Saw this wing being offered. It's approximately 70mm wide. Any opinions on the authenticity based on these two photos? Many thanks.

I believe so Paul -- it has the small, integral crown at the top favoring the type found on Condor Legion medal bars. The reverse has the full enamel.

Anybody here attend the SOS this week? I went Friday and Saturday and managed to find a couple of "smalls" for my collection. Would love to see what other people found!

Uwe, Thank you for your reply and examples - very helpful. Scott

Thank you for your replies, gentlemen.

I've put a German Luftwaffe Beer Stein up for opinions in the members valuation/discussion area; the stein (if authentic) is likely from the mid-late 1930s (photo below). The design has the following wording around the central motif, "Unteroffizier Corps der hoheren Stabe im Luftkries IV". A couple of experienced collectors advised me the spelling of "Corps" (vs. Korps) should be cause for concern, while a couple of other experienced collectors in another forum told me the spelling of "Corps" (with a "C") is not unheard of for the period. I'd be interested to hear other opinions on the spelling of Corps vs. Korps in the context of a LW-themed beer stein from the mid-late 1930s. Thanks!

Very nice!

Thank you Francisco!

And if you don't have medal bar, just wear something else there instead!

Here's a bar in reverse order...

Approximately 90mm/3.5 inches wide, 4 prong reverse. I believe this is a Spanish Nationalist wing from the SCW era. Is this a cap badge? Comments welcome!

I spotted this on the web: A Spanish postcard with what appears to be a caricature of a German volunteer from the Spanish Civil War. Or perhaps I'm completely wrong? Opinions welcome.

Nice!

I think that pretty much sums it up.

Fantastic finds - congratulations!

Yes, please do! :cheers:

Nice example VFMR - it has the "hinged" suspension ring. Does the case have any exterior markings?

Wow - those are some great birds! :love:

Thank you Dolfek. Do you know the time period these medals were minted?

I found this while surfing the web. My assumtion is a civilian or veteran commemortive medal of some sort. Anyone know for sure what it is?

Looks like the guy standing second from right is wearing a Luftwaffe EM belt buckle. First time I've seen that.

A very nice cross by Meybauer :cheers:

Another beauty Tom. Upgrading my worn, round-pin 30 for a nice wide-pin 30 is on my "to-do" list. :cheers:

Wow Tom, that's a beauty. Congratulations!

I think your cross is authentic. I've seen the "P" mark under the hinge of other crosses deemed authentic on this forum, but I don't recall if there was an explanation for it. I think this forum's moderators are on holiday as I've not seen them comment in quite a while.
