Re: Mixed lot of Third Reich Items
To be honest I don't like any of the items. From what I can make up from the pictures they all look a bit iffy. Tag der Arbeit looks okay, but they are cheap. If a collector has fakes, I would double check all the other stuff. One fake in a collection can make a complete collection doubtable.

Ade, there is at least one TR period badge with this design. A WHW Tinnie.
Although, the first one posted is indeed a fantasy badge.

Re: Mixed lot of Third Reich Items
Hi Tom, that is correct, there is also a stick pin, but nothing enameled like that. The "Munich Maid" was a popular motif.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: Mixed lot of Third Reich Items
You haven't mentioned the ring in the last pic so I don't know if your going for that as well, but it's a fake too. It's got 'Gegen Engerland' on it with oakleaves and a twin engined aircraft right??

Yh that is what he said, nah i wouldn't buy any third reich rings as more often than not they are fakes so i don't even bother, but wow you sure know your rings =D
Thanks, Glen.
Re: Mixed lot of Third Reich Items
It's nearly Halloween so the 'Scream' character on this badge is quite appropriate!
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Re: Mixed lot of Third Reich Items
Got some more pics today and doesn't look good, all the stickpins look to be of a bad quality, the EK1 has a very new finish on the back. Im pretty sure the match box case is just a modern fantasy piece. SO all in all i think they are all bad imo even though the pics are still crap,
Thanks Glen.
Re: Mixed lot of Third Reich Items
I would pass on this lot Glen. If the seller can't provide any better photos then there is a reason. Don't waste your time or money.

Re: Mixed lot of Third Reich Items

Thanks, Glen.
