German cross in gold real or fake

Hello i have this german cross in my family for at least 20 years,when i got it out recently it was so dirty,i mean real dirt that i had to clean it with sope,but i am afraid it changed the colour a little bit,but most of the patina remains.The cross suffered a fall at one point since the swastika is chipped in the middle and the wreath got displaced a little bit,hower the enamel is solid and deep so its not to bad.It has no maker markers on it.I am supposing this is the original because of the quality and the age,but can someone tell me for sure please.Thanks

Small group from Stalingrad

Hello.
I recently obtained a small group of erkennungsmarken from the Stalingrad-region.
I would very much like if you could give your opinion on these.
My interest is brand new in these objects so any information is of value.

Best regards
Laplander

Buckle ID please

I've posted these on an other thread but I'm looking for the maker of the Police and Heer unmarked buckles . They both look to be made the same. The belt is not marked from what I can see. It also looks to have green felt on the inside . Belts and buckles are not my area. Thanks Gary

Cap Badge Dilemma!!

As a little suprise, I've just bought my Great Uncle Joe a replacement beret, but I don't know which cap badge to get!

He was in the Ayrshire Yeomanry, and - as far as I'm aware - was attatched to the Royal Artillery. Joe was a Sherman tank gunner.

I'm unsure whether he would of worn an Ayrshire or an Artillery cap badge! Any help would be great.

Cheers guys,
Lee
