Hi All,
I've been a member for while and not posted much so this is effectively my first post! I am a member of a FB group about medal collecting and pretty nasty discussion has broken about third reich awards and reference books. "There all fake", "99% fake," "not worth collecting" are points that have been raised. As well as some pretty un-gentlemanly discussion about Mr Maerz's books. Its been argued that "Certificates of Authenticity" are "worthless". This has got me a bit worked up!
What does everybody think about that? I am no expert but I purchased my lovely S&L Micro 800 with a cert of A (from Maerz) and am quite happy with it. Are these just the ramblings of those who have been stung with fakes? Hopefully you can see the images of my KC, Not in the best condition, not in the worst condition but its been worn from the looks of the ribbon.
