I also like it, but just in case, can you please post a magnified scan of the globe.

A type 3. Mine is much thicker than most of my other (silver and brass) medals .

Matthijs,

2.7mm seems to be the norm for these.

Re: Fake Preservation of Public Order Medals

Given the fact that all measuring tools are not created equal, I would prefer to see some pictures.

Re: Fake Preservation of Public Order Medals

A acquaintance ask me to post the medal here for oppinions.

This is the silver version of the Preservation of Public Order Medal with 16 ribbons awarded till 1957.

The weight of the medal is 21,25 g and the diameter is 32.1 mm. Both specifications are in range of original ones.

In my oppinion the medal is good and a rare beauty.

regards and thanks in advance
Andreas
