Yes, it's amazing what the two look like under "black light." The difference is so stark that it's literally impossible to miss when seen side by side.

This is my combat medal. I know, the suspension is new, but what do you think, the number on the back of the medal can be original?

Looks good to me. I'd be willing to put $ on a wager that it was issued by the South Western Front.
