named para medal

i need a answer, i picked up a medal named to a Pte, in the AAC i found out he was KIA at Arnhem in sept 44. My question is why is it named? I didnt think they were, and why would it be done post war, by whom? It's on its own and had no sale patter with it, any ideas, i got it for a tenner, so market value un named. Is it worth anything more than i paid, ill post a pic in a while

Danzig Cross thoughts

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering what some of you guys thought about the Danzig cross. I am aware that it is one of the few awards that does not feature the swastika and that there were only a few produced. Namely 88 first class and 253 second. I have been searching around the web and have found 2 respective websites each with Danzigs for sale, both are GDC and MAX certified. Each featuring a relatively low price on these examples. I was wondering why this would be so reasonable? Is this just a less sought after metal, is there a flood of fakes on the market and these cant be trusted, are these not well documented? Anyway, any thoughts on these would be much appreciated.

Thanks kindly,

Jess

here are the two examples

Kar 98 Russian Recapture

I purchased this Kar 98 Mauser today at a show. I thought it was a nice looking piece.

The sling is a repro I bought to carry it home. I also purchased some Turkish made 8mm rounds in a bandolier.

I am happy with it and the price was right.
