Welcome to the forum. You remind me of how i started collecting too. First you spend 20-30 euros and before you know it you start buying items for 1000+

I know! Ill be getting divorced soon lol !
Is there any particular site or place to safely and hopefully cheaply buy medals ?

You can check the classifieds section of the forum.
Also Klaus Butchek, who is also a forum sponsor, has nice stuff. Here is the link.

Hi, Your best bet is to keep an eye on the classifieds here, There are also other sites such as Wehrmacht awards forum and German combat awards that have for sale sections. If you keep an eye on these you can often pick up a bargain

I can personally recommend Germanwarbooty.com, Sammlermarkt-Nord, Helmut Weitze, KaiWinkler House of History, PhilippMilitaria...
Welcome and best of luck with your collecting...
cheers, Glenn

These are 1957 reissues of the award, if you notice there is no swastika this was so WW2 vets could still wear their medals in public, as displaying the swastika was illegal in post war Germany. How much is the dealer asking because these are not as valuable as the war time issue. Welcome to the forum too!...

It's an auction no wonder the price was low, I bought a 1941/42 issue last week but its not in great condition ! I might give it a miss and buy a better quality 41/42 medal thanks
