The same guy who sold me the Flak tunic wants to sell me this SS cap. Should I assume this is fake too?

Hello,

I need a little help. Have here a Kreissieger badge and am not sure whether it is an original or fake part.
Thanks to those skilled in advance.

Hey guys,

Purchased this a few weeks back. A rather nice 1917 Enfield, that still has its original blu finish and escaped the Parkerizing of WWII. Has original ww1 barrel. High chance that is one did not see any service during ww1 as it dates to very late 1918. The cartouche is post-World War I to pre WWII or early WWII. All parts are correctly marked "E" for eddy stone.

I doubt that this one saw any service in WWII or very little. Judging on the condition.

Any one have any pictures of these being used in WWII by the Americans? I know they were also used by the philipinos, Chinese, English, French, Ect, Ect.

I have seen that picture with one of these being used state side for training. Apparently these were a very common training rifle.

You can still find these reasonably priced. Less than a 1903/03a3. Even though 3/4 of the AEF was armed with this style rifle in WW1.

Hello Friends,
We all know how tricky these are with fakes galore, some easily recognized and others not so easily dismissed…I felt comfortable going with my instinct on this one and was able to obtain it cheaply from a German Seller in Mainz along with the M42 Shell I posted…I would like to believe that it’s an original Shield as it displays the "appropriate crudeness" indicative of the Lorientschild…It certainly isn’t a run of the mill fake and matches well with the ones I’ve seen…
Any thoughts or opinions gentlemen - feel free to comment…
cheers, Glenn

Apologies for putting this in WW1 section but figured it was my best chance for feedback. Seller claims flag dates back to Boer War and it does have markings although I do not recognise them. Any help regarding what time period this dates from would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, nic.
