FJ Award Groups

[15parabattalion]

I came across an award grouping for FJ who served in Fallschirmjager Regiment 2 and Crete. It had the IKII and loads of documents and pictures. £950 was being asked. I did not buy it as I could not afford the money! German site.

Two days later its sold and appears on another site but with this time his FJ badge (which was not on the original lot) at £1650. UK site.

My gut feel the badge has been added to 'finish' the collection and up the value. I know 95% of traders have 'duff' gear and would trade their granny for a fiver but this UK site I though was pretty reputable..

Hey hum. trust absolutely no one....

Happy M - you got it spot on! I was always a bit dubious about them and I hate the way they trade things as commodities, they started as good collectors and the lure of the gold took them away!!

The reputable sites I would guess are Jamie Cross and Mickey Hughes but I don't think UK sites are any more/less trustworthy than sites worldwide!
