I'm no expert but my vote is all reproductions for the box with the ID, eagle pin and camera. The ID is way too perfect with details and the pin looks very cheaply made. I have never seen any stamped pins they are all cast and soldered or brazed that one was cheap sheet metal. The camera was period correct but I doubt if that name is real that he owned that camera. Too over the top. And the leather case the eagle almost looked engraved not pressed like genuine leather goods. Not too mention there was no waffen stamps on the leather.
The Allach plate is nice but the original box with the cardboard protectors is extremely valuable. More valuable than the plate itself imo. How you guys were handling the fragile cardboard made me sweat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great session Tom. Sorry about the junk. You know the soda bottle episode might have been funny but the day I fall out of my chair laughing is when you light and smoke your beard. Lol
In 1758 Frederick the Great once more took the initiative by invading Moravia. By May, he had laid siege to Olomouc; but, the Austrians were able to hold the town and destroyed Frederick's supply train, forcing him to retreat into Silesia. In the meantime, the Russian army had advanced within 100 miles (160 km) east of Berlin. In August, he fought the Russian forces to a draw at the Battle of Zorndorf, in which nearly a third of Frederick's soldiers were casualties. He then headed south to face the Austrian army in Saxony. There, he was defeated at the Battle of Hochkirch on 14 October, although the Austrian forces were not able to exploit their victory. Camera pronounced (voit lander} Made in Germany and a quality camera.
