      Hey Tipton   Yes, I think by the smoothness of the finish would make me double check that one, not as sharp detailing. Also looks like they did various pins, but DH...couldn't find it as a maker🤷‍♂️ I always use this site as reference for this type of stuff: https://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/war_badges/heer/infantry_assault.htm its fantastic. a lot of information

      Not to digress, but these are outstanding inages of the wartime issue Luftschutz medal in zinc, commonly referred to as the "heavy version".   Source:   https://www.militariasales.com/product/german-1938-luftschutz-air-raid-defense-medal-heavy-version/

      I will have to take a closer look, thanks for pointing that out. I do appreciate anything you can tell me about this certificate, However I prefer to call it an original stamped signature Thanks again

      Just acquired this with a group of items and thought it was interesting. Although I cannot read any of it, I can see that this woman travelled from Germany to Turkey. By the dates I am seeing, this may have been among the last German civilian trips to Turkey until the war was over. Turkey was neutral until the very end of the war. Citizens of combatant nations could not travel to Turkey during the war, other than for some business purposes and diplomatic activities. I suppose It is possible she had some business or diplomatic role. Anyway, just thought someone might enjoy seeing it. And may someone can interpret anything interesting for the rest of us.

      Based on its shiny intact finish, probably a "newer" fake or an older fake that's been refinished. There's some bubbling in spots.

      Great, that's what I figured but wasn't sure.  Thanks for all the help!  It's not one that was made after the war in the 50's or 60's right?  Probably just a modern fake/replica?

      I agree,  bad pin/catch set up, eagle details mushy, and the finish is very odd.

      Wow, that’s very interesting, thank you!

      That is supposed to be HA. Herman Aurich did not use that type of set up. Here is an original for comparison.

      Hello all,   Just wondering if anyone can tell me if this one is legit or a newer copy?  I've seen a few others with this DH maker that said they were legit, but I don't know if they copied them or not.  Anything wrong that stands out?  Thanks so much!   Eric
