Wondering about original versus reproduction status of several Decoratons, etc.

When your time permits, could you comment on original or reroduction status of the following items.

I wouldn't bother with any of them. The market seems to be flooded with the Afrika Korps pith helmet decals like the one you have and there are differences when compared to known originals.

Hi Lorenzo, the Lufwaffe air sea rescue badge was never produced during the war.

The broken wreath from the NSDAP leaders cap is original but not really worth collecting.

The WW1 medal I cannot comment upon as it is outside my area of collecting experience.

Both cuff titles are fake. Originals have been shown on the forum. the deathshead on the Oberbayern title is incorrect pattern and the Afrika has poorly formed lettering and leaves and the back is bad too.

The Heer helmet decals are modern repros for re-enactors.

The Feldmarshal's crossed battons are fake and lack detail.

The early Heer cap eagle might stand half a chance but that is it.

Cheers, Ade
