Re: Fake "Capture of" Campaign Medals

Guys,

I believe that it is OK. It looks like a transitional issue between the U-shaped ring and the later Voenkomat issues.

Re: Fake "Capture of" Campaign Medals

Would better pictures be of any help? If so can I try and focus on some specific areas?

Re: Fake "Capture of" Campaign Medals

More, somewhat better perhaps, images of the item in post #97.

BTW the weight of this, without the ring is 16.1 grams

Capture of Berlin - Var. 4 ("Wojkomat") ?

Hello,

I`ve bought this one recently from an ex - collector for 35,- €. Is it a real Var. 4 post - war issue, or a fake - what do you think ?

With best regards,

Jens*
