Ladis Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Hi, what do you think about this medal? Is possible to say if it is original? Unfortunatelly, I have only these small photos now. Thanks L.
Beau Newman Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 This topic brought to mind a piece that I have been hanging on to for a while because I thought it was interesting. Not silver, not magnetic. The suspension is attached by a narrow strip soldered to the top of the planchet, similar to the war metal Baden Service Medals. Nimmergut lists a Kriegsmetall version in the OEK but, no photo. Has anyone seen a similar example?
chechaco1 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 take clear photos, cut off the excess background. nothing is visible, small and vague. as they say - " worse photos-more opinions"
VtwinVince Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Beau, yours looks like a Spangenstueck in base metal to me.
chechaco1 Posted July 23, 2021 Posted July 23, 2021 With such an " ear "it is definitely secondary, but the fact is that it is interesting to mount the "ear" on the "hangers". But in any case, the photos are very bad.

graham Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 Would be interested in getting some opinions on this one:
chechaco1 Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) The size is unclear. If 40 mm, then a good private trader, but, apparently, the medal is small. Edited July 27, 2021 by chechaco1
chechaco1 Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Small "kriegs" are found, but officially they are 39mm. it is unknown who made the "babies" and why. versions can be sketched, but all this will be without documentary confirmation
graham Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 Thanks again chechaco1, my medal is silver and 25.5mm.
