Hi Mikhail
It is without a doubt a fake. Dead giveaway is the eyelet, soldered with black solder and "standing" on the solder. Also the way its cut is wrong. The hammer and sickle is also way of.

Hi everyone
Please let me know your thoughts on my recent addition to my collection. Its more copper colored than the other stars. Its diestruck like the war time stars, showing vertical sheer marks on the sides.

Thanks a lot. Found out that 2/11 was the 2nd Battalion, 11th North Devonshire Regiment.
Br, Thomas
PS: Just for the record the engraved name is E. H. Andrews.
Hi everyone
This beauty came in a lot from England consisting of primarily WW1 Brittish regimental badges. If anyone can tell me more about it, for instance which Alexander I, II or III it is from. Bade is made of gilted bronze.
Cheers Thomas
Reviving this interesting thread with a recent find that hasn't been posted yet. Pictures are really bad, in hand the obverse of this fine CEJ MM cross for widows/parents looks perfect in its enamel black color.
Hope you like it
Cheers Thomas
Good evening
I'm very new to Brittish campaignstars but have read the threads here on the "ACE" star and followed the educational links. After having read the available info I bellieve my newly aquired Air Crew Europe is original but I would like to know your views.
4½ dots in the crown
Correctly shaped E
"VI" correctly attached
Diestruck
The only worrie I have concerning my star is that it has a brighter "goldish" colour to it as opposed to my other ones that has a more coppery tone to them. I hope this is due to it being unvorn?
