I recently got a few German pins on a fair and I've been wondering ever since are any of them somehow genuine. They got many red flags like waffenamt on the back, uneven enamel, strange enamel on NSDAP pin, etc... could anyone please help me identify these? -

How come when I go to the flea market all I see is endless tee shirts, used clothes, junk and piles of stuff that should have been thrown away long ago. 😆 Gee whiz!!!!!!!!!! -

Update: an acquaintance was kind enough to share his thoughts on both the website this helmet is featured on and the helmet's paint..... As follows: 1) EVERY LAST HELMET on the site has a decal which, should you have watched as much newsreel footage/viewed period photographs from period as I have seems suspicious 2) There is a spot next to manufacturer code where a unique green (not apple) is visible. He then directed me to a site that was selling Finnish helmets. The colour, to my eyes (and his) appears to be identical. Needless to say I passed on the helmet. Tempted as I am to do so I will not share the identity of the website or speculate on whether seller was aware of issues when he put the helmet up for sale. Bummer. -

hello, I do not specialize in WWII German bandages. I know that virtually everything is faked or reproduced in some way. That being said, I have seen plenty of new old stock bandages in mint or near mint condition. I see no obvious reason to think this one is a fake. Someone else may chime in and disagree. And if so, I admit my mistake in advance. Cheers!
