Yes nice collection

All of us are eager to see closer shots of the EKs and the reverse of 1st Class Also The bar is given only few times and to get an original will be nearly impossible task There are so many fakes of them on the market especially eBay Germany

Yes Very questionable items When I asked the sellers, based in Bulgaria, about the poor quality , their answer was that those Orders were produced in private workshops after the WW2 and the quality control was not as good as the one made earlier I did not accept that and i did not buy any of those. although the variant with the screw back was tempting There were also 3rd Class 1 Grade for sale as well The same quality I will look in my file whether i saved some pictures Regards

Hi 922F, I did additional research The medal had 6 models The medal you listed appear to be 3rd or 4th model The difference is the size the 3rd model is 37 mm 4th Model is 30 mm The ribbon is unknown The medals came with or without ribbon loop The two desk top medals i listed appear to be with the features of the 5th and 6th model The Gilded one is 64 x47 mm 100.33 grams It is made from heavily gilded Bronze There is a variation of this size in silver - 69.33 grams the silver one that I have and listed is the smaller variation 35 x 45 mm - 30.33 grams The Gold medal is smaller size still unknown to me - 14 grams This is the gold Variant 14 grams

Thanks

I agree Nick is spot on and concise explanation Thanks

Hi 922F, Thank you for the reply If British officer is the suspect why no British Awards were not included Is the USA Awards coincides with the WW1 Period

This Second Type is part of Medal Grouping supposedly awarded to the Navy Officer on the portait

Hi 992F , Thank you for listing them 1937 Model is rare and in a medal group even rarer

Hi Graham, Welcome
