Hi folks,

What is your opinion about this Valiant labour I have got? Should it be made of silver?
It came along with the award document dated 1949, which will be posted in the dedicated forum.

Thanks for your comments.
cheers

Should it be made of silver?

It's a particularly dark patina. Very nice, actually.

I've only seen when someone takes one of these and tries to put a serial number on it. I can't imagine faking just an unnumbered medal - though lately, nothing surprises me anymore about what some people will do for a little "dengy."

In this case, I have no reason to suspect anything wrong. And as Eric pointed out, it has a really nice and dark patina.:thumbsup I don't know if it is the particular silver content in these, but almost all of the ones like this I have are on the very dark side.

Thanks,
