If you have been following my tribulations with another member (who shall remain nameless) in The Stockade section, then you will be pleased to hear of my
unexpected happy ending. Ed, or "Standby54", read of my difficulties (EVEN THOUGH HE WAS IN NO WAY INVOLVED) and offered to help. Six weeks ago, I
had an agreement with another board member who sells his insignia in this forum, but this person took my trade and never delivered his end of the bargain.
Anyway, long story short, Ed emailed me out of the blue and said that he was in the 1/6th insignia business too, and offered to send me my KM insignia free of
charge, "just to get his name out there". I naturally took him up on his offer, and his care package arrived yesterday. His work is of very high
quality and is comparable to the best of CVI's product line. Kreigsmarine, or KM insignia as it is refered to here, is hard to come by. He even sent me
more pieces than I had asked for, with a greater variety of different ranks, including specialist patches. The KM insignia shortage is especially painful since
Battlegeartoys make a beautiful KM field grey tunic, but no insignia - except the eagle - to go along with it. KM insignia is vastly different from regular
Heer insignia with its shoulder board's pointed ends and embroidered anchors and therefore existing Heer boards cannot be modified. Anyway, thanks again
Ed, and my KM Normandy defenders project can now begin!

Your experience, I believe, is typical of most of the folks we 'meet' in this hobby...
IMO, the large majority of floks in this hobby are REAL 'stand up' people... I think that's also why the few 'less than responsible/accountable' and 'mean-spirited' types stand so far out from the 'crowd'... Bruce |

Thank You | ||

It was my chance to give back. Folks in this hobby have been most helpful with pics and answers when I had problems finding some of the insignia.
Glad to help. Ed |

I have purchased some stuff from Ed off of ebay.....the insignia I ordered came in record time and is wonderful stuff to work with...as good as CVI stuff....I
even asked for extra sheets from one of his sets and that was no problem at all.....as he stated in a return email...."we aim to please our
customers"
A pleased customer I am!

I too was contacted by Ed(Standby54) reguarding the KM insignia that I was waiting on from you know who. Ed deserves a big round of applause and my future
buisness. Not many would step in and come through when another person leaves you up the garden path.... Well Done Ed!!!!!

Forgive me if i'm wrong, but isn't Standby54 connected with Karens Patch Attic which in turn was connected to the infamous Wynston Warriors? I'm a
little confused here. Maybe the business has changed hands, but my dealings with Wynston Warriors and Patch attic were not too good. Again, please correct me
if i have confused the sellers.

yes it was. | ||

I sort of inherited it when my uncle passed. I try to keep it up and in good order. As I said a number of folks have been very helpful.
Thanks Ed |

I got he insignia for my Red Cross Worker from "Wingsnthings", aka "Karen's Patch Attic". I'm real happy with
the product and I'll definitely buy from them again.

Just to let you know....I also had issues with WW and Karen in a couple of dealings with them.....but since Ed has taken over he seems to be treating the
customers right and i have since felt confident enough in his actions to pass his ebay info off to others....so i sure hope he keeps it up!
