Hello,

Just to the piont, I am searching for a 1965 produced type, which one am I looking for, a u shape or a ring type 3?

Vliegvis,

That will definitely be the not numbered, convex ring type.

Norm,

You are improving your photo skills at a cosmic speed ;)

The medallion is A-OK, and I like what can be seen of the suspension.

ps, notice my first side view profile?

Yep, so, for next time, show us the goodies, not the wrapping :D

Hi,

I am sure, you will :) !

It is not easy to recognize modern fakes. When looking for an early bravery or combat service - medal, you should at first take a look at the suspension. A lot of later Medals have been converted to early ones just by engraving a fantasy number, giving them new early suspensions and replacing the eyelet of the medal itself. The best hint is the screwing nut; just inform yourself by reading Paul&Paul`s book f.e. and you will be able to exclude 95% of all fakes and conversions immediately.
