The one on the right is the symbol for Waffen SS Division Hohenstaufen. I cannot comment on their authenticity but as with all SS items they are suspect until confirmed real. NH

In my eyes they look artificially aged.

The plaques are postwar fabrications. Do not buy these.
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade! So this would be the type of thing made to sell to the troops after the war, or even later just to fool someone. I know a lot of Trench Art was made after WW1 just to be sold as souvenirs. But don't know if this was the case in WW2.

They show the insignia of Nederland , Das Reich ands as pointed out Hohenstaufen Divisions , i don't believe they are post war vet items just modern repros with an SS Div tac sign stuck on to sex them up !

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I'd rather have trench art made "after" WWI than these any day of the week ;-)

These are 4th Reich junk made to fool the gullible. As Ade said, stay clear of this junk. There is no reason to reward the fakers.
