Need help! Pour le Mérite - Too good to be true!

Hi, new user here, I just want to have some experts give their opinion on this supposedly real Pour Le Mérite, IMO it’s too cheap (and since it’s listed at eBay the danger is real XD):
https://www.ebay.com/itm/142044363208
I can’t post the pics here as I am using a mobile.
Hope y’all can help!
Thanks!

Treasure Trove of Luftschutz Educational Slides

I am not sure if this is the best place to post this please let me who where to move it to if it needs moving
I purchased these last month.
It is several parts of educational slides for Luftshutz and related groups
Each box is mint inside, holds instruction book and celluloid slides.
These topics range from firefighting to how to camouflage who towns from air attack.
These each box is an exhaustive study in each subject.
A book accompanies the slides.
From my basic count there is over 1000 slides here.
There are so many interesting pics I will try to choose some of my favs from each, however its hard to choose with so much great content.
These definitely have pictures/slides that have not been seen anywhere else.
These are going to be a fantastic reference set.
I will be posting pics as I go along. I had to get this base email down otherwise i am going to probably never sort them:)
Has anyone seen these before?
Thanks in advance with your patience as I upload these really interesting Images

If you need to protect you livestock from air attack or need to move them to a safe place- I have slides for that

Want to know how to put out incendiary munitions-I have slides for that

Want to know how to protect your building from Ariel bombing shrapnel I have slide for that

Want to learn how to make your town or position nearly impossible to see from a plane I have a slides for that

wide ranging interesting topics

I put a basic layout of what comes in a box-

This is surely going to be a large project to sort through

How rare is a Puma Boot Knife marked Patronenheber MG 34?

Hi all! I recently acquired a number of items from the estate of a gentleman who served in the US Army during WW11, among the items was a Puma Boot Knife that had several tools in the handle including a corkscrew, awl, can opener and lastly a tool marked Patronenheber MG 34 that apparently is a broken shell extractor. It has wood grips and due to condition appears to never have been used or resharpened. I have found numerous examples on the web of similar puma knives with tools but not finding any examples with the shell extractor. Might keep it for now, just wondering how rare this is and it’s approximate value. Will try to post some pictures of it, once I figure out how to do it. Thanks
