Well, I have been working on the scans and I think I have some better scans now. I have noticed that if you click the photo it opens in a small black window and if you click that small black window it will open a large image of the picture in a browser window. I don't know if that matters much on anyone elses computer but it looks good on mine when I do that.

David,

These pics are better, somewhat. When you want to show us a medal for opinions about genuineness, no need to include the suspension; suspensions can and were changed on a regular basis.

That being said, I'll side with Alexei and say that IMHO, your medal is genuine :thumbsup

Thanks everyone for your feedback, it makes me feel better. Now wouldn't replacing the original suspension and ribbon on a medal by a collector diminish the value in the long run?

David,

On high priced items, it may, on common stuff, not really :cool:

Appreciate opinions, please, on the following V over Germany and Japan medals, acquired recently in the Baltics on loan, am considering buying. Thanks for opinions. Also, any comments on approximate value appreciated as well as I am considering as new addition to my collection and I was wondering general price. Thank you

Both are good, however the VoG looks caked with metal polish.

Thanks, Desantnik. I thought they looked old enough...the polish is annoying,and tough to get off...but am going to probably buy them for 50 bucks each...appreciate your authentication. thanks again

I think that price might be a bit steep actually.

Yes, $50 is way too excessive. The VoG goes for something like $15-$20 and Japan may $20-$25.
