Through my hobby and throughout the making of this website, I've had the pleasure of being in contact with and meeting many helpful people who share the same passion for orders, decorations and medals.

I am proud to know them and cannot thank them enough for all the time and effort spent on my behalf. At the risk of forgetting someone momentarily, I've tried to compile a list in no particular order of those that made their expertise and/or assistance available to me throughout the years - again, my thanks to all and everyone of them.
