Wouldn`t buy any KDM on ebay today

Also SWA and China medals and most of the clsps - all high paid crap !!

BTW - the seller comes from my hometown, but it`s not me

greetings

do all originals have the other type ring ?

Scott,

The Kaiser would have never authorized this caricature of his image, but there are other indicators - compare to a known original it will become obvious.

Looks rather like an old, gilt "Spangenst?ck" to me. Or are those modern fakes known? I know the medals arer heavily faked, but those sold by e.g. "sterog62" aka "ichverkaufealles12345" and "aubanan12" look somewhat different to me...

(I would not buy ANYTHING from those mentioned eBay guys... )
