Ostmedaille Paper Envelope/packet Good One??
Hi, I have read here on the forum they made, or still make fakes of these paper packets the Ostmedaille's came in. I also read here that the real ones have a very high cloth fiber content and other features if real.
This looks OK to me, what do you say on this one??
I know the seller well, and he will return any items I get if not happy.
Reghards, Steve

Winterschlacht Im Osten / Good or Bad One???
Hello, I would like one of these "Ostfront" medals, and was offered this one for $50US. I have read here, there are fakes floating around. Is this a genuine medal? It has no maker mark on the ring. I can also get one with a number 15, a little better for $65, and also another very good condition maker marked zinc medal, with the paper envelope for $85US.
What do the other members think about the pricing for/and the choices available?? I do not mind one that is not maker marked, I just want to make sure it is real, and not a forgery.
I was also offered a black steel wound badge I have no pics of. It is in good condition, and has about 85-90% of the black finish remaining. It also has an "88" maker mark on the back. Is the "88" a legit maker of wound badges??
Regards, Steve

Is This Considered a Camo Helmet???
Hi Pics of some Helmets and Ostfront relics I just have just received. They are from Narva.
I made a post in relics and arch. section on these items, but maybe the wrong section to ask these questions, so will ask them here.
Is the M42 helmet in this picture, the "green" colored one with 2 holes, that has to me what looks like, a sand and paint mix, considered a "Camo" helmet by collectors or experts??
Does the damage to that helmet appear to be battle damage, or just rust or corrosion??
The smaller hole looks to be indented a small amount, not much, but is present, but there is no exit hole on the other side. Maybe a hit that was not powerful enough to penetrate the other side??
What is the significance, if any, about the difference in color from the other "feildgrau" ?? grey M42, Unit, or personal preferences maybe?
The SSh39 is absolutely battle damage in my opinion.
I wanted a nice Soviet & German Ostfront battle field relic helmet to display with my weapon and grenade collection, and think I found some very, very nice ones. Great look to them.
I was going to resell one of the M42 helmets, but after seeing and handling them, I want to keep both now. 2 different examples of paint work, and the 3 helmets look good together. All the relics were a fair deal, and these are some of my very favorite items, especially the German "Beer" ? bottle. I will find a Russian vodka or beer bottle to go with these items sometime.
I will not touch anything, except I did a small repair to the Stalingrad medal that I show in the other post in Relics section.
Thanks in advance for any opinions and thoughts.
Regards, Steve
