Re: Help a newbie out?
It's a bit of a pitty that you have the same name as me, people could be confused.

Re: Help a newbie out?
Welcome to the forum, i'm sure there are plenty of people here who can help you. None of these things are in my particular area of knowledge, but I might as well make a start. The first is a Krim shield, awarded to members of the German Wehrmacht who took part in fighting in the Crimea, 1941-1942. It is worn on the arm, and is missing its backing cloth. I cant say if its genuine. The second looks like a 'tinnie' a cheaply made third Reich commemorative badge of the 1930's, and probably genuine. Then there is a litzen (collar tab) which I suspect id for a Nazi political uniform, probably genuine. And finally a military breast eagle, possible for a coastal artillery tunic? I dont know if this is genuine.
Others will tell you more.

Re: Help a newbie out?
This is the SS forum here, but all what I see looks ok BUT the breasteagle, I got some issues about that one.

Re: Help a newbie out?
Not sure on the other items, but the breast eagle is a post war copy in my opinion.

Whatever
its just an opinion.

Re: Help a newbie out?
Thanks for the answers so far.
Could I ask what looks wrong about the eagle? Is it something in the detail and construction or is it simplt too clean looking? I must admit it does look quite different to some I've seen on here.
Sorry for all the questions!
Oh - and my apologies for posting in the wrong section. This was the last thing I was looking at before registering and I think I just carried on where I left off!
Admin/mods, please move it if necessary.

Re: Help a newbie out?
Might i suggest that you post each item in it's relevant section and await responses , unfortunately nothing here relates to the SS so they are all in the wrong place !!
Welcome and regards

Re: Help a newbie out?
Completely different to any original period versions I have seen, the fabrics used, the shape of the eagle, the colour of the green backing fabric and its shiny nature, the poorly defined feet and the way they grasp the wreath around the swastika. Hopefully that is enough for you. Can you show the reverse please as the construction details are only visible on the back, though if is sewn to a piece of fabric, as it looks to be, these details will not show.

Jerry

Re: Help a newbie out?
Thanks for that Jerry - much appreciated. I'll take a shot of the back and post it up (this time I'll try putting it in the right section......!).
And thanks all for the replies.
