Riley1965 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Hello,I've been told that some suspensions have been replaced. Would this be a good buy? Payments don't start until next month if I buy them. Dealer really easy to work with. Doc
Alfred Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Doc,in my honest oppinion it is a total loss of money, if they are offered as genuine to you.If they are cheap and you want to use them to decorate a uniform it is a good deal.I think all three suspensions or at least parts of them are fakes. The labour medal is a fake. It is made from a later version without number.For the two military merit medals I have no clue. Better pictures are needed. If the medal with hand engraved serial number is okay, it could be a good deal. They are very rare. best regardsAndreas
Riley1965 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks andreas!!! I was afraid of that. The cost of these is too much to spend on fakes. Doc
Eric B Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 By no means an expert here, but the script looks nothing like the engraving on authentic pieces.As well, looking on page 226 of the Comprehensive Guide at the identified fake there makes me further doubt the authenticity of the second MMM. The script is not an exact match, but especially the "N" is very close.
Ed_Haynes Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 My two kopeks worth: I'd look elsewhere. Especially without better images.
William22 Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I'm afraid that I agree with all of the above opinions. I have seen quite a few of these in the past and though not an expert, these look too good to be true.
Alfred Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 The first military merit medals looks okay. But he serial number 734.287 is to high for the little square suspension. The change to 5 sided big suspension is somewhere around 470.000.regardsAndreas
