If all of these awards you are posting are from the same source you have someone who really loved collecting fakes....

Thanks to you all;

they were sold together for approximately 500,- Euro yesterday.

With best regards,

I think the 'No' was made with the medal and not hand-engraved. At least that's what the two Paul's tell us.
Now wether those two 'No's look like they should is another question indeed.

Were these medals good or not, finally? Beside the suspension, too difficult to me to judge, I do not see any obvious sign they are counterfeits.

Greets. Bear with me as this is my first post to you.
What does everyone think of attached photos of Labor Valour medal.

I'm very leery of this but haven't found info on it on Mondvor or other forums. I've seen the 'black serial number' before but can't place where. Suspension looks wrong and medal too pristine.

Additional photos showing the 'black serial number'. Instinct screams "FAKE". Thoughts? Thanks, everyone. Bruce

Welcome, Canadian Collector! In my opinion, the medal and suspension appear to be genuine, although I suspect the black numbers were "value-added" at a later date.
