'57 KC with OLC & swords

I'm primarily a US collector so curious how the German collecting community looks on these.

I'm somewhat fascinated with the idea of these reissues. Opinions and comments?

Mentioned here many times.

Pure rip off .

Modern reproduction of the 1957 replacement awards. They did not look like this in the 60's and 70's. No 1957 piece was ever marked L/12. I look at this offer as pure junk

Cheers.

Sorry, guess I didn't phrase the question right and shouldn't have put the link in there. I'm more interested in how IIIrd Reich collectors view the 57 issues overall as a collectible. There is no comparable reissues of more or less banned awards in US medal collecting. Is there a strong interest in these? Do you find them in documented groups? Are there binders and documents to go with the reissue awards?

What are the documents like? I don't think I've ever seen one offered before.
