    Need Help Confirming Originality

    Hi all,

    I have four items here that I would like to know whether they are original or not. First up are two paperworks I found in a surplus store in Sarajevo, Bosnia. The guy claimed they were originals. I am very skeptical of this and am almost certain taht these are just fake reproductions. Either way, it doesnt matter because I didnt pour cash into these. I took two photos of each, one backlite against the sun, so you guys can see better the material of the paper. And the other photo is just a normal one. Next, I have two German medals. I dont remember how or when I got them, but I would like to know if they are fakes or not. I took a photo of the front and back of both of them. Thank you very very much for any help. It is much appreciated. Thanks.

    Well judging from the badges which are both cast repos/fakes I would doubt the other parts are real as well

      Hi Joe,

      Sorry to say that all items that you show us here are fakes / re-productions / re-strikes or whatever one may call them.

      yours friendly

        Quite all right. I was 95% sure that all of these were fake. I am glad I didnt get ripped off when they were bought. However, I had some questions for you guys. I am always looking for original medals, textiles, or anything that is original WWII. I am not an expert in the field of collecting, so I was wondering, for the future, how can I spot things that are fakes so that I wont get ripped off. Could you use the pictures I posted to guide me on how to locate and find a original medal? What are the little things I should notice/look for? Thank you very much and thank you so much for your help. I have one more picture I wanted to show you guys for my friend. He has this medal and was wondering if it was real or not. Thanks.

        -Joe
