hi since i know for a fact that a medal for stalingrad never was made and would have beenthe grainelevator and not this BUT i also know that there was some kind of memorial pin made so my question is this one of the memorial pin and if so is it original regards DS

-update-

he also sells this i got enormous warning clocks when i saw this

-update-

hmm im starting to get more and more suspicious he also put up this for sale but no backside photos but the info of every object is incredibly detailed so if its fakes he knows it but if its real he sells this antipartizanenkampf badge for 100 euros so im guessing fake but you never know i guess swift answers is appreciated regards DS

The "Stalingradkreuz"/"Deutschmeisterkreuz" as such is not a fantasy design; this was the shoulder strap badge authorized in 1943 for the divisional staff of the 44. Reichsgrenadierdivision "Hoch und Deutschmeister" and its Reichsgrenadierregiment 134 as well as the regiment's replacement battalion.

I don't know whether this even existed in a period stickpin form or not, but I don't like the look of the item seen here one bit.

The other one with the eagle and swastika-on-red is a fantasy piece for sure.

Funny thing I have the same Stalingrad Cross pin for years and I photographed it the previous weekend because I wanted to ask the forum about it... When I go home I'll post the photos in this thread!!
