    Very nice, Carl! Although you didn't answer my question! ;)

    And about all your militaria: I still liking much more Ewald von Kleist's shoulderboards... ;)

    You know me! Friedrich and the field marshalls... :D

    Friedrich--please refresh my memory--which question did I miss?

    My formerly owned bu Field Marshall, Ewald von Kleist, 5th Uhlan Kavallerie Regiment Shoulderboards can be seen on www.wehrmacht-awards.com website in a posting made by my Yankee friend from Taxachuttsetts, Popularly known as: The Ring Wielder a.k.a. Richard J. Lundstrom.

    Go to where you see the search feature and put in shoulderboards or Uhlan shoulderboards and you should see a good pic of them. If not--then ill try to see if I can find the posting that he talks about them in.

    I should be getting my 1957 Silver Close Combat Spange, and my 1870 Ek 2nd in a few days, plus my Silver wound badge (1940) sometime this week.

    But woe is me--this will most likely be all I can get for awhile :(

    My Generalleutnant boards were also on the forums as well, but I bet the pics on those too are crunched. My GenLt boards are as mint as you can get.

    By the way, I just got in my 1870 ek2 and it is a beaut!

    It has nice and crisp details to all the stuff on it. It still has a bit of old tunic cloth on its backside. Also the ribbon is in very nice condition.

    Now all I need to arrive is my Silver Wound Badge (1940) model, and my 1957 Silver Clost Combat Spange.
