I used to collect medals and having spent thousands of hours pouring over them and gauging their authenticity, I don't have a problem with any of these. The PAB is particularly nice and a rare maker mark (mm). A positive steal at £160.

The Afrika badge seems pretty rare too. I've asked around and can't find any info on it. So now I'm bound to ask if I'm hugely underpricing and ought to be going to a specialist forum? My dad was the keen authority - I know very little about them beyond basic research.HALODIN wrote:I used to collect medals and having spent thousands of hours pouring over them and gauging their authenticity, I don't have a problem with any of these.

Quite a few years ago, I sold 2 x PAB's (one of which was a F&R PAB) for £300. I would estimate your lot as follows -
War Merit Cross 2nd Class with swords and ribbon £30
Panzer assault Badge £150+
Kriegsmarine Minesweeper Badge £60
War wound badge £20
Afrika cloth badge. £??

It depends on it's rarity as to it's price, but the one above isn't cheap. I can't find your patch anywhere, so perhaps it is rare, I don't know, but I'd suggest you search here and potentially create an account and ask them for a valuation. For german militaria, it's probably the best forum on the web.

OK - in the light of Halodin's input it would seems a revision is in order.
Available individually and price includes insured courier:
War Merit Cross 2nd Class with swords and ribbon @ £30
Panzer assault Badge @ £150
Kriegsmarine Minesweeper Badge @ £60
War wound badge @ £20
I'm still trying to find out about the Afrika cloth badge and don't have any info or price on it - but if someone buys the lot I'll chuck it in for free as a bonus.
