MG42 relic
Militaria and WW2 history forum and topsites. Sõja ajaloo portaal.
The main part of the badge is named to ‘TOBIE OJLZYZNO’ - unfortunately when I left Hamburg, like an idiot, I left my notes behind, so this name may not be 100% correct. The number also appears to be ‘1393′(?).
The pin/wreath badge is unmarked.
The securing nut is unmarked on either side.
The (detached) wreath and attaching ‘pad’ - has a mix of characters (to me, at least…) which appear to be ‘a07?’.
From memory, he also didn’t like the stamping impression.
The only problem I have, is that this was bought from a well established UK based dealer, who is (apparently) a member of the BABF.
Bearing in mind various negative comments made about some of the other items that I believed were genuine (from the same person) and have now turned out to be fakes, I am not exactly sure whether this falls into the same category or not?
Can anyone either vouch as to whether this is a fake/forgery/genuine - or help in any way. I could get it fixed but I am not sure whether its cost effective in doing so, and whether it should be scrapped or, sent back for a refund - which I am reluctant to do as someone else will get screwed over.
I would be grateful for any comments about this badge.
Many thanks and rgds, David
This is the top of my dresser in my room. I have some of my favorite German militaria on top of it for display. This is just a fraction of my collection, but the cream of the crop in my opinion. cool militaria
Here’s the rundown on this display:
Q64 single decal Heer M40, a no-decal ET68 M40 with a net, (The only original thing about this helmet is the shell. I refurbed the previously poorly painted shell myself.) a salty Heer EM/NCO’s private purchase signals visor cap, a 1938 Gebruder (Kugel & Fink?) Ludenscheid Heer buckle with 1938 dated tab, found on a political belt, unmarked 25-year service medal, ostfront medal, and mutterkreuz in bronze, matching fnj42 K98 bayonet, Heer breast eagle, unmarked minesweeper badge, pair of police meister shoulder boards, and a couple of fake silver wound badges for fillers.
For some reason or another, I don’t have any real wound badges in my collection. I’m waiting for a nice cased silver ‘30′ that I can afford.
Enjoy!
