I took a look at the thread and the back of that photo. I dont have time to scan it but there is nothing on the back. Just looks old and dirty-ish. I didn't pay much for it but who knows. When I get home tonight I'll blacklight it.

I'm sure it would be a bit easier in France then the pocket!
I like your photos, here is one I got off of Ebay a while back.

Hi ND.....Yup, unfortunately Paul is right (as usual!). IMO this is a bad one for sure. Sorry my friend.

Welcome to the forum and thread Alon! Thanks for posting

Israel is full of German militaria.

Really?

Welcome to the forum by the way, great photos!

ObKrieger,

Maybe I exaggerate when I say "full" but there is a lot of German militaria and antiques, yes. Not only is there interest in the stuff for the obvious reasons, but the huge migration of some 1.5 million Soviet Jews to Israel in the 1990s meant an influx of militaria into the country.

Here is one of a Officer, Deutschland division. Interesting.

note: Not a eBay photo.

That's really interesting, I never would have thought that!

Hey guys,
Ebay isnt great for militaria, but one of the best places to find quality photos IMO. Yes there are alot of shady sellers, but if you know how to spot them, its not a problem. A fake is a fake, no matter where you buy it.

ND, Im sorry again...but that is a bad one too. It is a type of "gray fake", with incorrect serrated cut/edges. A nice image tho for sure

Must admit i wouldn't have thought that a priority for jewish emigre's to Israel would be to take German militaria as part of their worldly goods but there you go ............... !!
