, one DI that says I Serve, and one plastic son in the service pin.

Its a shame we don't know who the pilot was who he flew for or what he flew, but as I said if I knew the group would be in my collection. Condition Very Good

 The former owner of this bar had an interesting history.  He was in the army and navy and many different theaters and WWII as well as Korea.
