Is this good, or junk?

I have this collection of WW 2 tank commemorative pins, and was wondering if it is a good set, or a touristy junk set? I suspect it is junk because it comes in a pink & white box!:shok_yikes:

What kind of shulterklappen are these?

These are rather large for shuilterklappen - it seems to me. approx. 6 cm x 14 cm. Any idea what they are? They are a matched set, I just turned 1 over. Thanks for your help.

wanted WW11 German Buttons.

Hi again fellows,

Does anyone have a few spare tunic buttons to spare/sell, even dug ones:D

I am just after a few to put with some single shoulder boards I have, which are pretty rough, so pitted buttons are fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated:o

Thanks in advance,

Grant

Luftwaffe Goggles

Here is an original pair of Luftwaffe goggles from WWII marked "Flieger - Splitterschutsbrillen mit Ultrasin Gläsern "A"

They are in very fine condition. I doubt they have ever been used. Not a scratch on the glass and not a crack in the frame. The elastic ofcourse has a little give after decades in the box







My medal collection

Finally got a new camera and took pics of my meager collection.
Click on the site below to see them. I put them on a photo collection site so as not to eat up space on the forum.
Hope you guys enjoy seeing them.

Question Reichsadler Badge Found in Buenos Aires

On vacation in Buenos Aires a couple of weeks ago I found this very nice Reichsadler badge. It's quite large at 11 centimeters or 4.25 inches across.

Where would this have been worn? It seems too big for a hat. There are no makers marks on the stamping. It is non magnetic so I am assuming it is stainless steel. Any comments as to real / fake would be appreciated.

Admiral Graf Spee Find

While on vacation in Buenos Aires a couple of weeks ago I came across this sailor's hat ribbon in an antique store.

Since most of the sailors from the Graf Speed ended up in BA, I think this could be orginal. The quality of the ribbon leads me to believe that it is German origin.

I would appreciate any comments on the fake / real debate.
