Thank you Peter,
I thought they were faked, lets face it what TR items aren't faked.

If they will fake Black Wound Badges, what won't they.

Hello Jonathan,

if everybody stop collect III. Reich items (and all other kind of old thinks), fakes also disappear... but we have to beat fakes with our knowledge

And here is a link, where you can see nice Luftwaffe sword: REPLICA WW2 GERMAN LUFTWAFFE OFFICERS SWORD AND SWORD KNOT - Quarterdeck Medals & Militaria

Best regads

Properly advertised as a replica in the above link, from what I can see it seems to be one of the (reported as) Spanish replicas from I believe over 20 years ago. It's also one that I've had the opportunity to personally examine, and while not perfect IMO it's one of the better ones. Best Regards, Fred
