Hello !!
What do you think about this medal?
In my opinion the ring and the metal don’t seems regular .

Thanks

DSC70,

Your medal is a nice, genuine one, most likely from just after the end of the war.

Ciao

This a Victory over Germany medal I have got.
I have noticed this discolouration which might be suspicous...for sure I have seen better Victory medals in other occasions. It came with a document which looks orginal to me, at least because it seems old.

I would like to submit both to your judgement. Thank you.

cheers

Sergio

the medal and document are good. The discoloration is only oxidation on the brass.

Both look OK. The document is a scarce naval awarding.

Hello Everyone,

I have a victory over Germany medal which I need comments on. Please see the pictures. I am really questioning this because if you notice the medal especially the front, the gold color seems to be coming off. Also the suspension piece looks new and like it is made out of sheet metal. The ribbon also looks kind of new. What do you think?

Kirchgoens · 11-01-2008, 09:58 AM

There's nothing wrong with the suspension: it's a normal 60's through 80's one-piece aluminum suspenion. Whether or not it matches the period of the medal we cannot tell because your photos are FAR too small to get any details from them. Would you try photographing them again at a higher pixel dimension or maybe scan them on a flatbed scanner?
