What is this?

The messy soldering seen on the reverse is not indicative of factory manufacture.  I too believe the Spange is a reproduction for the reasons stated.    

Caution is good,  I have, from collection last year: Stupid question,,, is it HG or LW armor?

This kind of stuff can certainly interested the local museums.

Excellent Manny, another masterpiece! Vehicles and figures are perfectly painted and I especially admire the base with the cobblestone and guard house. Great work!   Merry Christmas - Fohe Weihnachten and a Happy New Year!   Lars

"Honorary award", not military for sure. Walheim is a town in southwest Germany. Maybe (19)31 is the year? My first guess would be a shooting club medal but I will do some more research.

I found this the other day-- What is it ? How old is it ? What was it given out for ? Any help would be great---- Thanks

Just a nice honest uniform in the proper WWII configuration as opposed to the post war style with the rear pockets and epaulets removed. Same story with the M39 helmet, it still retains the WWII leather liner and chin strap as opposed to the 50s modified canvas style. One day I will get it all on a mannequin with the proper equipment and boots.   Scott

In case you decide to Google them its actually Aertex. Not sure on this style though.   Scott

I would avoid it but I’m overly cautious.

The prong assembly doesn’t look right.
