      I bet there are more original or "assembled from leftover parts" pieces in this photo than there are newly manufactured pieces.

        And that's the real question ... i could be but it could be not. I have the fear the the mint stuff of today could be the early postwar production. On the other hand some declared postwar stuff could be in fact wartime stuff.

        Based on the pictured article we know now:

        - the allied forces allowed the makers to re-produce awards
        - there was a real market with demand for the awards (and not only some souvenier searching soldiers)
        - there was a retail seller system for that awards
        Best regards, Andreas

          Good synopsis Andreas, and I can only agree with what you wrote. I encourage everyone to go to the linked thread and read the Revue article.
