Can someone PM me the sellers forum name ? I have found the listing but am none the wiser to their identity on here.

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
It's quite strange that so many people try to fob off such obviously crude home-made altered awards.... You would think if someone was going to try and sell a "foreigner" medal for LOADS of money they could at least get professional tools or ask a professional jeweller or the such to make the alterations for them... Simply chiselling or grinding off the lettering is only fooling the most mentally challenged of people... None of these home made alterations will taste right at all....

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
Auke,
I don't like it :thumbsdown The rays on the obverse are not right, and on the back, quite a few fine details are off (the grass as I mentioned before, soldier's equipment...). Marc |

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
A couple of times I've been caught up in the moment and bought a lot with an obvious fake in it but when the fake is the only item in the lot and it seems too good to be true then it is.... Mind you who can afford Fabregé to produce modified or fake items? when you can just grind bits off or buy lead fakes and stand well back.....:D
