Fred,
Thank you for that information.. And I am sure that these abound in many collections and are thought of as original..
I appreciate you informing us (me).. as my last intention is to steer someone in the wrong direction..

Smitty,
They look like originals, no fault to you . they were brought into this country by a German dealer to make money on collectors back in the late 60's early 70's. I used to own an example of each before I did some studying and found out they were fake. I posted an article on the WAF called the Big Blue Tub about a guy selling them as fakes at the SOS.

Thank you Fred, it's not mine unfortunately. I forgot to add photo credit to the Ailsby collection. However if you follow the link and scroll to the bottom of that link it erroneously shows a swastika version as being authentic as well.

Al,
This information validates that there is lots more to learn and study.. I will always continue to be a student of militaria..
Best regards..
