<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leonardo Scherer, post: 898497, member: 8633&quot;]Hey guys,</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s been a long time since my last post, and I have got some new pieces, and some really nice ones...</p><p><br /></p><p>11th Hussars Cap Badge:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/L5Ya2mQ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Iron Cross and Hindenberg Cross ribbon bar:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/mt0coEi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Iron Cross miniature (any info on this is welcome):</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/grjM9yh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sudetenland Medal:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/lXLNWQZ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/axbCrTz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Medal of War from Brazil from WW2 (this is the name of the medal... I guess they were not very creative). Awarded to the military, Brazilian or from allied nations, or civilians who have performed relevant services during wartime or on special government missions. It was created by Decree-Law No. 6,795 of August 17, 1944.</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/51GugHg.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/RSAfyGH.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Peacemaker Medal (Medalha do Pacificador), I think I already posted this, but now I got the ribbon bar for it too, it has a slightly different collor and that&#039;s due to different maker.</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/BzPNOHL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Aeronautical Merit Order miniature medal.</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/giz4wRJ.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/uZF0Qlp.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For this one, I have already posted the breast plate:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ifPLyNO.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nazi postcard:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/pe0iJNC.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Aq6fjrv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/6AOcjRM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And now, the best aquisition I have ever made: Iron Cross 1st class from ww2.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here goes how I got it:</p><p><br /></p><p>Last month I made a big gamble on this piece. Saw it at an online auction starting very cheap, pictures of the front and back, looking good, showed to a friend, who is a long time collector, and he said it looks original.</p><p><br /></p><p>I won the auction for a third of it&#039;s value (I paid R$300 around 70USD, here in Brazil it&#039;s worth around R$900, around 210USD), which is still quite a lot of money for a college student and for the last month I have been worrying and regretting buying that thing, the pin on the back was looking weird, not just the pin, all of the back looks too new...</p><p><br /></p><p>When it arrived I teared the package in a hurry to check if there was a sign that it was not one piece, and it seems like the frame is not one with the core... Rushed to find a magnet and my heart almost stopped as I put it close to the medal... It sticked... It happens that the pin has been replaced and the back has been polished or cleaned, but it is original... I was so happy I almost cryed.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/B51jUmh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/7Bp15bx.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
