Fake Medals "For Bravery" - Page 13

@Marc,

The raw cut edges of the metal plate fixing the ribbon, the edges of the suspension itself, the often used simple nut made of steel or other cheap materials and a fake patina (almost black). The original suspensions always have been made (as you surely know) with almost the same effort than the orders itself. So I think they are easy to recognize.

Jens,

That's more like it ;) In your original post, you were talking only about the screwplate...

Hi,

I would like to have your opinion on this one. The obverse seems fine to me (consistent with the 4XX.XXX-5XX.XXX that I have). It's just that I have a mixed feeling about the SN ... and especially the "4" and the "shadow" above it. Is it just me :o or something isn't quite right ?

Thanks,

Patrick

Patrick,

It looks OK to me.

Nice medal. And only a few traces of wearing and/ or polishing - A fine addition to any collection :)

Thanks, Jens ! :thumbsup As a matter of fact, it is just "in route" to becoming one of the last addition to my BM's collection ! :D

Gentlemen, what do you think about this one? The suspension is definitely fake so I left that one out.

I'd say, this BM looks like a 3.2XX.XXX-3.4XX.XXX

I think so too, but strangely enough I don't see any traces of a buffed out serial number.
