Ok, i went to this show in my area today, came across a guy that had alot of WW2 allied items out for viewing for sale.
Si i took the chance, and asked him if he had any WW2 German items.
He said , boxes of it, i dont put it out because of the smartass comments from people.
He was very willing to let me look over everything, I was able to take some pics with my iPhone.
I have his contact to go by his house, and purchase whatever i want to.
Here are some pics, please let me know what you think. The funeral sash has an SS RZM stamping on the inside, like a SS cap would have on the underside of the brim.
This guy had boxes, upon boxes of WW2 German items, and from what i could tell, they are all original items, from what i could tell from the pics of items i have seen on here before.
I know some of these items belong in the SS section.
By the way, i felt like i just hit the jackpot, so much for sale, and in one location.

Indeed! I would be excited as hell too. These items look to be genuine at first glance. Does he have any headgear? Please take some photos if you can when you see him again.
BTW, do you know what the four leaf clover with the Swas is?
Brian,
I would contact the seller and ask to go by his house and take much better photos. It is impossible to tell if anything is original by these pics. The Luftwaffe Gemeinsames Flugzeugführer und Beobachterabzeichen and Flieger Erinnerungsabzeichen are high value badges and widely faked. They need to be examined closely front and back.
The guys in the SS forum might be able to help with those items from the pics but I doubt it.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
The four leaf clover and swaz are merely a good luck token or badge. I have also seen watch fobs similar to this. It is not third reich/nazi related in any way.
Regards, Ned.
