We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.
It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.

I remember a famous photo taken a day or so after the fall of Berlin of two Soviet soldiers sitting amidst a huge pile of boxed Crosses on the steps of the Reichs Chancellory... Probably a few thousand of them of more....

I know the photo you're referring to, the awards strewn on the steps were 25 year Treue Dienste Awards along with their cases...
cheers, Glenn

And then...you also have the Field made RK's-such as the U-Boat awards while at sea. Are these awards considered legitimate? They certainly were considered so by the Crew members...

wow guys loads of good info, so i take it these are highly faked
would be nice if you could buy one with issue papers and stuff to prove who owned it, but then you would be looking at £3000 lol

For interest, and possibly the chagrin of modern day collectors
a cased set of Oaks & Swords was RM 9, plain Oakleaves were RM 6,35 a cased DKiG was RM15 and a cased DKiS was RM13. These were the prices as of the end of 1942.
Those were the days.....
