[cabbell2207]

hello all,

i just picked up a medal and was wondering if anyone has seen this before? The sides are very poorly finished could it be a fake?

That's just about right for the last model Waffenbrudershaft... quality and finish definitely not on par with earlier versions. Pretty much the case with all DDR awards, I'm afraid. And the fact that there was no State Mint for medals- they were "jobbed out", sometimes several different entities making the same badge or medal. Lots of variations. Does not appear to be a "fake".
