A.Hitler Medal

[Benas]

Hello,

my last purchase is Adolf Hitler medal. Please look scans.

Anyone know in which country (Germany, Austria, other...) and in which year this medal was mint???

Thank you very much!

It is a post war medal so I don?t think it was made in Germany or Austria.

Likely made in USA, probably for the skinhead / Hitler fan club market. I think there is a Rommel one as well I've seen on eBay or ePier.

I received one of these in gold finish in 1980 from my aunt in Germany.

She got it at a flea market there.

Wishful thinking to see Rommels half-track near the pyramids

Also from the same seller:

Here is a gold one, just have to laugh at a 19914 dated Iron Cross topped off with oakleaves and swords

This seller seems to be a Rommel fan!

E-Bay junk makes me laugh.

E-Bay junk makes me laugh.

Or, maybe, just cry. As someone actually buys this dreck, believing they have something collectible and of any value at all.

Even though I am kind of new to the hobby I can see that this stuff is crap. A rule I learned from fellow collectors is rarely if never buy anything you can't touch or see for yourself. Or in this case, if it looks like junk it is junk. That is what this forum is for, educate and share.
