Bring backs from a Nisei veteran

[vostoktrading]

I recently picked up a couple odd & ends from a Nisei veteran's estate.

It came with a few German items. I assume they are good (real) because of the source. Not sure exactly what they are. I was wondering in the Iron Cross is wrong for the box, Box looks like it's made for a different kind of cross (the kind that goes on the pocket?). Jon.

Inside the box.

Great items. The box looks like the ones I have seen for the Iron Cross 1st class. Your EK is 2nd class. The spread winged eagle is a Feldanzug uniform breast eagle. The diving eagle is the Fallschirmschuetzenabzeichen. Maybe you can post some close-ups of the other German ones and the DUI of course ;-)

Thanks Lars. I'll try to get some better pics of the other items.

The 442 di's are also great

The pendant with the twisted eyelet is from the 17th or 18th century.

Thanks Gruss, I'll take closer shots and load them tomorrow when I get home from work.

I might have to dig out by macro camera for this one. My phone might not be clear enough to read the small details.

Hy

If I see correctly on her medal.

I see the Benedict / Bernhard of Nursa.

Here's a floor find of mine. Estimated age 250 years.

You can also get advice here. The man likes to help.

Great pictures Michael. Thank you for the link as well. I found my Nikon macro camera but not all the components for it so I'll have to use my iphone for now. I apologize they are not so clear but better than the first ones in this post.

Here's the largest one:

And the other two, front & back: plus the 442nd RCT patch type DI's that are European made.

Post 10, First

On the back is the Benedictine cross with the word "PAX" written above it - originally a Christ monogram, but also the Latin word for peace - the four letters "CSPB" in the outer corners of the cross mean again Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti - " Cross of the Holy Father Benedictus. "On the crossbar are engraved the initial letters of the incantations in which expresses the faith of the holy father of the order.

The little medal and her Bernhard are already very old.
