Avatar on the shelf is the best

Most of medals are reproductions, am I right?

Not quite but clearly some are. All the Oakleaves are space fillers as is the KC of KVK w/o swords although it is solid silver. The pour le merit is a space filler and I definately know the GAB25 is now although it was brought in my earlry collecting days as original (more fool me). The rest are real (as far as I know). The KC is from DN with cert of originality but is post war original from S&L (2000Euros, couldnt afford £5K+) and the grand cross was purchased as a 1930's piece which is an ex Williamson piece. My GC in S is nice but is missing the catch and is MM 20 like the GC in G.
Most are from either DN or H Weitze but I mainly buy from one dealer locally as he has a no nonsense returns policy. I also have other pieces and will add more photos later once I get the hang of it. If I have to be honest I know 9 are not genuine but the rest are as far as looking at the forum goes.. hopefullyare!
