Hi Bill, Thank you for all the information, it certainly is a minefield out there with all the 3rd Reich stuff. Best wishes, Mike.

Hi Jock, Thanks for that, yes I like it too. Best wishes, Mike.

Hi Bill Thank you for the information, like you say they seem of high quality I will have a look at the sites you mention. Best wishes Mike

Hi Jock Many thanks for the reply and the scan, at last I have seen another one! Best wishes Mike

Hi Mike, You hit the nail on the head, fake papers and all. Has anyone here heard of Thomas Hoff (Historisches Militaria) who the papers are from. Best wishes, Mike.

Hi ekhunter, Many thanks for the advice, will have a look. Best wishes, Mike.

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply, yes I was a novice back then, I trusted the dealer and got caught. It would be nice to name and shame as I have heard bad reports about him recently, but I suppose that would bring legal action against me, cest la vie! Best wishes, Mike.

HI ekhunter, Thank you for your reply, it is not nice to know what you have is not what it should be but i like to know what is right or wrong, that is why I asked all you experts. Many thanks Best wishes Mike

Hi Alex Thanks for the replies and the information, I look forward to hearing what all you learned guys think. Best wishes Mike

Hi Guys, I acquired this cross many years ago but have no idea if it is good or bad. Your expert advice would be most welcome. Mike.

Hi Gordon, Thanks for the welcome. It is frightening the amount of good fakes around today, when I put my bits together years ago prices were a lot cheaper so if one made a mistake it didn't hurt so much. My collecting is on hold for now as I am renovating our property, but if something turns up at the right price I will certainly ask you guys what you think before I buy. Best wishes, Mike.

Hi Gordon, Many thanks for your reply, as I said I picked this up a long time ago and have never seen a picture of it anywhere, your advice is much appreciated. I have some other German medals, mainly Iron Crosses from years ago which I will post in the relevant section for all your expert advice. This is an excellent forum, the first I have ever joined and this was my first post so I hope I got everything correct. I hope as I go along if I make any mistakes that you gentlemen will put me right. Thanks again, Mike.

Hi Guys, Could anyone please identify this badge. I picked it up many years ago with other bits and pieces but cannot find reference to it anywhere. I would much appreciate your experienced help as to whether it is genuine or not and what it may be worth. As this is my first post I hope I am in the right place and that the scans are okay. Many thanks, Mike.
