Although these medals are well above my pay grade, and certainly not within the range and scope of my collective interest/experience, what concerns me, aside from the over-engineering aforementioned, is the discontinuity of the obverse circumference ring below the suspension ring. I have circled my area of concern in red utilizing your photograph. A previous assessment noted this same flaw/fault on the reverse. I have seen similar design flaws/faults on a very convincing (close, but no cigar) Black Metallurgy medal reproduction.
