Grandpa's Silver CCC
stewy replied to Uffz. Rohleder's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
It's an NKS unknown maker #1. Sometimes called the "six dot" due to the back plate fixing. Stewy -
WW2 bring back collection
stewy replied to Yorkstone's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Nice original JFS ISA in silver, not seen as often as the mint bronze variants from the hoard find some years ago. Stewy -
Silver Wound Badge - original or fake?
stewy replied to Hauptmann's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
The catch looks a bit like one seen on fake PKA's. I hope I'm wrong but for me there are a lot of red flags. Stewy -
Silver Wound Badge - original or fake?
stewy replied to Hauptmann's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Hi Dan, I tend to think it is a replica. It doesn't look quite right for a die stamped award. Not a crisp enough strike, no shear marks around the edge in the pics. I'm not a WB expert (ISA's are my thing), but the wear points are odd & the dagger blades are fuzzy. Better pics when available will help. Stewy -
An unusual Antrag printed on the reverse of an ISA doc. Signed by Major Friedrich Zietlow (DKiG 19.12.41). Stewy

Kev (hucks216) knows of a KVK doc to a Schneepflug soldier, but other than that nothing. So rare & unusual IMO. Stewy -

Thanks Jock. I've got another group to Art. Reg 146, that didn't anywhere near as bad as this. I'll have to get round to posting it. Stewy -

Mmm.... Yes indeed Jock. Not what you'd expect. Although, it was more common in Afrika than elsewhere. Kind regards, Stewy -

Silver wound badge MM100
stewy replied to Jock Auld's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Always nice to see a 100 SWB, Jock. Condition's not the best, but still. Congrats, Stewy -
Thanks Jason, they're rarer & less faked than the silvers. There's at least two different finishes on these. The flat finish which this is & a lighter bronze shinier finish. Stewy

Strange Wound Badge
stewy replied to BalkanCollector's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Sorry, I must agree with Jock. A cast fake & a poor attempt to boot. Stewy -
