West wall with packet, ribbon

[Hans Kondor]

I too have always been leery of these Carl Poellath packets. I felt that the paper used on these did not match up to the paper used on known originals. I especially never liked the ones having the town name misspelled: Schrobenhansen instead of the proper Schrobenhausen. However, Marcus Hatton had a laboratory analysis done on the paper and ink of numerous examples, both with and without the misspelled town name. According to the laboratory findings, it was concluded that the paper and ink are of the period.

Nowadays, these Carl Poellath packets are frequently found paired with the late-war zinc issue medals and modern ribbons. But the ribbon shown here in this thread looks good to me.

Best regards,

Hello Tom,

thank you for explaining.

imo they just placed the lead font upside down. Making the schrobenhausen to schrobenhansen

Question

Does it bother anyone here that the wreath and the swaz looks thinner than the one on the main website here:
