Would really like some expert help. I have accidentally come across something which I believe is from the first Austrian Republic. Could any of the members shed some light? Much thanks for any assistance.

Not really my field but I have a friend who has an interesting family heirloom. It is supposed to be a propaganda leaflet that was packed into V1 rockets (to be ejected before detonation). The paper appears to show extracts from British P.O.W.s in German internment camps. Its the usual, 'the Germans are treating us very well' kind of stuff. Just wondered if anyone had come across such items. He has an associated story about Military Police etc offering civilians sums of money if they handed them over (and so supressing the propaganda). Any info would be useful. Thanks

Many thanks for your reply

Any Romanian interwar period collectors available to cast their eye over this medal and certificate? Came in a large container of Soviet medals and I have no idea if its genuine or not? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

That is absolutely brilliant, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very, vey much.

Would like to know (if there exists) a guide to Soviet era mint marks. A few of the badge / locking disc ones have me stumped. Any information would be gratefully received. Thank you

Thank you very much for your photograph. That is very interesting. The only other medal I have seen had a different ribbon on it.

40th Anniversary medal (1894-1934). Mount is missing. Weighs 15.6g . I can see that it was manufactured at the Belgrade Mint and that it is celebrating the agricultural cooperatives. I have seen one other example which sold some time ago on emedals.com but can find out virtually nothing about the medal including how many were made and who they were given to. Any help please.
