I bought these medals..are they original? Fake?

I bought these medals awhile ago and I was wondering if they are original or reproductions? How can you tell the difference between real and fake ones?
Thanks

2 big KM shell cases.

Guys,

Like the flak 18, rescued before going on the laith to be restored to shiny! No idea what they were for one is 1936 the other 1940 the latter with a KM Waffen-Amt Mark. I have tried to hi-lite where the markings are as they remain uncleaned.

They are 75cm high and I recon 105mm caliber.

The top marking is a P over C/33.

Do any of you ammo buffs have any ideas?:)

Jock

WH Veterinary Tunic and cap !

Hello all,

I was lucky with this nice tunic, and cap...[/g] :top:






3.7cm Flack 18 case

Guys,

Got this before my mate started polishing it up.

I can make out 3.7cm flak 18 along the bottom.

There are what I assume are extractor marks at the 9 oclock, the number 14 at the 12-o-clock and 1939 at the 3-o-clock. Above the flack 18 is a 4 digit number (6348) with a star after it. At the 5-o-clock is a Heers Waffen-ampt mark.
