Heer Buckle by Dr. F & Co. 1940: Authentic Buckle?

Hey, guys. My friend asked what I thought of this Heer buckle he saw and wanted to buy so I thought I'd check it out with you all. I don't have my Angolia book on me and I can't remember other Dr. F & Co. heer buckles I may have seen with which to compare this one to as far as the eagle, ears, catch, feet, etc. I think it was going for $75. Can anyone give my buddy and I am thumbs up or down on this one?

Thanks, all cool militaria
Best,
Adam

NSDAP Party Pin: Oirignal? Early Example?

Hi, all. This pin was being offered for $50 which seemed like a decent price if good. The RZM markings look okay to me, but I just wanted to check it out…don’t know about the pin assembly. The seller also claims it’s an earlier party badge and I’m curious if this is true and what would indicate this (and conversely what might indicate "older")

Thanks for any help or opinions.
Best,
Adam

Need help! Boxed Mutter Kreuz in Gold w/Pin & Catch: Authentic Variant Piece?

Hey, guys. I recently saw this for sale for $60 and was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it as I haven’t come across one until now. From the looks of it, it appears to be good (to my novice eyes) but then there is the pin/catch on the back. My friend thought he saw an example like this in a book where it was discussed as a variant so as to be worn as a woman’s brooch. Is this accurate and is this an authentic piece/authentic period variant? If an all-around good piece it seems that $50 would be a good price.

Thanks for any help or opinions!
Best,
Adam

Repro M1 Short Bayonet

G'Day All,

Here's a scary repro I obtained yesterday. I have it compered to my M42. Once aged, it could be a little tricky to pick!

Pointers to note on identifying this repro to a genuine one
- flick the grip with your finger and it should not have a hollow sound

-spring catch tension should be firm

I'm not a pro on US bayonets but thought I'd post this for reference :)

Need help! Pioneer Soldbuch Help

I just bought this soldbuch from WAF member REDVIPER--Thomas.

I have a few questions about it:

1) Why are the awards entered on page 22 out of order??? (dates are mixed) It KVKII 13-1-1941, Schutzwall Azbeichen 13-1-1941, Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silver 27-9-1944, Ost. Medal 31-8-1942, Wound badge in black sometime in 1942. This is the order they are written in in the soldbuch, why is it like this (dates are not in chronological order)?? I hope this doesn't mean its a replacement issue.

2) Same thing with page 21

3) Why is each stamp on the photo-cover doubled. Luckily, a plus is that the unit on the stamp matches the one inside the book, and the staples have made marks on the 1st page of the soldbuch. (which means that it has been with the book for a while)

I am almost 100% sure this is not a replacement issue, can any of you tell me your opinions?

If there is anything else that is wrong with it, please tell me.

Thanks,
Swayne Martin cool militaria
