The seller said silver.
As for me it is not only the material the medal was made from.
Is this a real experimental / sample medal?
Also the price $400.00 is way too high even for a real thing (at least for me):D

I know nothing about this medal :(, but if you look at the way the pin is attached to the suspension, you will see what I mean. Of course, silver could also refer to the color of the metal.

Eric,

I am not sure either, but it does not look like the quality one would expect from a mint sample/experimental piece.

Marc, Alexei
I agree with you 100%
I also have a lot of questions about this medal.
I would spend $20.00-30.00 on it, but $400.00 :thumbsdown
