Here are more scans as requested.
I got the reverse ones in hope that H&S shows better.
Thanks again for all the replies.

Nexorcist,

Thanks. I still can't see the detail I want to see, but at least it doesn't look bad.

Guys,

No big secret - fakes never get the H&S handle and certain details in the branch on the reverse right.

I can only voice my opinion based on what I see from scans, that are not always good. If you can send me some 600dpi scans of them I'd be happy to have a look just to be completely certain.

Hi,

this is on E**Y - what do you think ?

And : how much do I have to expect to pay for a drowning medal these days ?

Thank you,

Jens,

There are some very good fakes of this medal, so better scans are needed. Looking at the ring, my gut feeling says bad, but ...

Jens,

I don't like its overall appearance, as Alexei mentioned.

Ok, then I`ll let it go.

Crazy that some people are willing to pay 200,- bucks for this one; not realizing that it is a fake...

Jens,

That's what happens when you don't know better...
