corvaton Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Dear members, I would like to know whether this awards is real or fake. If it is real, is it Bartel 12b? Why does the enamel look kind of strange/bloated? Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Craig Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 corvaton, Sorry that someone has not responded to your request before now. The reason that you did not receive a response is probably because this is not a BRD medal. It is difficult to comment on Scharnhorst awards. They have been so heavily faked that unless you can find someone who has one for comparison sake it is hard to answer your question. If you still would like to ask this question, I suggest that you post your pictures and questions on the DDR sub Forum of the Wehrmacht Awards Forum.

corvaton Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hello Gordon, I am sure this order is an original. Thank you for the effort! Best wishes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 corvaton, I was just explaining why no one had responded to your question here. I wasn't trying to say your medal was not original. You did however ask that question in your first post. To possibly help you a little further, I visited the GMIC and copied some pictures of the three different types of the Scharnhorst medal. Yours appears to be a type three. Here is a type one; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvaton Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Thank you for your answer, I am however certain that my order is a type two. Edited November 22, 2010 by corvaton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
