Could you post a scan of the reverse side?

Sorry,

Andreas,

Tal is right, the reverse is most important to determine if it is genuine.

The front of the medallion looks OK to me; ring was obviously repaired; link is no original; a bigger hole was drilled in the suspension to accept the thicker replacement link.

Tal, thanks. I guess it should be OK. :) The round stamp and signature stamps look rather sloppy.
