Nice analysis Mr. Nick, there are some difference between the neck and breast badge.

I see Mr. Nick all are original , but there is a chance the box and medal came from different era.

I see Nick nice conclusion, and Thank you for the info of other 2 "M" mark 1st class medal. so the only difference we can see for now between 1st and 3rd class are still the ring loop.

Hi again Nick, so the 2 sample of 1st class "M" mark are 80+ grams only Thank you for the additional information.
-
I see.... so it was also close to 4 mm thick, but the weight is far from mine.

Wow nice translation, so it was awarded to pilot's during the war.

Ya so we can compare the average weight of 1st and 3rd class, it really have 10+ grams difference for now. which is large difference already.

Hi again i have the weight of each medal (i have lifted the ring loop lightly to lessen the ring weight) 1st = 95.5 +- grams 3rd = 78.5 +- grams so it has a lot of difference in weight almost 17 grams includes ring mine is 1st = 96.37 3rd = 83 +- ( cant weight it well due has ribbon)
