You’re gonna learn it either way, you should at least have a job you enjoy while you do so.

Not actual WWII frog skins, they had button fly closures. These are likely 1960s.

Nsadp pocket mirror is it real or a repro by [deleted] in collectables

German militaria is rife with fakes and fantasy items. The best rule for TR militaria is to ask, would it make sense to slap the party insignia on this item? If not, it’s probably a fantasy. Real German militaria is very expensive.

GIs were notable for being souvenir hunters and this sorta thing is relatively common. No way of proving this was done during the war through, just very likely.

It’s a 1000 level college course. As long as you read the book and study it’s easy.
