    1. Good evening.  Unfortunately I haven't recorded information sources (it was a few years ago), but there was also information that only the first part about 20 000 pieces was stamps with application/addition specifically of iron from the tank, but because of difficulties of stamping of such alloy subsequently only copper, nickel, etc. from this tank were added to alloy. It is also visible on structure and quality of medals. This question can probably be clarified by colleagues from South Africa, if they are here …

    2. Good evening, Gentlemen.  Can anyone explain. Information from some sources (eg Wikipedia):  metal from a Soviet tank captured in Angola used to manufacture a limited number of the Southern Africa Medal.  So, is metal from the tank really added only to the limited part of medals, in what numbers range ?  Or all the medals contained metal of the tank ?  And in fact it was really so (about limitation) ?  Thanks.

    3. Thanks for Your answer.

      But here is the granular surface under enamel - characteristic for the GDR/Prawema and the nut is also GDR type. On the IKOM's, the surface under the enamel is smooth and the nut is completely different.

      P.S. There are a few more 1 cl., one of which is similar to IKOM.
