I found an online store based in Latvia with lots of supposedly original ww2 rings, selling for ~$60-$75. That sounds way too cheap for being an original. Is this iron cross ring original or fake?

Here are images of what I think is an interesting buckle and I wonder what the correct designation and description is?

There is an immediate association with Schalburg Korp, although some suggest Deutscher Pfadfinder and early NSDAP supporters. If my memory serves me correctly, I think that one of the reference books even has an image of an early SS man wearing a similar buckle!

I have seen this roundel set on different types of brass boxes, rather than a "common" style of box.

In addition, I have seen the roundel positioned in two ways. One with the swastika arms as vertical and horizontal and one, where the swastika arms are set at roughly 45 degrees. I wonder if there is some significance by this?

As always, any comments would be welcome.

Regards,

David

How should look the: Pilotka for Engineering Officer of the RKKA for II World War ?.

I really search on many web pages and books. And I can’t find the answer for my problem. Well the Engineering Officer Epaulets have the black endings.
So should the material star (under the officer’s star) should be black or maybe red ?.
And the endings on the top of the Pilotka, should be black or red ?.
This is my "Cerberus Maze". notcool

Help will be appreciated Yours Mario
