Fake Labour Medals - Page 6

Dear forum menbers,

this medal came across my way. What do you think about the medal and expecially about the triangle suspension.

The medal looks okay to me. The upper star touches the boarder and number (No) is stamped and looks right.

The measurements of the suspension are:
diameter screw 3,85 mm
top/down 28,5mm
left/right 33,1 mm
thickness 1,03 mm

best regards and thanks in advance
Andreas

Andreas,

The medal itself looks OK, apart from what seems to be a repaired ring.
Could you please post some scans of the edges of the suspension>

Thanks Marc,

here are the edges of the suspension from post 48. All three sides.

best regards

Andreas,

It's a nice medal with a genuine suspension.

I found this Medal for Distinguished Labor T1 V2

Medal seems ok, but the booklet is a faked one no? such a medal awarded in 1945 :confused:
Suspension looks also bad, can you confirm it?
Thanks

Some more scans...

What do you think of this piece?

Lapa · 05-22-2009, 02:30 PM

Laurent,

I think that the medallion is genuine. The suspension, as you suspected, is definitely fake, especially since medals in this SN range were issued on 5-sided suspensions.
The document seems to be OK, albeit potentially for one small detail: the medal number is higher than the booklet number. I have seen it happen the other way around, but never this way :confused:
Here are a closely related medal and its document.

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your help! :thumbsup
You confirmed what I thought... good medal, bas suspension and strange award booklet...
well I will have to check this again!
Thanks for the scans as well

Laurent,

The award booklet is not that strange, it is pretty much in line with what it should be.
