Hi everyone,
I just bought this cased Treue Dienst Ehrenzeichen, 40 Jahre. The case appears fine, but the medal appears to be a repro. I wanted to see what others thought.
Thank you,

Hello,
My grandmother had 4 brothers and they all fought for the Wehrmacht. She kept telling me the story about her brother Wilhelm Hekers, a JU-88 pilot who was shot down over England.
Today I searched his name on Google and found it immediately. I couldn't believe it when I found a discussion from the user russg about him here on the forum and that he was mentioned in the book Battle over Britain Then and Now. Everything is just right, his date of birth, his place of birth. I'm going to tell my 96 year old grandma tomorrow.

Hello Community!
I reviewed a while ago Andrew Reznik's book SS Metal Cap Insignia (Manufacturers, types, variants).
SS Metal Cap Insignia - Book Review - YouTube
It's a great guide for everybody who collects Waffen SS metal cap insignias.
I wish you all a great evening/afternoon/morning.

This is a nice-looking hat.
I am fearful causing damage by turning up the sweatband. I am open to suggestions.
