[ADOLPH]

Hello everyone, I just got this pieces in a fleamarket. I think they are originals but what do you think?
The HJ is the iron type or black paint came off?

Thanks a lot. I make ore photos if needed.

Adolph,

Which fleamarket was that?

[Darrell]

Rather unique pin assembly on the 25 Year. Something you usually see on WW1 Medals from France or Belgium.

Hello Adolph,

All of these pieces look good to me. The only thing I would question is the ribbon and pin attachment on the 25 Year Faithful Service Decoration. The ribbon width is too narrow and the pin device is definitely not German. I think someone did a homemade job on this using ribbon bar width ribbon. There is the possibility that this was period done, but I would suspect otherwise.
Best regards! Tom

The 25 Year Service Cross has a Belgian/France medal pin for the attachment.

Thanks a lot for your comments. I was worry about the HJ badge and the russian campaign medal, the 25 years service cross I knew was original but as you said the ribbon style and so many "good" copies lately made me doubt. I needed expert advice.

Once again many thanks to all of you,

Adolph.

I wouldn't be too quick to judge the 25 year Faithful Service ribbon as suspect. The width appears to me to be the size of the ribbon used on the ones for the large ribbon bars from the period. The pin assembly may not be German, but the ribbon may in fact be period, just not normally used on full size medals. It could have been from leftover stock used for American souviners at the end of the war by some German manufacturers.
