New Militaria Website

[RoyA]

Thought I would let you know about a new website....
http://www.militaryautographs.com/
While specializing in paper, they have lots of other high-end militaria available.
I know them personally and can give them a resounding
Best regards,

Nice To Have New Dealers

I`m sure they are Good Guys, it would be helpful if they mentioned that all the Waffen SS RKT photos are post war and post war signed.

Decorations

I took a quick look at this site and clicked onto the section labeled DECORATIONS. The Bronze PAB marked "AS" in a triangle is a reproduction.
Although the images are not very large, the Silver CCC marked "FLL" appears to be a recent, very well done copy. The 4 side crimps are not what I would expect to see on an original. If the logo were larger, you could make a determination there as well.

Agree with Tim and just want to add that the Para Badge also looks like a repop.
The Blockade Breakers badge is also suspicious to say the least.

Para PooPoo

Hello Roy,
I too believe that the Para badge shown is not a period piece. Even with the dark pics I can see that the pin, catch, and hinge are of the types known widely on repro badges of all shape and size. You will never find this setup on original Paras, regardless of the maker. If he is an acquaintance, I would definately want to point this out to him and to have him take a closer look at the other pieces in question too.

Guys, thanks very much for the feedback.
Bill & George specialize in paper and I'm sure they're extremely disappointed that you've identified a few questionable badges.
I can assure you they're honorable gentlemen and stand by everything they sell.
I've passed along everyone's comments and I'm sure they'll make the necessary corrections to the website.
Thank you!
Roy
