Need help! NSDAP visor help

This is way out of my comfort zone and I feel I may receive a scolding for something obviously wrong with it. This came up for sale on the Facebook market place( yes Ik not a reliable place) and was recommended to me. Relatively close. I had a look at a few thread for similar visors and I thought it looked similar enough to warrant me making a thread. Pictures I will admit, may not be detailed enough . Here they are. I feel it Has convincing patina. But I have seen all the threads about fake aging . Thanks for the help in advance

Medailles für Treue Dienste in den bewaffneten Organen des Ministeriums des Innern

Good evening all,

Besides the Third Reich I also like to collect DDR items and I wanted to share my Medailles für Treue Dienste in den bewaffneten Organen des Ministeriums des Innern. These medals were awarded for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 ‘Treue Dienste’.

I have the 20, 25 and 30 Jahre Treue Dienste medailles in there original cases. Maybe I’m picky but I only buy them when they are complete with the case.
Now I will go and look for the 5, 10 and 15 year medals to complete the set.

Regards, Rik

My latest Third Reich period books

Good evening all,

Two weeks ago I went on a small city trip to Kleve Germany and I found some Third Reich period books in one of the bookstores. Nothing special but still nice period additions to my collection I wanted to share. The Werk und Mensch book is in great condition and there are some nice photographs in there.

The book Der sieg im Osten I couldn’t find much information on, so maybe on of our members knows this book and could tell me more about it.

And then there is the small booklet Der Kilometerstein. It is, if I’m correct, a book with marching songs with not only the text but also the musical notes.

If anyone wants to see the inside of the books, just ask and I can more pictures.

Regards, Rik

A German Third Reich second pattern Luftwaffe offcers’ dagger - Opinions

Hi All

Looking for my first militaria purchase and this dagger has caught my eye. It is listed as a German Third Reich second pattern Luftwaffe officers’ dagger by Alcosa. I have had a look at pictures of others but they all seem in better condition so hard to know if real.

Can anyone tell me if it is good and proper? The source it is available from I do trust to believe it is real.
