Some sort of collector copy at best.

Hi John

What about it would leave you pretty sure it was made in the 50's?

[petopoint]

Hmm

It reminds me of ones that were peddled by an outfit in the 60's and 70's called WWII Limited
Company in the Midwest. I believe they were selling for $20 or $25 during that same era.

[Biro]

I'm not even sure I'd pay the $45 that Reddick Militaria ask for a brand new one of these.

Sorry John, worthless junk that has some merit as a display item, but not much more.

Yes agreed it is a collector copy but an old one . Even these have a good collectors value . this one was purchased in the 50s according to the previous owner .

[saschaw]

Mhh, I would not have guessed it's that old. The quality just... isn't.

John,

Is this the piece that comes with a COA from Homer Helter, or something like that?

Hi John

You should be aware that the PLM you posted is a very common and prolifically available collector copy that has been offered by both Riddick Militaria and Nicholas Morigi since at least 1975. More here http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ht=Reddick+PLM

A quick search using the word 'Pour' on Nicholas Morigi's website http://www.nicholasmorigi.com/index.php?cat=Main

will clearly show them to be the same type as yours http://www.nicholasmorigi.com/show_pic.php?id=W3688S

and they are offered marked JGuS http://www.nicholasmorigi.com/show_p...=W3688S&inum=3

with a fitted case http://www.nicholasmorigi.com/show_pic.php?id=W3689

with decal that matches yours http://www.nicholasmorigi.com/show_p...d=W3689&inum=2

and a deluxe case option http://www.nicholasmorigi.com/show_pic.php?id=W3700 marked WILM


I don't want to rain on your parade, but Morigi's sell for £179.50

I would be extremely surprised if yours was in fact a 1950's purchase as claimed by the previous owner, but even if that was true, their collector value is currently... well... £179.50

I notice a marking on yours next to the clearly rogue 'W' that has been inscribed on the pie wedge. Is it a JGuS or 938?


Regards
