Grandfathers collection... patches with original tags?

[regrothenberger]

I would say these are real, but what do you think?

Is it rare to find them like this?

Notice the one in the original plastic.

Thanks! Reagan

No worries. These are good original items. Hard and expensive to find like this today.

Cheers, Ade.

Hello,
Yes, it looks like your grandfather picked up some nice items.
Could you post a better picture of both Brunswick skulls por favor ?
Thanks

[John Brandon]

Yes Real, nice, and expensive (in comparison)

[regrothenberger]

Thank you all. A friend gave him these years ago. He brought them back from Germany during WW2. Who knows how he got them.

Great items indeed. Also, it looks like they were liberated from some factory or from some stores window display ;-))

Really nice. Your Grandfather is a wise man to have preserved these. Thanks for sharing.
What part of Texas are you from?

I am from Beaumont Texas! On the scenic gulf where we watch the hurricanes come in...
Just to let ya'll know, there is a post of my grandfathers collection in the collections thread in the forum.

Thanks for the help! Reagan

Beaumont?! Heck! I am from Nederland Texas! How is that for irony.

Yes, your grandfather has accumilated a very nice collection. What makes these very rare is that they are still in bundles, as the tailor would have received them from the factory.
