Hi, opinions please on whether this is genuine, I think its ground dug 36/42 (probably zinc or pot metal).....but let me know what you think:








Thanks!

without any info on this (very nice) offcr. buckle:

traipsing round and digging up poor dead soldiers' graves is IMO an abomination.

I wonder if the ghouls also dig up their own reletives long gone. think of the finger rings and other treasures they may find! and gold doesn't rust!!

people trafficking in "grave dug" relics are rightly deemed criminals in many countries. they should be reported to authorities and prosecuted.

i agree with Vestae,,,just because it is a ground dug item,why is the general feeling that it is from a grave robbing?....it is what it is,nuff said,,, Eek

Jumping to conclusions. More of these were put in the ground than in graves. SS put their items in the ground to avoid detection at the end of the war.
