Hello everyone I am searching for decent quality German medals for uniform dispaly. I know Rex Reddick makes museum quality medals that they are rather expensive Does anyone know where I can get decent quality medals for uniform display without sopending lots? Does anyone know of the quality of "At the Front" reproduction medals? Thanks cheers and best, Ryan

Ryan, there is a guy on Gunbroker that always has Repo Medals. If you go to WW1` and WW11 Militaria and type in Repo in the search, I would think they would come up.

Ryan, what price range are you considering? And do you have any specific medals and or badges in mind?

I heard that Rex Reddick offers very good medals but spending $200 and $300 ++ USD on fake medals to display on tunic just makes little sense I bought a bunch from At the Front I will let you know how the look German cross, pilots badge 75 General assault gold would silver close cmbat EK1 cheers, Ryan

It will be interesting to see how they compare.
Please do show them when they arrive.

I have toyed with the thought of a museum grade Pour le Mérite (Blue Max) as there is no way I could afford an original.

If you are looking for Combat Badges, such as PAB or IAB...some of manufacturers of wartime badges continued producing Post War.

Souval and S&L are two such makers and you can find these for about the same price as some current better made fakes.

Myself, I would use one of these on an original tunic as they have the "look" of an original and can be found for $50.00 - $100.00

Here is a Post War made IAB from Steinhauer & Luck from my collection.

Also, you mentioned the badges from ATF. Here is one of the IAB's they sell for around $20.00 from my fake collection.

It is patterned after the ShuCo IAB examples and made for the reenactor guys.
Myself, I would pass on these as they look rather comical when compared to originals.

For discussion purposes, here is the Post War Souval with the indicative Claw catch.

You can find these rather easily on eBay sometimes sold as original.

Don,
The post war S.&.L. is a sharp looking badge.

The medals are fine for "fillers" on a tunic but that is pretty much it thanks for all of the pics sent cheers Ryan

I agree Joe and quality-wise, it surpasses most of the wartime originals.

Cheers!
