Dealer selling old collection

[reichenberg]

This dealer is selling an 'old collection' of Third Reich (and a few Imperial) items and I am a bit concerned about a couple of them. I wont mention which ones as I don't want to prejudice opinions, but would value any comments.

[reichenberg]

Yep - spotted that one, and far too cheap for an original!

A rare Glider Badge mmd "W" for 280 pounds.

Want a good laugh. Check out the Heer Flak badges.

Looks like three different variations of the lizard man fake. Even a nickle plated one for the more discerning buyer.

The Memel medal you speak about appears to be a Mask Fake.

If you do a search of the forum you will turn up a few.

Regarding the second site. I'd requested pics of a couple of dodgy looking medals from them and was denied too.
