ph0ebus Posted 14 September , 2011 Share Posted 14 September , 2011 Cnock, Fabulous pieces! I do have a question, though. In the one pic tagged 'Prussia', the triangular fold of the ribbon on the EK I thought was a style only worn on Austrian EK's? I of course am likely mistaken, but I could swear I read that somewhere. I would be happy for a corrective experience, if one is in order. Thanks, and keep sharing! -Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnock Posted 15 September , 2011 Share Posted 15 September , 2011 Hi, Thanks,Daniel, Wainfleet Daniel, EK II is indeed Austrian style, but where I acquired it, had no link with Austria regards, Cnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgardiner1418 Posted 17 September , 2011 Share Posted 17 September , 2011 Grumpy, I have a Grenadier Guards bed duty plate like the ones in your superb collection but it is minus the badge. May I ask what type of badge would have been on the plate? Cap, collar, lapel or where they specially made. All the best, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaki Posted 18 October , 2011 Author Share Posted 18 October , 2011 Does anyone have a collection of commercial tobacco/cigarette tins that would have been familiar to the ww1 soldier?. I see a lot of old tins but don't know their vintage and whether the artwork is correct for 1914'18. If anone could assist with photo's I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Fisher Posted 24 October , 2011 Share Posted 24 October , 2011 I currently have some of the collection on display. Here are a couple of photos of the Great War items. The rest of the photos can be found at www.vickersmachinegun.org.uk/displays-veterans2011.htm If anybody would like to visit in the next few weeks (it's in Swindon, Wiltshire), feel free to get in touch.

Khaki Posted 25 October , 2011 Author Share Posted 25 October , 2011 Hi Richard, nice material, wish I could get to Swindon, is it a public display? maybe you could get some photos for those of us who cannot attend. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roger0803 Posted 31 October , 2011 Share Posted 31 October , 2011 Not sure whether this is the right place to post this or if anyone will be interested, but I collect, amongst other things, Ypres sweetheart badges. I have attached a photo. I have about 20 more to add when my sore fingers have recovered from fixing some yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 31 October , 2011 Author Share Posted 31 October , 2011 Wow, what a neat display, a subject I know nothing about, but wish I did. My eye was attracted to a badge that looks like a kiwi silver fern? or is that a coincidence. Love to see some or batches of your display closer up if possible. What can you tell us about manufacture dates etc. regards khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
