My Militaria Show Finds. Opinions?

[GIZMO8Z]

I picked these up at a militaria show being held locally.

I was just hoping you fine fellows could tell me your thoughts on these items and whether or not they're all original!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

This was advertised as a Japanese rifle flag. Another dealer told me it is a flag civilian well-wishers would wave as their boys were being sent away to war.


The flag has a bakelite-like telescopic pole.


I thought this was a very clean looking example of a mother's cross. I love the patina. The dealer I bought this from offered me a gold variant at the same price, but it looked like a truck has run it over.




Black wound badge:




European/ African/ Middle Eastern campaign medal w/ two battle stars and matching ribbon bar.


I got a ribbon bar for my Good Conduct medal for free!


So what do you guys think?!

Thanks! I find the whole premise behind the MK fascinating! I think my students will get a kick out of the fact that medals were given out to encourage women to produce more fodder for Hiter!

I really like the flag too! Cool little item.

Huh, I swear i've seen these before.

Nice finds, once again. I'm starting to like those wound badges more and more. Wish I had more than 1.

Believe your flag is indeed a 'well wisher' flag.

I like them all, especially the wound badge.........!

[ObKrieger]

Nice stuff, Joe. You did well. Did you spot any fakes?

Sorry I didn't reply, I wasn't awake yet. lol

[Nick Hessens]
