Does this one stand a chance? Seller has a couple of these and says that he doesn't know if they are post-war or not, only that this manufacturer has been closed for 20 years...

OK, thanx!Comment

I don´t know what AOK means, but today I get one of those OVERHOFF-cockades, and IMO there are not original wartime cockades that where used by Lubstein.Comment

AOK = "All OK"? Let's hope so. I'll pick mine up at the local post office later today...

Looking through thread http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=348147, I notice that all but 2-3 cockades are of the "tall" standard type. There are however a few that look just like the "flatter" one in question...
I also noted one (Feldgendarmerie/recruiting) with a coarser mesh than what's usual (usual = 7-8 x 7-8 wire sections visible). Legit?

I'd be happy with it. Frankly, if these had been reproduced we'd see a lot more of them, either loose like this or on vented caps that call for them. Although I have seen one repaired/restored with micro screen mesh and red nail polish. Looked damn good.Comment
