What's your newest militaria? (new 2016 thread)

A 1936 Berlin Omympic games souvenir. This is a A4 sized first day stamped sheet with all ten issues canclled from Berlin.

 

I got this item at the flea market today. I want to ask you more experienced collectors wether it is real or fake.

I think that the medal is original but the ribbon is a reproduction but for the War Merit Cross with Swords not the medal.

Ribbon bar I got with it (I can see the Eastern Front ribbon too)

 

Your expertise stands correct. This a good German merit medal (probably a dig up which explains the replaced ribbon). This is not a problem though considering this Verdienst medal is the most common one and worth about 25 €, so the ribbon wouldn't add alot to it anyway. You could try to get the other easy to get medal the Cross and the Cross with swords.

 

Thank you very much for the information!

 

Btw the second ribbon is for the Ostmedaille (1941-42) Winter.

 

Yes, thank you. Do you know the price for that medal?

 

Also around 25 euros. They are easy to find because they were awarded to all those who had spent some time on the OstFront in 1941-42 , in other words millions.

 

Partisan,Nice award and ribbon bar.
Skipper,Nice stamp set. Rich A. in Pa.

 

Alright, thanks!

Thanks!

 

Received the reproduction ribbon I ordered from ebay for a Serbian Balkan War Cross 1913.

 

Looks good enough and what matters is the medal.

 

True. I bought the medal for a really good price so I wanted to buy the ribbon to look better in my display.

 

Nice award. Rich A. in Pa.

 

Thanks Rich!
