Hello Basti,

Definitely an unusual packet for the Luftschutz Decoration Second Class, but I think I am liking it. Never saw one like this before. The titling on the front looks well done, but the style of script is unusual. (Although I don't think disqualifying.) The maker markings on the back of the packet are a mess. But that could be due to the coarse and porous nature of this particular paper, which caused the ink to bleed out. Is that supposed to be Josef Feix Söhne Gablonz a/Neiße? Did the pictured medal come with this packet? Is there any marking on the suspension ring of the medal? I would not be so quick to call this packet a fake. I think it might very well be a good one.

Best regards,
Tom

Thank you for youre help, I have spoken with weitze, and He also sad: " yes you are right, we have maked a mistake, the package is a fake ! "
The medal is a very nice originaly one, made of alu.
The problem is, that there is in german also a spelling mistake on the package, because a C is missing in Lufts(c)hutz .... such mistake, a real maker never would have done.

Thank you all

best wishes

Hello Basti,

Thanks for pointing that out. I can't believe I missed that obvious spelling error.

Best regards,
Tom
