hello, I would like to ask you why the suspenders of this mignon medal is different from the others.

Is it a variant or a test?

thanks, Luigi

okay, I will try to do some tests with ribbons that I already know are modern productions and I will compare them with doubtful cases.
Do you use protective glasses when using uv lights?

Here I took a picture with a UV flashlight. What information can I get from this photo?

Have you tried a UV test on it?

no, I'm not sure I have the right lamp.
But by feeling, since the ribbon seems "hard" and too new, I am more inclined to think that it is not original, rather than that it is.
I was wondering if "on sight" it was possible for you experts to determine if it is original or not.

since you tell me about uv lamp, what should i see if the ribbon is original? Do you have any examples in your possession that you can share?

greetings, Luigi

Thanks Ura87.

Thanks for the reply Graham. And what do you think of the ribbon? It feels quite stiff to the touch for silk. In addition to appearing also with bright colors.

hello gentlemen, I am new to this group but I have been following you for some time.
I wanted your opinion on this Greek victory medal, not having specific books available.
I think the ribbon is not original. Thanks for your help.

greetings, Luigi
