I bought a pile of items today and the grouping is definitely centered on the battle of Rorke’s Drift. My years of collecting tell me this is most likely a bag of reproduction insignia. I am pretty far out of my knowledge on these pieces but it was a can’t lose price even if it’s all fake. I know better photos will be needed but I’m just wondering if there is anything here that looks to be period.

Her is the MVK photo from the auction. The description. There does not seem to be a ribbon loop in the photo so that detail matches. Was it ever fashion in Bavaria to have medals guilted? I can’t tell you how many gold FAM’s I have from or have seen from Saxony and I’m sure they are all awarded as bronzes.

Anyone recognize this piece?

Thank you sir! It has the oak leaf and acorn motif of so many Freikorps pieces but then again it’s a German thing. -

This looks like a Freikorp collar tab piece except most I have seen are gold and this is silver. The back has that rainbow toning and it is not magnetic. I think it is silver. It is in a grouping from Württemberg and there are no Freikorps items present. Could this just be something you could sew to your shooting cap? I checked my sources and did not find a match.
