Need help! WW2 US Army Bag

Hello all, I’m not too familiar with this field of items; however, this US army bag caught my eye recently. I was wondering if there is any definitive way to tie this bag to WW2, as I’m far from an expert in these items. Any help/info is much appreciated! cool militaria

Verwundetenabzeichen 1939 in Silber, 92, Josef Rücker & Sohn, Gablonz

Another silver wound badge added to my collection recently. :)
These are not rare but are not seen available often. This example has a short block hinge and a flat plate catch soldered into an indentation in the reverse of the badge. It also retains most of it’s silver wash.

US Jump boots - help authenticate

Hey guys,

I picked up a pair or what was advertised as ww2 paratrooper boots. They were a nice couple and the gentleman told me they were his neighbors from when he was younger. Said he was a paratrooper in the war and got banged up and never married or had kids. He said he gave them to him when he moved. They are also selling a very nice Luftwaffe winter flight helmet so they at least know a bit about the stuff. From the research I have done they meet all the standards of the Corcoran jump boots besides having a date stamped in them. Clearly you can see March 5th 1943 stamped on the inside wall of one boot. Inside both are marked 8 1/2 C where the insert would go. Just curious if you guys could give me any help on authenticating them. I wont be surprised if they are just reproductions all beat up. Any help is appreciated! Not sure how to rotate the photos, sorry about that.

I think this was used by an instructor or trainer? I do not know why there are written letters on the reverse.

Hello.
I received this Feldspnge today.
1. Does not glow under the UV lamp.
2. Devices non-magnetic, are two different ones.
3. Mounting plate not magnetic.

I think it’s a copy,but I like to hear more opinions.
As always, every opinion is welcome.
Thanks
Regards, Jannis.
