I just noticed the pieces posted by Michael McDaniel. There are some cigarette cases and a couple of rings. I personally would not touch any of these. Things with engravings always make me nervous. It's easy to have any old case engraved with anything you want. When something has a design in relief it's much more believable because it takes a lot more effort to make it. A die has to be made first unlike something engraved. The rings look really crude and I can't believe any German soldier would have wanted one. I'm surprise they haven't been yanked from the site. Maybe the administrators are not sure of them so they are letting everyone decide for themselves. I'll pass on these. What do you think? Fake or real?
