Re: Fake "Capture of" Campaign Medals

RocketScientist,

Looks good to me :thumbsup

It is the first type, issued in the 1940's.

Re: Fake "Capture of" Koenigsberg

Hello everybody,

First of all, I want to thank Lapa for his advice, I managed to get that Budapest medal. Now I own a real one.

Meanwhile, I have purchased this Capture of Koenigsberg medal with document. I have no background on documents, I must admit, and the few I have look all different from each other...
Please have a look, I will appreciate your opinions, precious as always.

regards.

P.S. what about increasing a bit the maximum file size for posting pictures? It is very difficult to keep enough details and an acceptable picture size within 50k...

Medal looks good, nice late 'tounge' variation. Document appears ok as well. One of the other members may help out and translate the name and unit for you.

Re: Capture of Berlin var2

Hello.

I have just now received this Capture of Berlin Variant 2, with document dated 1947.
The document seems suspicious since there is no stamp. I will show it in the dedicated forum.
I wonder if at least the medal is good.

Looking forward to receive your opinions
cheers

sergio

Re: Fake "Capture of" Campaign Medals

I am really happy to hear that! Thank you Lapa for your time.

In the meantime, Christophe manage to confirm that the stamp is still there by manipulating the scan with a photo editor. He was able to show it is just faded away!

ciao
