Thank you for your comment. Now I'm sure. Have a nice day.

Hi guys,

Can somebody recognize this cross. I think it was unofficial patriotic ithem.

Dear users,

Can you help me to recognize what is this badge? It's probably Imperial Russia but I'm not sure. Sorry for low quality.

Best regards

This appears to be a colorized photo.  The medal bar is straight forward enough and they got the ribbon color correct too.

from L-R;

1) Order of St. Anne w/o swords 3rd class

2) Order of St. Stanislaus w/o swords 3rd class

3) Commemorative for 300 years of Romanov dynasty

 

The badges and pins will take a little more examination, maybe a close up too.

 

The badge on his left pocket;

After examining it closer, I think it might be for the Technical Institute of Peter the Great. 

 

The color should be bronze gilt, however I don't know if it also came in silver.

Thank you very much!

To all Gentleman's,

I wish to ask for proper name in English and German of the third cross on picture below after Iron Cross.

Best regards

Dear gentleman's,

Can I ask you for all the medals and orders visible on this picture. I need to know all names in English. 

Thank you very much

Thank you, mate

That's what I suppose. Thank you for confirmation.  

It looks genuine but no swastika. The owner says it was founded in Poland. IT can't be west german after the denzified. Or version after 1957. It looks like from the war period.

It's Sturminfanterieabzeichen.

Do you think it's original?

I know, Simon...

Better to know what you have in your collection than one day trying to do a trade, or sell items to purchase something else only to be told that they are worthless.  Believe me, every collector has a box somewhere that holds their mistakes...myself included.

Fakers have been around since time immemorial, this is why we collectors need to know our preferred interest inside out....and it's with thanks to people like Nick who start sites like ' The Gentleman's Interest Club' that give us a chance pass on experience to other collectors in the hope that they will not make the same mistakes....

Rule 1...If you are thinking of purchasing an item, ask for clear pictures and post them on the forum for opinions.  Thank goodness for the Internet.

 

Thank you so much.

Internet is a bless for collectors. It's so nice to have help with such nice people like on this forum. This badge I know from about 1994 when I saw it on market in Gdańsk, city in Poland. German Danzig. And I buy it from this collector in 2010! Amazing. Isn't it? I love this badge so much and when I recognize that this guy still got it I buy it. It looks really good. 

Internet is great tool.

Warmest regards

Simon

You make me upset with this one. It looks very convincing. Sharp details. Not good... But thank you so much. 

Dear Laurentis,

I'm so happy to speak with so many nice, kind and wellknowing people. I appreciate a lot. Thank you a lot!

Hi guys! What do you think about this one?

It's very easy to judge like this. Why do you think it's a fake? Do you have literature about it? 

Thank you for opinion and attention. I'm also not sure. 

That's why I maked photo of catch. It is an original. Thank you for professional opinion.  

Hello everybody,

I wish to present nice badge from the war. Can you recognize the maker?

Best regards

Simon

Hi Folks!

Is it genuine? What do you think?

Maker number is L/12

Best regards

Simon

Hi Folks!

What do you think about this Wound Badge? It's Gold Class and rare maker.

What do you think about my FLL Badge? It is exactly like experts book saying.

It's true. You are right. Very wise words. I say exactly the same. Socrates said one day: 'I know I don't know nothing'. It's important to be humble and dig the knowledge all life. 

You are very kind. Thank you so much.

Simon

Thank you very much. I appreciate strongly such great and kind comment. I see I speak with an expert. Very good!

I bought it from eMedals. I have also the certificate from them. So I believe it's from the war. But the fact is I have also a book of Stephan Previtera German Luftwaffe Badges. volume 2. And there are lot's of high quality pictures of many badges and valuable info's. Interesting is Previtera say that S&L wasn't in his opinion a maker of Paratrooper Badge. So that was strange for me. But eMedals is a very good supplier from other side.
