I don't want to say it, but these scream "Stalingrad front.com" relic signs....

Very nice Mark. Thanks for sharing.
You certainly are correct about the load of fake relics. We see it all the time here.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Hello Mr Morris.
The large 24 pz div was found long (years before) Stalingrad front was created on the net.
Obviously you don't have a clue on rusted metal signs

Gents....Let's focus on the items.
While I do not collect relics and am not in a position of authenticating them, I can understand a bit of skepticism from members as we have seen time and again the large number of fakes out there.

Yes you are correct there are large amounts of fakes out there.
But after just having described that I have been collecting ground dug relics for 15 years and having told the provenance of the signs I was very surprised by Mr Norris comments.
Look closely at the pennants photos. Enlarge them . Look at the metal posts that the pennants are attached to. Are they old or newly aged. They speak for themselves
Look closely at the paint that remains on the signs. The paint is crazed with age. It is not newly faked.
Look closely at the rust pitting on the signs and the bullet holes. They are not newly faked. The rust is real rust that has taken decades to form not just a chemical reaction rust that you see on newly faked signs.
On the other side of the pennants that you cannot see there is hardly any paint left, only rust . Due to that side of the pennant facing the surface of the ground and hasbeen more exposed to moisture than the other side.
I have seen tons of fakes. I am 100 % sure these are originals.
I do not care if others call them fakes. They are original. 100%
Mark.

Thanks Mark.
All I'm saying to everyone is keep to the discussion on the item.

If your coil passes over and item and you dig it you find it. Targets can also be missed or ignored but you would be surprised at what still gets found even in places that are said to be "clear" of targets.
