Fake & Repro Marks:

[1] : Reproductions Of Nazi-Period Items:

Dealing with items from the Nazi period is not an easy matter, mostly because people really (and only) interested in the historic context are all too easily believed to be politically suspicious. While I don't like actually 'helping' modern-day believers in Nazi ideology, I must always hold in mind that there are people around that are merely interested in these items, based on a normal historic interest.

The whole sector of Nazi memoribila is literally flooded by reproductions and fakes, most of which are all too easily defaced as such. The following examples of repro base marks were found on items which were actually advertized and sold as modern day reproductions, only to turn up as 'rare treasures from the Führer-Bunker' on another site a short time later.
