National Medal Of Honor Day

For those who may not know, today is National Medal of Honor day.

ORIGINAL or FAKE??:1/JNF.ERS.BTL.170

Hi all again:
I want to buy this Erkennungsmarke: 1/JNF. ERS. BTL. 170 Nr.996 Blood type: A
I have some doubts: Printing is a little irregular. The letter J is a bit strange and different from the other letters. Blood Type is stamping 4 times and very deep.
I don´t have a better quality picture, this photo is sent by the seller
I buy it, in a Forum of WW2 Erkennungsmarke, but make sure
Original or Fake? What do you think?
Thanks for your help
A greeting.

The Capac liner ( late war) is as you can see, pretty rough, to say the least, and the paint finish is probably not original, but Hey, I love em this way, got good used as been there,look to it.cool militaria

Demjansk Shield Real or Fake Please Help

Hi there,
The person I got this from is someone I trust but I still want to double check to see if it is fake or not because I am not certain about the back of the shield. Also, I got this for $315, is that a good price? what do these go for? I have another couple of weeks to return it but I just can't make up my mind. If you look at the eagle's head it has a defect, a crack/hole when you look at it from an angle.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you very much,
Steve

Question Which part?

This picture is of a man that has appeared twice before on the forums. You can find the other pics under a) German hats section
and b) Nazi uniforms...

This is obviously a Soviet uniform,but I would like to find out which area he would have been serving in.

I do know a little about his past...but not much.

Just trying to make Ade's brain work...hope he likes a good mystery. lol ;)

1st pattern luftwaffe dagger for discussion

Hey gang.....I currently have this dagger up for sale in the "for sale" section. A new member decided to post that he thought it was a fake....Anyways, communication went downhill REAL fast...perhaps I overreacted with his comments - perhaps he was unaware that we should start up a thread like this to discuss it instead of going full out and "smelling a fake" (or something like that).

SO - all that said - Here's an unmarked 1st pattern that I acquired from Paul H. over at Lakesidetrader a few years back. I have since added an original portepee that was also acquired from Paul.

If his description of the dagger is required - I still have it, along with his pics of the dagger. But, for now, I'll post what I have.

I'd like to know why someone would consider this a reproduction? :o(

Cheers!

Rob
