Two more from me. J-

Vati in this case is Generalmajor Hans von Weech. J-

Hi Rick, Here are a few from me, hope you enjoy. Best, J-

Post war reproduction (and I mean well after WWII). J-

When I say that eBay doesn’t vet items, I mean that they don’t assess originality or value. Again, it’s just an online platform for a (mostly) open marketplace. TR items are monitored because the are one of the type of items that violate policy. Otherwise most of the policing is done by buyers and sellers themselves in the form of feedback and ratings. As with anything else, we as buyers just need to know what we’re buying! 👍 J-

Hi Graf, Of course not! But eBay is simply an online selling platform, it’s not their responsibility to vet pieces as advertised. J-

There’s so much trash on eBay in the TWM space it’s laughable. This piece is a one-looker repro. J-

Hi Demir, The first and third examples you are sharing here appear to be the same. I have a Zimmerman 1914 EK1 with that same pin design. J-

Demir - Why don’t you just refer to the German & Austrian versions as period upgrades? That’s what they are and there’s no mention of copies or replicas in that description which would be a misnomer, I think. J-

It’s probably just a jewelers branded box that was used to house any variety of items that were available for purchase at the shop. J-

That is amazing Daniel! ? J-

Hi Claudio, Yes, the uniform looks like a tropical tan configuration. Best regards, Jason

That is a very nice oil portrait, the artist was skilled. Without commenting on the ID itself - those who have contributed thus far are supremely knowledgeable on the subject - just because an award was earned doesn’t mean it was always worn, or worn for every occasion. And besides, the portrait cuts off just below the bottom of the pocket anyway. It could have easily been worn below that if/when worn. Thanks for sharing the portrait! J-

Nicolas, Utgard, and Claudio - thank you so much for your kind words! ? Claudius - correct. I’ll try and post others under their respective sections when time permits. J-
