I think that number should be stamped, not engraved.

[Wagner]

Thanks for your answer Eric.

Why do you think that the number should be stamped ?
The medal is good or bad ?

More opinion please:(

[Lauri]

Hi,

this medal should be without any number. Maybe veteran himself let engrave number to the medal because he lost earlier medal... maybe someone is trying to sold something what is not correct.

It can be also duplicate award, but i have never seen these kind of number ''style'' on duplicate awards.

Otherwise, medal himself is of course original.

[Wagner]

ok Lauri, many thanks for your coment.

this medal should be without any number.

That's what I think as well. And odds are that the engraving was done to deceive. :mad:

Wagner,

I concur with Lauri, the medal itself is original, but the SN is not.

Nope, just a perfect example of a fake serial number.

Recently aquired, a CSM with somewhat odd stamped numbers... 81834. Legit early number or the creative work of idle hands?
