lew Posted January 12 Posted January 12 No fantasy but still a fake TWM with wreath, rather common nowadays.
Giannis S. Posted January 12 Posted January 12 The same seller has listed several items that cannot be classified as originals.
Stogieman Posted January 12 Author Posted January 12 Now at $202.50. I really feel bad for the people who don’t do the homework on what they collect
VtwinVince Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Hmm, I've never seen this TWM with wreath being worn, who were the alleged recipients of this thing?

This Question was asked and answered in the WAF thread of which I provided a screenshot. It is to be presumed a interwar piece, for people with a bigger purse.There is also an example shown there without wreath but with different colors, which is to be presumed for the same period and purpose.
VtwinVince Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Alright, screenshots are pretty hard to read, and I don't place much stock in what happens at WAF. Anyway, let me reiterate, in 50 years of collecting I've never seen a period photograph of this thing in wear. Someone please produce the photographic evidence, otherwise.....
Bernd_W Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) The screenshot has a far high resolution, if you save it to your computer and zoom in, its easy to read. Im not interested in this badge or in proving this badge is period or not, not today and not in 50 years. I provided a source of what TWM experts thinks about this badge. If you are interested in this kind of TWM you should contact BrianL. He is also a user here:https://gmic.co.uk/profile/12700-bolewts58/ And ask him in what book its shown. Or you ask Demir, I guess he is the moderator Demir here, and ask him in what of his books its shown. Perhaps you will find a period photograph there, or Demir can provide one. https://gmic.co.uk/profile/4190-demir/ I recommend you to ask bolewts58/ first because Demirs last visit here seems to be a couple month ago. Here are some easy to read (I hope so. Did my best) screenshots with the most important posts in the thread: Edit: Checked the screenshots. If its still hard to read, it will help saving them to your computer and zoom in. Its more easy to read. Edit: The forum seems to resize the pictures, its still hard to read if you save them to your computer. Here a full resolution ones, easy to read at this page: https://imgur.com/a/btKUXFV https://imgur.com/a/0xzAAo3 Edited January 13 by Bernd_W

VtwinVince Posted January 17 Posted January 17 To the crusher with that monstrosity. How many times have we seen these spurious Fliegertruppe engravings?

Stogieman Posted January 28 Author Posted January 28 Another 1870 “Grand Cross”, probably the fourth one this guy has sold. Seems to have a never-ending supply of these and “PLM”s, lol
Giannis S. Posted January 29 Posted January 29 At least she says that this is a museum/exhibition piece, made in the 40s or 50s.
VtwinVince Posted January 29 Posted January 29 I would say more likely made in Lithuania last week. 1

Stogieman Posted February 17 Author Posted February 17 It’s been awhile since one of these showed up but I believe this to be a copy
Stogieman Posted February 27 Author Posted February 27 And another “PLM”, allegedly by Juncker, currently at $635!
