Kuban Shield
Avitas replied to Avitas's topic in Germany: Third Reich: State, Civil, NSDAP Awards & Decorations
Thanks guys, I purchased it from a store with no refunds, and the other two items I picked up there were good, so I guess you just never know. Luckily, I only paid $40 Cdn (about 20 British pounds), so I guess it's just a high priced repro... P.S. I have had fairly good results (besides some TR badges and a few SS items being bogus) so it kind of eases the pain a little. If anyone would like to lend some opinions to my other items I recently posted mainly in TR General Awards and in the various TR equipment and insignia forums for the kriegsmarine, heer, and lufwaffe. All of the help I have received so far has been invaluable and I hope to contribute more to the site as my knowledge increases. I must say, i should go with my gut feelings from now on because most of my suspicions were true, so i guess that's a good sign to help with future purchases (not to mention posting new items for discussion before buying). Thanks again, Pat -
Hi all, Just thought I'd put a few of my stickpins up for discussion. I have a couple I am not sure of and a couple I think are good, so here we go. First up is a 1940 Stickpin that I think is for a sports organization, but not quite sure. It has lost most of its original finish but maintains the enamel swaztika in the center. Any ideas on the originality and purpose of this stickpin? Thanks, Pat

Here is a nice little 1914 ek2 ribbon bar to go with my ek2's. I am not sure what the other ribbon is though, any help is great. Pat -

ANy ideas on originality and if it is an SA badge? I will post more SA badges here as I receive tehm. All responses are hugely appreciated with all my posts. Thanks, Pat

Kuban Shield
Avitas posted a topic in Germany: Third Reich: State, Civil, NSDAP Awards & Decorations
Hello again, I purchased this shield last fall and it is my first shield. I was told all three prong Kuban shields were fakes, is this true? Mine is made of copper, stamped, with a funny eagle on the top. It is 53mm x 63mm. Any ideas on its originality? Thanks, Pat -
Hi all, I have here a Luftwaffe metal insignia of some sort, and I was wondering about its originality. It is 72 mm wingspan and appears to be either a chest eagle or an award of some kind. You don't see many of these around and I would like to know more about it. Is it an original piece or a fantasy piece? All info is great, Thanks, Pat
