Thanks in advance, Dani

You'd need better pictures to be sure of originality, but everything "looks" real from what I can see:

You have:

1. Winter in Russia 1941/42 medal (Ost Medal/Russian Front medal).... value $35./45.00 US retail
2. Fire Service Award 2nd Cl. ...............................value $180./250.00 US retail
3. Fire Service Award 1st Cl. (if gold/giltted frame) ......... value $800./1,000.00 US retail
4. Unknown "State" medal- appears postwar ???...... value $50./90.00 US retail
5. Luftschutz Decoration 1st Cl............ value $750./$1200.00 plus US retail.

To be a 1st Cl. Fire Service Award, the circular surround should be gilted- the "3 good ones" would require close up/sharp detailed pictures to be sure they are real (the 1st cl. Fire and Luftschutz are VERY Scarce awards!)... nice catch if all is real.

FAR better photos are required but based on the incorrectly aligned swastika discs and thin jump rings both the Fire Service Medals appear to be post war Souval-made replacement/fakes. Didn't you post these on WAF and receive the same replies ?
