Not sure if this is the right place but....
Does this look OK?

Eric,
Your scans are rather blurry. All I can say from these is that your medal looks very similar to present day copies/fakes. Marc |

Thanks Marc :thumbsup
Yeah, I figured it was too good to be true. The one thing I noticed in comparison to the first image is the hoop is much differently shaped. Dunno if that's a tell-tale sign or what.

Imperial Zeal medal
This is allegedly a third class. Silver. 51mm and 60 grams.
Can anyone comment on its authenticity please? I notice the ring is part of the medal itself like many of the T2 or T3 Soviet medals are. Interesting. Thanks in advance

Re: Russian medal For Zeal to a British sailor
Thanks Eddie,
We've looked around a lot of sites, including those. Unfortunatly, it is so very long ago, in a time when much personal info died with the person. There is a group photo, on the top site, we've seen it on another site too, if only it had their names under it! No one thought of it at the time I supose, all brave lads too! VBR Martin |

Imperial Zeal medal
Gents, what do you think?
I'm leaning towards 'OK', in my very limited experience. Looks to be well-struck and I see no obvious warning signs. Opinions?:confused:

Re: Imperial Zeal medal
Eric,
Obviously not my cup of tea... Is it normal that the letters on the back be misaligned? Marc |
