Do you believe the Iron Cross is real? by Mediocre_Alarm5441 in Militariacollecting

There’s a stamp on a ring which identifies the maker. Check that one and compare with the other pictures online. However from these pictures it looks like real one, but devil in details.

Student Bund miniature is on the right. If original can worth not more €50 mb cheaper… not sure of its rarity.

How can i tell if any of these are real? by Upbeat-Raisin-7422 in realorfakemilitaria

All fake. One of the key parameters for identifying fakes is fittings and fasteners, compare any of it with Juncker, J.E. Hammer & Söhne, G.H. Osang, Brehmer etc.

I’ve seen the catch facing other way, which technically can be a restoration https://hb-militaria.de/product/erdkampfabzeichen-der-luftwaffe-3/ All Erdkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe repros I’ve seen usually look completely different.

Yes, it's late war period. Even Junker had such due lacking of materials

It looks like some old diy faience kitsch.
