I just received them from a friend in Europe I think they are all junk but i could be wrong.

I think you could be right there Chris, something doesnt look right with them

I am not an insignia guy, but judging from the other bits that I have studied, I wouldn't feel comfortable calling these original.

The Lappland shield is, I am pretty sure, a very poor fake.

[Walkwolf]

Both the patch and button are fakes.
Probably the other two as well......

Post the SS items in that forum to be sure on those. I thought the Lappland Schild was controversial at best or field made and awarded. The chances of a cloth version being produced are very remote so I would say it's a fake.

Sorry, everything is bad.

Any "original" Lappland shields were mostly made in POW camps out of whatever was at hand. The most accepted "original" is known as the "Soapdish" type. I believe they were from the middle of Norway area. The one shown is a fake or a "57er" version. Docs were officially awarded,but not the shields. Stewy

I'm not totally sure,i'll have to do some checking. If they did it's a first for me. I'm not into "57" stuff,so i was unsure. Stewy
