Georg14 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Good day! It is depressed by set of fakes. All offers from Britain - how much frequent fakes of this medal ? and advise where to take the guaranteed original. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I have never seen a good fake of this medal, it is a very safe medal to buy since it is not actively faked. The Victory Medal has French made copies but the 1914-15 War Medal and 1914-20 War Medal does not. Where have you seen these fakes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter3 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Do you have any pics. of the fakes? If you do, please post them! If no photos, what tipped you off that they are fakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georg14 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 It is a lot of offers of purchase of this medal from Britain (on-line shops, eBay...), but I did not assert that it is fakes. If a lot of 'Victory Med.' are false, it is possible also other medals are too, that interested me before buy this medal. I have no photo of fakes, and opinions of local collectors can discredit the original, therefore I will refrain of references. Many thanks.

Paul L Murphy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 The Victory Medal has been widely copied, however the War Medals have not. You are pretty safe buying the 1914-20 War Medal. If you are still concerned you can send me a PM with your details and what you need and I will have a look for them when I am in Japan at the end of this month.

Georg14 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks for the offer, but it is not necessary. While it is safe buying, I will do it through the I-net. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshorter Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hi Nick, If you happen to read this post, can you provide the Kanji & pronunciation for this medal? I've been able to find the translations for the rest of my collection (with your help!!!), but this one stumps me a bit. Thanks again!

jshorter Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Thanks Nick! I was able to read "Taisho San-Nen", "Kyuu-Nen" and "Juugun Kisho", but was having problems with the rest! Kindest regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
