Fake or real?

This looks like what would go under the Litzen of a Assault gun uniform. Is it real or fake? I got it a long time ago and just found it in a box.

Question Russian uniform around 1918/19

This is my great grandfather. All I know is that the picture was taken probably around 1918/19 in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Would be great to know what rank was he and what kind of uniform is it, White army or Russian empire army? Any info much appreciated. Thanks.

Medals That I Bought! (Are They Period, or Restrikes??)

Meals!!! (Sorry for the helmet, I pinned them to it to display them easily, and I was too lazy to take them ALL off and put them ALLLL back on, so I just left them on as I took the pictures)

Tell me which ones are period and which ones are restrikes! Because, at the prices I bought them, (about 40 dollars in total) I doubt that all of them are period medals!)

Ludwig Bauer, last RK recipient, 9. Pz. Div.

Hello Gentlemen and fellow collectors,
Santa Klaus finally reached my home and brought me this nice signed photography of Leutnant Ludwig Bauer, last recipient of the Ritterkreuz for the 9. Panzerdivision. At the end of the war, he was chef of the 1st company within Panzerregiment 33. The photo was taken in 1946 after his release from captivity. He never receives the diploma and the RK shown on the photo has been handmade by his comrades at the PoWs camp in Reims (France).
In fact, Ludwig Bauer was not aware that he earned the RK until he went into captivity. He wears a Panzerkampf Abzeichen, a gold wounded badge and EK1, ribbons for the EK2 and Otfront medal.
The next photo shows him in his Bundeswehr uniform, with 1957 awards.
The last photo shows him 18 months ago...still in good health...
I wish a long life to Leutnant Ludwig Bauer from Panzerregiment 33, and later Oberstleutnant with Panzer brigade 36 (Bundeswehr).
I hope you like it...thanks to Guilhem and thanks for looking
Thanks
:)

WWII Finnish Camo Helmet?

Hello
I just picked this helmet up recently and all I know is it is a WWII Sweedish helmet that was probably used by the Fins. I have never seen a helmet like this before so I really don't know much more about it. I have no clue what the red mark above the nazi symbol is and I would really like to know what it is. I also found it interesting that the helmet is camo. I would really like to konw what kind of helmet this is and also if it is authentic or not? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank-You
