Greetings,
I found a number of WWII era German medals and paper items in a trunk that I recently bought at a Queens Day junk market here in Holland. Based on some of the information I have been able to find online, I have already determined that a few of them are fakes. The others I am not so sure about.
Since these things are not up my collecting alley (I am really into old baseball cards), I am looking to sell these things. But I don't want to go off half cocked and list these things as real if I am not sure. Therefore this post.
The things that I am looking for assistant on seem to be ...
1 - Tag der Arbeit 1935 Tinnie
2 - WWI medal bar with iron cross seconf class 1914 & Front Cross
3 - West Wall Medal
4 - Police long service award.
5 - Eagle Lapel Pin
6 - War Merit Medal
7 - Infantry Assault Badge with W.H. on the back
8 - Crimean Campaign Shield
9 - Black Wound Badge
10 - Mothers Cross
11 - Iron Cross Second Class
12 - War Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords
13 - War Merit Cross 2nd Class without Swords
14 - War Merit Cross 1st Class with Swords
15 - Winter Help booklet with hitler on the cover<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o
></o>
16 - Waffen SS postcard
Front and back images can be found at http://www.xs4all.nl/~mmcgrail/.
Any information or advise that any of you can give me on these would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
