I agree. I collected WWI medals years ago so I have an extensive collection myself, below are just a few of my German ones. I do have an Iron Cross second class plus many other medals.

I only recently got my WWI Luger which is 1917 DWM (in rememberance to my father who recently passed who sold his Luger years ago but it was a post WWII one anyway) but I like that it goes nicely with my WWI medal collection.

These guys are right you need to be careful, I searched for years and saw many fakes. I'm sure their reccomeded sources are on the up & up.

Here is just a few of my German WWI medals. None of the ribbons are original but the medals are. The Blue Max belonged to German fighter ace Wilhelm Frankl but it was not the original issue but what is called a jewler's make that many winners would have made because they had to be wearing one all the time and didn't always want it to be the one they were issued.
