Totenkopf Ring - early fake, modern fake.. or the real deal?

Evening everyone,

Firstly i am new to the forum so apologies if i have posted in the wrong sectionnotcool

I have always wanted a totenkopf ring, wether it was real or fake i still wanted one, however a genuine one was preffered because of the history, past & alike behind the ring.

Recently i have managed to get my hands on one, however i am completely unsure on its origin, in my opinion it looks like an early fake. I know from reading other forums etc that even the un-official personell rings (reals ofcourse) in any condition go for mad money, i did not pay an other lot for mine so this leads to suspect she is a fake or good copy.

What makes me think it is an early fake is the condition of the ring, it is worn! scratched, and as if it has been dug up (dont get me wrong a few hours outside and in the shed and any ring can get this look) but it is not like any other repro i have seen on the net, the skull is very close to the genuine one used on tags etc and looks the part more than some repros, thats why i am thinking it is an earlier repro of better quality.

However i think i am better of leaving the guys with the real know to decide for me, please dont slag it off if you saw this for sale, i didnt pay over much and i am happy with it. And with fairness it is ten times nicer than the latvian repros on ebay at this current time.

So any ideas guys on any kind of origin or info?

Allegemeine Sturmabzeichen 25

Hello fellow collectors,
I’ve been offered this nice Allgemeine Sturmabzeichen 25. It looks ok to me, especially the back (because of the small "dents" in the metal).
What do you guys think?

Sincerely,
Kimo666

Question New collector of german Feldpost need some tips

Hi! As the thread title says, I'm a new collector of German feldpost and i am looking for some advice.

First of all, i bought a bunch of German feldpost and i want to know if there is any database on the internet where i can look up from what units these feldposts where sent from.

Also, do you know any good website "stores" and "ebay" sites where i can buy German feldpost? I am also interested in English field post (American, British, Canadian etc) and Swedish fältpost. So if you know any sites where i can get these as well, please tell :p

And, what is the value for a normal german feldpost? I heard someone say there was 30-40 billion German feldpost sent during the war! Why is it that the american field post is so insanly expensive? I was on ebay the other day and checked and tryed to bid, but every american field post from ww2 went for 100-200 dollars.

Is there many fake's? Any advices on detecting fakes is appreciated!

I have not had time to translate all my german feldpost. I bought about 30 feldposts, i will upload the letters translated when im done with it, if there is any intrest here from anyone to read them?

Thanks!
