Collecting german medals as I was once told,is like walking through a mine field with snow shoes on.Every one can get
through.The advanced collector and the new guy also.You got to figure out the best way for you.My advice for a new guy.
Never buy anything own your own to start.YOU WILL GET BURNT.Ask for help...Join some forums,ask for help.
buy ONLY FROM WELL KNOWN dealers and collectors and ask for help.Only start on a couple of types of medals at
first and study them.For example,if you wish to buy a wound badge ask people who study them.The same with eks ect.
