Re: Luftschutz and Adler
Hi Datrus, sorry but the two medals are cast reproductions. The photo from the back of the Adler makes me believe it is made from the same alloy as the medals with premature aging.
Take care,
Jay

Re: Luftschutz and Adler
Thank you very much for the quick reply mate. Have not payed anything for it so it goes back. What is the eagle, i mean the originals?

Re: Luftschutz and Adler
In my opinion it is not original. It looks like a piece that someone cast and then made the front look older than it is. The eagle looks like it has been cast from the same material as the reproduction medals. Hope that helps.

Re: Luftschutz and Adler
Yes i absolutely understand that. I just meant what the Adler, if it was original was would have been used for. Sorry if i was not formulating myself correctly.

Re: Luftschutz and Adler
The eagle looks to be styled after some type of combat badge
or other - like the General Assault badge, etc.........

Re: Luftschutz and Adler
The Luftschutz medal on the right is a definite fake, poorly cast, soft details and smaller than the medal on the left. I don't know about this one so will defer to others more knowledgeable. The eagle I have no idea about. I don't like it and can't think what it might be for, the proportions are wrong and I can't believe an item such as this would be an officially sanctioned piece.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....

Re: Luftschutz and Adler
I agree both Luftschutz are cast fakes. The one on the left is better but lacks the finer detail IMO
