Jumpmaster Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share #51 Posted November 8, 2018 I should have dropped these guys in their respective sections. I dont have lots of ribbon bars but these are my favorites. Iraq made set with the sewn snap mounts on the reverse. A Soviet set I recently grabbed, could be made up but at less than $10 Ill take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skysoldier80 Posted April 26, 2019 Share #64 Posted April 26, 2019 Early in my collecting years, I once owned a very nice 1920s era PLM that was rigged to wear and had been worn. (first expensive thing that I ever bought) and sold it to get more stuff from my Great Grandpa's wartime Regiment in the German Army. Now I regret not owning one anymore. I was thinking of trying to find a cheaper S&L (Late 1940s) one just for display purposes. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumpmaster Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share #68 Posted February 26, 2020 Thanks very much for your kind words. I have an old jewelry cabinet of sorts with drawers that I lined and display some like that. Found it at an estate sale and it fits the bill. Here are a few of the drawers.

Jumpmaster Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share #70 Posted August 23, 2020 Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre grouping to husband and wife. Estate find near my home with an amazing history. Each spouse was a Knight/Dame and later Knight/Dame Commander. Sadly the breast stars were missing from the group. Doctors Julian and Clara Ambrus. While studying medicine at the University of Budapest in his native Hungary during World War II, he was part of the resistance, first against the Nazis and then against the Soviets. Captured and thrown into a Soviet prisoner of war camp in 1945, he drew on his medical training to befriend a Russian woman doctor. After she tipped him off that all of the prisoners were going to be shipped to a gulag in Siberia the next day, he spent the night digging a tunnel under a barbed wire enclosure. When he emerged on the other side, there was the doctor, pouring glasses of vodka for the guards who were manning machine guns in the watchtowers, distracting them long enough so that he could make his escape. He began medical studies in 1942 and married classmate Clara M. Bayer, in 1944. During the war, his wife and her family sheltered Jews hiding from the Nazis in their home and in a vacant textile factory nearby. For saving hundreds from the Holocaust, she later received the Righteous of the Nations Award, the Israeli government’s highest honor for those who are not Jews. Dr. Ambrus went on to become director of cancer research at what was then Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Also a department chairman at the University at Buffalo Medical School, he trained hundreds of graduate student researchers and guided their work. He lectured at medical schools and symposiums around the world. He and his wife helped settle refugees from the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, finding jobs for about fifty former army officers in Roswell Park’s experimental chimpanzee colony. His wife Clara was research scientist at Roswell for twenty-five years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
