Luftschutz 1st Class original?

[Friedhelm]

Hi Guys,

I saw this one and before I came across this one I'd never seen one before. When I googled they seemed to be very rare which put my hope on a low level. It is marked in the ring with 41 Gebruder Bender. Is this an original piece or just crap? Thanks in advance!

The ribbon is fake, the suspension ring and jump ring are A-typical for original awards.

Hi Ian, That the ribbon is fake I understand I compared it myself with known originals and saw a little difference but what do you mean by A-typical is it good or not? I have no knowledge about these things. I didn't even knew these existed untill I saw this one. Thanks

Regards,

What is your concern?

The photos are poor, but nevertheless it looks like just another zinc post-war Souval casting as in this discussion:

It's the most common type to be posted on the forums.

Hi Friedhelm,

Not one I would care to have either. Ribbon and cross both fake IMO.

Best regards,
