Not the best pictures to judge such a difficult medal. For what I see, I could give it a chance.

Hi everyone

Won this on an auction today and can send it back if its not good. I hope you can help me out here, details looks weak is it because of wear to die, or wear on uniform or do you think its fake?

I will post better pics when I recieve it!

Thomas, I don't like #1500. There is just as much if not more wear on the lower areas such as the lighthouse. Your photo could be magnified, however I don't like the look of the sailor hat's tassels either.

I would also be very surprised if the measurements are correct. Looks like a Lithuanian fake to me.

Thanks a lot for your answers, will post better pictures and measurements when I get it.

I believe that the only good can be... just the very worn and consumed.

Hi Guys

Back again with some better scans, I'm in two minds about this worn/polished original or cast copy?

Certainly not "well worn" or "well polished".

The measurements will no doubt confirm that it is fake.

Thanks Ctahhr, the medals diameter is 32,2 mm.

What size should an original be?
