Ouch, yes, that is on the high side. Just as there aren't many of these on the supply side, the demand for such a priced item cannot be that high. Try reasoning with him.

It is a very cool low numbered BM but 2250 Euros is ridiculous.

Hello. Maybe this medal was already posted in this forum, but I was not able to find it.
Please have a look: is it alright? I have too little experience to draw any conclusion on square suspension medals... I count on your comments.

grazie

Looks okay to me Sergio.

Sexy! Hard to fake all those wear patterns (I hope).

Still searching for a type 1 BM ......What about this one?

Norm Braddock · 03-06-2011, 10:01 AM

Medallion looks fine.

***desantnik*** · 03-06-2011, 10:13 AM

Base medal looks fine. Nut on suspension looks like a cast copy and not enough detail to call on the suspension, but I would be leery.

Hey, I got one right-woohoo!

Just for the sake of discussion, I'd like to address the issue of suspensions-whether or real or not. To each his own much like my Big Mac and Quarter Pounder analogy. I can only speak for myself. I don't care whether the suspension is real or not. I think we assume that if the original suspenion is not present, the suspension was created/added by some collector. That may be the case in some instances but would you not agree that the majority of these were created or vet modified by the actual vet?

For me, it is the medallion which is the most important. An original suspension is gravy if you get one. Remember, some vet paid a price (not monetary) to get that award.

Interested to get your feedback.

This is my commetary for today. Copies of it can be purchased for $29.95 plus shipping and handling on PBS. You will receive this thread and a copy of Kapusta's Greatest Banjo Hits (hey, you guys try playing "Katyusha" on a banjo-it ain't easy).
