Fake "Capture of" Campaign Medals
Thank Mr. Alexei Sir!

What do you all think about these two?
My concerns are the 'newness' & lack of wear/dings of both and the border of the reverse of the CoB. Also, the ring on the CoB looks too big?
Am I right or just paranoid?

This one has me puzzled for a rather unusual reason. It is way too underpriced compared to the rest of this seller's items. Moreover, I am always thrown off by the "U" rings because they seem so easy to fake by stamping. And this one seems even odder than normal - tilting slightly to one side.

Any thoughts?

Phillip

It looks fine to my eye, for what that's worth. Koenigsberg usually isn't a very expensive medal at any rate.

Thanks guys. Good to know. It's hard to gauge prices sometimes when there are sellers with outrageous prices and some with common sense. But as Voltaire said: "Common sense is not so common.";)

What say you to these, please?
The big ring on the CoB concerns me.

I would guess :thumbsup for the Belgrad, more sceptical :thumbsdown about the Vienna. But I do not think that one can be 75% sure :D with such scans.

Let wait more qualified opinions!
cheers
