Re: EK 2 mm128 Real or Fake?
Thanks Stewy. How long have you been collecting?
Re: EK 2 mm128 Real or Fake?
IR 90 was part of 20 Infanterie Division until 1943, the doc appears to have the signature of Divisional commander General Hans ZORN although i cannot confirm the signature. I;m not sure why the doc has two signatures and i cannot read anything on the stamp apart from Feldpostnummer which is strange as it should have a Div stamp ?

As Paul says part of the 20. Inf reg (mot) part of Army group North. I'm with you Paul 2nd sig. is odd,but not unheard of. The stamp phases me a bit too. Stewy S

Hi Doomula,
There's nothing wrong with that cross, except what looks like a bad re-paint. From what I can see in your pictures I would say it is a genuine wartime example. Jablonski crosses are frequently known to have distressed paint work, so maybe someone at some stage tried to 'tidy' it up.

Re: EK 2 mm128 Real or Fake?
Thanks Danny you helped me find a couple fakes before. Glad you could help me find a real one.
Re: EK 2 mm128 Real or Fake?
Danny are you good with documents? Did the one I post look real?
Re: EK 2 mm128 Real or Fake?
Sorry, can't help you there, I have no experience with them at all, and very little with packets either.by Doomula5000
