Fake Order Patriotic War first class ?

Gentlemen,

This order is on a spanish auction site. I am 99% sure it is not legit, but I would like your opinion just to confirm it , as I want to answer the seller which offered it to me after I asked him a question about another soviet item.

For me, the giveaway is that the order itself looks as a cast copy, with a "dirty" mintmark and the numbers are engraved in a weird way, not with the usual system.



Thanks in advance and regards,

Gus

GRENZ - POLIZEI Uniform Ensemble

Gentlemen,

I have an antique dealer/picker who frequents my shop that came across the following.

He has asked me to inquire online concerning it's authenticity and perhaps a generalization of it's history. Of course, an estimation of it's value will be his next request...:D

In any case, he is a nice old guy, and a good customer, so I told him that I would be honored to do so.

This is the alleged provenance story from the family that he bought it from "Uncle Herb sent my father this German uniform and with other souvenirs in 1945. We had to move Dad to a nursing home in January of 2008 and found the uniform in a box when cleaning out the house."

I am numb when it concerns stuff like this (I collect strictly Soviet items) so I would appreciate any facts, opinions, or otherwise from you, my knowledgeable and professional associates...

Many thanks in advance.

medical crusher, without standard insignia ?

Hi guys,
here is an early crusher cap for a medical Officer, got this along with the Officers early overseas cap, it does not conform to the text book crusher with bevo insignia, never got an eagle with it, but you can see the shadow of where it was. Still looking for that perfect eagle.
Regards,
Kevin

Need help! Gorget….confirm authenticity

Hello, I am new here and have this Gorget.
From my research so far it seems authentic, but I thought you guys would be able to help confim it.

The backing is wool, there is a tiny M on the back of one of the clasps, but it is hard to see in the pic.
