Hello all,
I bought this Atlantic star from ebay, I'm pretty sure its a reproduction but I wanted a second opinion, as it seems to have quite a lot of detail. I only paid £13.50 so if it is a copy then its not too much of a lesson. I'll try and get the money back though, on principle!
The most concerning part is the general gilt colouring, the reverse side sharp metal areas, and the stippling background on the lettering feels clumsy. The crown has a good level of detail however. Its puzzling me, as usually its quite obvious when these medals are reproductions. This one seems to have been made quite well.
Apologies for the huge pictures. I wanted to show as much detail as possible.
Thanks for any comments!
