So we have following variations of the Guarding the State Border Medal:

Variation 1a - sterling silver with round flat ring 21,5 Gramm (+/- 1)
Variation 1b - sterling silver with round ring 21,5 Gramm (+/- 1)

Variaiton 2 - german silver/Neusilber alloy 16,5 Gramm
Variaiton 3 - cupro-nickel 17 Gramm

In the above classification mine is a Varition 2 with "hanging noose" ring?

many thanks and regards
Andreas

I think it is difficult to judge from this poor scan, but I hope that someone will try: this item went unsold at an auction in northern italy, about 2 months ago.
It gives me a bad impression, however I never saw this medal elsewhere than in photo.
Thank you

Sergio,

I don't like it. Just to start, the ring is off center to the left !!!

KDVR,

This medal does not look bad, but you need to post a full scan of both the front and back.
