Hello all,

Any thoughts on this infantry pair, do they look wartime?

Look very... fresh?

[Felix]

Not giving me a hard on....

And they are not a matching pair. Two of the same side

thanks guys. Came with this Wiking cuff as well and some other reproductions.

one question though, is the Wiking the same pattern as this Germania?

[Ludwig]

It doesn´t look so...

It doesn´t look so...

I meant this Wallonien not the Germania, sorry.

Boards are well made but those pips look repro to me...Sorry!and if it came with the other stuff...that does not bode well...
Look at that TK and bad Rautes...???
It is all...

I meant this Wallonien not the Germania, sorry.

With the exception of the (small) engineering unit of Wallonien (probably unofficially obtained while undergoing training
at a pionier schule), nobody in that Division was issued an official "Wallonien" cuff title... Not sanctioned!
So the odds of finding a real one are pretty much impossible as technically these did not exist (on a Divisional level)!

Sorry for offending you with my questions on a public forum. You didn't have questions at 29 years old and had mastered ss insignia? Do you care to help me learn or are you the guy that pokes fun at those that ask the teacher for help during lesson?

Sorry, but after close to 10,000 posts I would have thought you would have learned something by now. You have successfully posted every fake insignia item known to mankind, yet you are still posting the most obvious fakes as seen in this thread. Don't mind me, I just a little confused by it all.

hey Pete, I didn't know you were anything on this forum except in the SS insignia forum. Since you have turned this Into a personal attack I guess I will tell you I could run laps around you when it comes to medals and badges (this is an awards forum)


I asked a question and you laughed while I am trying to learn. I guess that's why they call you three prong "it's worth less if you ask questions and post the images" Pete.

The shoulder boards are not a pair.
They look very much like reproductions to me.

Sorry to hear all of the bickering. On the boards, I do not trust the "fuzzy wool" white piping. I'm not an expert, just going by instinct and what originals I've handled!
