Hello Gentlemen, I agree with Molders on what he is saying regarding the 1916 medals, I am a serious collector myself through the years I have found out that the only way you can seriously fake these medals is by having the exact machine that made these in 1941. There are tell tale signs on fake 1916 medals. The only fake 1916 medal that I have ever seen was 16 grams in weight and had a line on the edges of it that showed it had been joined in two parts. Recently I have contacted reliable sources and they have confirmed that there is no way that anyone can get the weight of these medals 100% correct. Thanks
