Looking for an Identification of this Assman Wreath & Cockade

[Tony Bologna]

Hello, This wreath and cockade on ebay is a cross between a Forest General and Political Leader. Does anyone recognize it? Is it as rare as the seller claims?

Thanks

IMO, it is one of those cast fakes that are used on the Polish fakes of NSDAP visors made by "Hero Collection."

This one is in gold, but they are also made in silver:

Well, One was just posted and sold on Lakeside Trader for $275 in less than 24 hrs. so looks like it is not a fantasy item.

Never said that the style of wreath was a fantasy piece--just that the one you linked to was a fake. Originals do exist, and the one that was on Lakeside looks good--but the one on Ebay is a cast fake.

Totally agree with stonemint here! These are also virtually never used by the Diplomatic Corps (except for the ultra low ranks) but rather the RMBO. Here is an example in gold from my collection for comparison... Kurt
