Either the medal posted is a variant or a reproduction.

Re: Medal for Gallantry

It's the copy you asked for. Someone has paid $46 for one. $4.6 is too much...

Re: Medal for Gallantry

Afghan awards usually fetch such -and higher- prices.

I also saw one on a popular auction site with a document. However, it said in the title that it was a copy. I overlooked the "copy" warning at first glance myself.

Re: Medal for Gallantry

Guys, quick Q.

Re: Medal for Gallantry

If not one of the VAST array of these showing up online for $35 that happen to be fakes. Someone is really churning these out somewhere.

Re: Medal For Gallantry

It was an "in person" buy.

It looks ok to me...

Re: Medal For Gallantry

£20 well spent. The fakes have a rather "Lordship Industries" look to them.
