September 19, 2025Sep 19 #1 Hi everyone. Someone has offered to sell me a few items but I am unable to find any info in the “gull” patches and feel that they are not real. The same thing goes for the shoulder medal, it doesn’t seem to match what i have found online. Can someone help? Thank you in advance for the in-site. Have a wonderful day.
September 19, 2025Sep 19 Solution #3 You should ask for better images and pictures of the backsides for a better assessment. With that said, the Bullion insignia looks to be for the German Air Sports Association DLV Gliders Badge. (Luftsportverband) (German Air Sports Association/DLV) Glider Proficiency Badges. These came in 3 classes, A,B,C. I believe Class A is one Gull, Class B 2 Gulls and Class C 3 Gulls.. From what I am seeing they look OK but I would want to see the backside to see what the backing is on these bullion pieces. The breast Eagle looks to have had all the material removed. With that said, it could also be the base material as carboard templates were used to make many of the insignia and this may be an incomplete Luftwaffe breast eagle. The next item is a Luftwaffe Marksmanship Lanyard ((Luftwaffe Schützenschnur). It appears to be a Grade 1 Lanyard and looks to be very nice. Again, images of the back needed to assess better. With an initial assessment I see no obvious red flags... Leigh
