HetzersGonnaHetz Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I traded a WW2 US E tool for this. The condition ain't great but it's a start. It's marked 138, Julius Maurer Oberstein. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HetzersGonnaHetz Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) I can see the shiny stuff beneath the black around the edge, should I remove the grime and make it shiny? @DAK D Edited June 14, 2016 by HetzersGonnaHetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was in my collection I'd display it exactly as it is now. Spot on @Bill in VA +1 D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAK D Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi @HetzersGonnaHetz, Are you going to focus on Iron Crosses, or are you going to buy other TR medals too? D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major General Bil4338 Posted December 6, 2016 Major General Share Posted December 6, 2016 On 14/06/2016 at 23:06, DAK D said: Spot on @Bill in VA +1 D Absolutely! Can't recall how many regrets I've heard or read about from collectors who dicked with/'cleaned-up' their mementos....clean a medal and you're merely erasing the history of it lying in a vet's drawer or languishing in a garage or in an attic/loft in a box.almost disrespectful and downright daft! History is history and irreplaceable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
