If the seller can't supply better images and measurements I would stay far, far away.

So you mean: a fake!? The images are larger in original - may I send them via email to you?

More images to check... the diameter is 32mm by the way.

Always tough these but it doesn't look bad

OK - thank you!!!

I bought the medal and made some good photos for the discussion here :)

I like everything about it. The wear is consistent, soldering is good, details are nice.

Shocktrooper · 08-19-2016, 10:08 AM

Thank you very much! I also got it for a quite reasonable price :)

I do not like it for its edge on the obverse. It is too profound in my opinion. As far as I know WW2 specimens have either no edge or a faint one. But let's see what others say.

Tough one. If from the same seller; I wouldn't burn my fingers on it. But let's see what the others say since I'm not sure.

Btw, do you have their exact measurements and weight?
