Hi, guys. My dad saw these at an auction and was curious if they were any good. Supposedly they are all original, however they look pretty new to me. There are so many and with no reverses shown so I have no idea and maybe it's a mixed bag. They look like mostly Kriegsmarine and Heer patches. Unfortunately this is the only photo he could get before the auction tomorrow. Any thoughts on this lot or what he should pay if they're good?
Thanks,
Adam

Thought id share this interesting Vietnam War grouping. The medals, badges and the patch were found pinned to an American flag during the Vietnam Veterans Against The War protests. The flag was one of a great many left outside the Whitehouse during this period of unease. A message written on the flag read "Vietnam veterans against the war-SGT J Wilson 169th Infantry Brigade"! The awards here include the National Defence, Vietnam Service, Rep South Vietnam Service and bar, Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Joint Services Commendation medals. Badges inc the Combat Medic, Helicopter Assault and cant remember now what the blue enammelled one is for! There is also a 169th Infantry badge and cloth patch. These were i was told obtained by a collector in France who also had the flag, but sadly i dont have this either. These items were just an example of the many hundreds handed in or abandonned at various US government institutions during the Anti War protests. Very attractive medal group all the same!
I think that I have to share them with you all. I hope you’ll enjoy.
Best regards from Spain.

Sirs.
I want to ask if someone has a period combat pictures where the Totenkopf and other divisions use non regular at this time old type cufftitles as a Brandenburg, Obebayern with lettering type, etc cufftitles in combat during 1940-45 year?
I have seen some pictures of the early numbered tabs and old type Brandenburg cufftitle which was a bunker recovered in the mid of 1980's in the Novgorod area, but that would be interesting to see period pictures
