Norm, I don't like the BM book entry or the s/n.

Norm,

It looks like a duplicate but I do not like the punches used, although given the size of the "icons" you posted, anything could be.
I definitely think that the booklet entry is bogus.

Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to review the post and for your expert advice.:thumbsup Ah sh*t.lol However, I believe Shakespeare said it best when he was collecting Soviet medals "tis better to have received thumbsdown from friends than to have never received a thumbsdown at all"
(and remain uncertain).

I should have known better but purchased it from this photo. In reterospect, I can see the problem in the pics of no close up shots of the serial number.

Hey Aukesky, I might be joing your post.lol

Any oppinions about this suspension first variation?
The hole in the suspenison looks very small. Backplate and screwnut looks new.

The Bravery medal itself is okay but it is in the serial number range 200.000. So the suspension has to be a later type.

best regards and thanks
Andreas

Andreas,

I believe that this suspension is from a VSKhV medal, and definitely NOT from a bravery or CS medal.

Thanks,

I saw that a few times on german e-..y. Combat Service medals and Bravery medals with that early kind of suspension, but the medals were later type suspensions.

I also though that this could be WDNCH medal suspensions.

best regards
Andreas

Looks okay to me.

best regards

FAKE suspension, strangest looking digits and totally weird ring. Is it for here or take-away? ;)
