Hi guys My field of collecting is combat helmets but whilst in Poland last September I thought I would buy a few bits and bobs from a market in Kazimierz in Kraków. Now I saw a lot of fake stuff especially the guy who had 3 German para helmets in desert camouflage

anyway I picked a Russian war medal for the victory over Japan a trench art lighter and this badge. I have looked online for other examples of this badge but could not find much. So I leave it in your hands to tell me if it is a dud or the real deal. Thanks for looking guys.

Would that be the Plac Nowy flea market? i was there late Septmber and even a lot of the Polish awards looked to be dud. Not saying that yours is though!...

Hi gunny I was there at the end of September beginning of October and yes that was the place I got it. Did you see the guy selling the German para helmets with the desert camo

there were some nice things there but a lot of repro gear being sold as original as well.

Yep i did notice those para lids and indeed there was a lot of junk, the next time you visit try this place Plac Targowy Unitarg | Shopping | Krakow I got a very nice Arbeitsbuch for £8, it's better if you have a Polish friend to do the speaking because they tend to put the prices up a little for tourists!...
