Fake Saving Drowning Medals - Page 10

This is another from a batch of what appear to be fakes to me being sold on ePay from one seller. Cheap, but very annoying regardless.

Any thougths about this one please???

The pictures really should be better, but from what I can see it looks good. The odd suspension ring is as it should be.

The problem with these types of medals is, as Eric(FG) pointed out in a different thread, they are widely and easily faked because good copies are so hard to spot without either having the expertise or the medal in your hands.

Retired,

It looks OK to me from what can be seen. As Phillip indicated, better scans would not hurt.

Alexei, old chum, if I had worded it, "despite the inadequate level of detail visible in the images, I cannot make out anything to suggest it is not OK, so kindly take better photos before make any determination at all" would it have been better?;)

In short, I think we both qualified our opinions with statements to the effect of: considering what we were given to work with...:)

In my opinion, this is one of the hardest medals to determine authenticity just from photos or scans, but I didn't see anything overtly off about it - so far.:rolleyes:

Yes, what Phillip said :)

The new pictures are great, and as far as I can tell the medal appears to be genuine.
