army historian Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Against my better judgment I purchased this two medal group. I think the medals are good - but not sure of the bars, they look good. Your opinions are welcome. It was advertised as re - ribboned. Thanks and Cheers Captain Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
army historian Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Here is a better view of the bars. Cheers Captain Albert Edited February 15, 2011 by army historian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I agree - the medals do look original and so does the bar itself. The ribbons look very fresh and a bit off color (probably the picture) but appear to be original in weave and material. The two Gefechts-Spangen make sense in their combination. However, I can not comment on their originality. Let's wait for more input from others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping the bars are good, but would not be shocked if they are not. I bought the group on the assumption the bars were probably fakes.

saschaw Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I do not like the bar nor the clasps, not am I sure on the Kolonial-Denkmünze. The Saxon medal, of course, is fine. But that does not change much here, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeikoGrusdat Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 100% faked clasps...... these are the money makers on this bar (that does not look very good too - sorry ;-) ) so unfortunately you have a bad thing there..... :shame: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
army historian Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks HeikoGrusdat that is why I posted this. I figured that the bars were probably fakes - any comments on the colonial Medal? Thanks Captain Albert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
