Sad to say, even this common Third Reich award has been faked. This one is made of a shiny silver-colored metal. The detail is not as good as a real one. It's cast, though it's a good casting. The suspension ring is unmarked. The ribbon lights up like a Christmas tree under blacklight, and is very "slick" and doesn't feel like original ribbons. The biggest giveaway is that it's too small in diameter. Best, Greg [attachmentid=57894][attachmentid=57895]

Hi Jan Arne, Thanks for showing your latest RRS; that's the only other one I've seen where it looks like the eagle has no claws, and the bottom arm of the swastika ends abruptly at the top edge of the turret (like this one). And you know I love the hollow Hymmen! Best, Greg [attachmentid=57268][attachmentid=57269]

For your interest, a website on the Tiger IIs of schwere SS-PanzerAbteilung 501, attached to Kampfgruppe Peiper during the Ardennes Offensive. All comments welcome! Best, Greg Tigers in the Ardennes

Here is a porcelain table medal from Gau Bayerische Ostmark - I assume for the 1936 Gau meeting in Bayreuth. How common are porcelain table medals? I saw one from Berlin recently on WA forum. Several of the Bayerische Ostmark "tinnies" were porcelain (the eastern part of the Gau was a porcelain manufacturing center), but I haven't seen many table medals.

There was a two-volume edition of Mein Kampf described as the "Geschenkausgabe" (gift edition) that came in a shipping/storage box, of cardboard. Does anyone have one with the box intact, and if so, please post it. Here is my 1937 edition ... this is the more expensive Halbleder version (the other version was simply clothbound) ... but I don't have the box. Thanks, Greg [attachmentid=39839]
