Good to know, thanks! In this case it could be awarded in 1943... It is the lowest serial number I have in my collection!

Thank you

I think I will never learn how to recognize an original T1 supension from a fake one, nevertheless I could immediately understand this one is a "reproduction" :o

However, the price was reasonable and I decided to take it.

Thanks for your comments
ciao
sergio

Re: Fake Medals for Bravery

Does it look like a real WWII bravery medal? I believe it is type 2 var 1 subvar 1a, but I'm very inexperienced with silver medals.
