So far I can only find 1 Gustav Brehmer, with that type of stamp...
Militaria321.com - Auction - Mutterkreuz in Silber mit Band in Tüte

[Adrian]

Militaria321 is not the best place to source reference material. Can you post a pic of the packet please? I can't access the site from my works computer and it would be useful to see it here after the auction has ended.

I was going to use military321.com as some of you know. but I decided not to becasue of the terms and conditions of making an account. By no way am I scanning my dads/mine passport to them!
Avoid that site and shop here, butschek antiques
you may need to create an account but its very straight forward.

cheers,

Looking closer at the packets, I'm slightly unsure about them. I've never seen a Carl Forster & Graf packet with this type of font on the reverse. Usually the font is more Germanic in style (not sure what the correct term is) whereas this looks quite 'modern'
The Brehmer packet again has a stamp I've not come across before. I normally encounter them like the example below.
Obviously this doesn't make the fake of course but I would be interested to see if anyone else has packets by these makers with the same stamps and to hear anymore thoughts or opinions?

I found the Carl Forster & Graf font on this great site: Das_Ehrenkreuz_der_deutschen_Mutter | Firmenstempel Tüten
The Gustav Brehmer though, was not there...

That is a good site, I hadn't seen this one before. I've added it to the 'Useful Reference Links' thread at the top of the page.

That is a great site thank you very much for the link.
