Always interests me which medals are seen with others in a grouping, any others out there with an 8 year?

I fear the 8 year is a repro sorry
Given that the Westwall was instituted in 1939. I find it difficult to believe that the soldier was in the SS before service on the walls??
John,
the medals are in the correct order of merit as presribed by formal regulations:
1 - iron cross II
2 - War merit cross - with or without swords
3 - Social welfare
4 - Russian Front
etc
etc
9 WH service medals
10 Other service medals - inc SS
etc
then west wall should be last in respect of this grouping
So is not an indicator of anything being wrong with the 8 year medal.
The quality of the medal is good - certainly compared to other fakes correctly identified on earlier posts tot he forum.
i'll try to get a close up of the medal to post.
Thanks
not as sharp pictures as i'd have hoped but here they are.
comparison....................This ones a Petz and Lorenz
There are a few areas of concern for me, but that is just my opinion. It counts for nothing
Details on the SS medal seem too soft. Stewy S
The "SS" on the reverse doesn't seem to run paralell,but it could be just the picture angle. Stewy S
