Thank you and, I have loads more that need to be on CD then posted ;-))

These are from WWII:

Collar tab singles for:
Sturmbrigade Langemarck and Nordland.
The pair is German Army Bishops tabs that I no longer own due to thievery. These are some of the most rare of the rarest collar tabs they had since they had only a few who were Bishops. The rest were Chaplains with one for every German Division--Bishops were one for every Army Group.

Since there available but are not my Grandfathers awards--ill post em anyway. All of these are some of the Imperial German awards I collected:

The cross above is one of 2-3 I have but this one also has the For Bravery bar. These are Friedrich August Crosses 2nd class and are equal to the Prussian Iron Cross 2nd class.

The 2-place Medal bar has the 1914 Iron Cross 2nd class along with one of the three Hanseatic Crosses I have. In this case-its the rarest of the three--which is the Lubeck Cross-awarded to those who served who were from Lubeck. They only awarded about 5,000 of these. The other cross shown is nr 2 of the three Hansa Crosses and was awarded to those from Hamburg--and there were around 50,000 of those Hamburg Hanseatic Crosses awarded. The third and not pictured-is the one from Bremen--and about 10,000 or so of these were awarded. That one has the same colored ribbon but is with several red and white vertical stripes.
